After at about 2 years of sciatica and much money spent on many many visits to physiotherapy, osteopathy, chiropractic services, I have to say Olly was by far the best treatment I've had. Can't thank him enough, he's loosened my hips, glute and leg muscles and tonight a don't have that punched glute muscle causing pain down my leg at all. I'm so excited. He also worked on my shoulders and which were tight, my whole body feels resurrected.

The Float Studio Cairns

Reviewed By Carowag

I love the infrared sauna at the studio but this was my first float pod session and it was a truely unique and enjoyable experience. Was unsure how I would enjoy completely darkness floating in water with no stimulation but loved it and left feeling very energised. Good value for money and outstanding facilities and customer service.
