Experience Elevated Relaxation In Our Anti-Gravity Float Pods
What is The R.E.S.T. Centre?
The R.E.S.T. Centre, or Restricted Environmental Stimulus Therapy Centre, offers a zero gravity environment that allows the mind, body and soul to truly rest.
At the R.E.S.T. Centre we offer Floatation Therapy, PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) Therapy, Cold Plunge and Infrared Sauna Therapy, Red Light Therapy, and Massage Therapy.
The act of floatation is created by a special solution of salinated water utilizing 1,200 pounds of Epsom salt. The buoyancy effect makes floating on water feel like floating on air. Without any effort you can relieve pain, heal faster, relax, decrease stress, improve sleep, and achieve clarity and well being in this unique state.
The benefits are staggering and the experience is life altering. Floatation therapy has been shown to positively affect individuals who suffer from chronic pain, insomnia, fibromyalgia, back pain, sports injuries, stress, anxiety as well as many more conditions.

Brent Giroux - The Heart of The R.E.S.T. Centre
The R.E.S.T. Centre was founded by Brent Giroux, a remarkable individual who has turned personal challenges into a beacon of hope.
Following a life-altering accident in 1987, Brent endured a profound struggle with chronic pain, depression, and the aftermath of a traumatic head injury. This experience fueled his determination to seek relief, and through sheer perseverance, Brent found solace in floating therapy, experiencing a pain-free existence for the first time in decades.
This profound change inspired him to open the R.E.S.T. Centre. Drawing from his personal journey and deep expertise in float therapy, Brent offers invaluable guidance on utilizing the floatation pod to enhance well-being.
With Brent's leadership, the R.E.S.T. Centre has made a huge impact on the evolution of pain management.
