True Rest Float Spa
A new float therapy spa is opening in Belle View.
Construction has started to turn the closed BB&T Bank branch at 1640 Belle View Blvd., near the intersection of Fort Hunt Road and Belle View Boulevard, into True Rest Float Therapy Spa. The building is in the Shops at Belle View shopping center.
True Rest Float Therapy Spa is a place where people can go float in a high-salt bath, which can help a person's blood pressure, immune function and more.
"True REST® (Reduced Environmental Stimulus Therapy) is a zero-gravity environment that allows the mind and body to completely let go, relax, and reset. Using 1,000 pounds of Epsom Salts, the buoyancy of the water makes floating on water feel like floating on air. By eliminating the forces of gravity pulling on the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, you can effortlessly relieve pain, relax, recover, and improve sleep in this unique state," the company's website explains.
The company has dozens of float centers across the United States. This is the company's first center in the region (the closest current locations are in New Jersey, new Pittsburgh and in North Carolina).
A Synergy Float Center opened in Alexandria in 2018, which also provides floating experiences.
