Why More Men Are Practicing Self-Care As Part Of Their Routine

Why men’s health and why now?

Here at City Cave, we look at the facts. The statistics that surround men's health are confronting but show us exactly why we need to be doing more.

Why we care

• One in eight men will experience depression and one in five men will experience anxiety at some stage of their lives 

• Men make up an average of seven out of every nine suicides every single day

• Men under 65 are four times more likely than women to die from heart disease

At City Cave, we believe health and wellness are universal. We recognise the importance of men's mental and physical health, and we aim to support the journey in de-stigmatising and breaking down the barriers that suggest otherwise.

How we want to help

As men's stigmas subside, we are learning how many men struggle to keep their health and wellness in check. This is where City Cave comes in!

We offer an array of services focusing on rest and recovery, with absolutely no boundaries. Whether you’re suffering from exercise induced muscular strain or chronic stress from a busy lifestyle, we have a service for you.

Recover faster & feel better

For men who don’t know where to start, we have a solution for you. Our infrared saunas are the perfect way to rest and recover with no compromise. Through heat and light, our infrared saunas relax and detoxify the body. This technology has been used to relieve pain, increase circulation and purify your skin. Beyond this, our infrared saunas propel you into deep relaxation, promoting a strong sense of peace and clarity of mind.

I mean, who doesn’t like the sound of that?

But it gets better!

Combine this with massage therapy and you’ve got a whole new level of relaxation. We offer a range of massage therapy techniques from remedial massage to stress and anxiety relief to treating any of  the following: 

• Anxiety

• Digestive disorders

• Headaches

• Insomnia related to stress

• Soft tissue strains or injuries

• Sports injuries

Rest and repair

Perhaps you’ve had one too many consecutive days in the gym? You can also use our infrared saunas and massage therapy to bounce back between workouts. How you recover is just as important as how you train - so remember to put in the hours where it matters most! See more on the benefits of infrared sauna to muscle repair and athletic recovery.

Breaking barriers: rest and relax

Here at City Cave our Floatation therapy or Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy (R.E.S.T) offers an experience like no other. This service reduces the sound, sight and touch of your environment by placing you in a pool filled with magnesium sulfate so you float effortlessly. The benefits of float therapy are endless, but men might be surprised by how it affects them.

Float for heart health

Floatation-REST therapy is proven to improve your cardiovascular health by inducing deep relaxation that reduces stress and improves sleep. As we know, men under 65 are four times more likely to suffer from cardiovascular problems than women.

Floatation therapy acts as a preventative measure by helping to reduce stress naturally. Floating lowers your blood pressure, heart rate and has been proven to drastically decrease levels of the stress hormone cortisol.

For those who are beginners or just don’t know if float is for you, we have our float intro pack! This allows you to float away without the stress of breaking the bank. You can grab three of our Float Therapy sessions for $149 (essentially three for the price of two!). With each float equivalent to four hours of sleep, say goodbye to tired eyes and morning coffees - you’ll be a changed man!

For him, from you

Have you got a man in your life? Whether that be a partner, husband, brother, son or even an in-law, join our efforts by gifting them an experience they’ll never forget.

Couples floating

Floating as partners brings a new level of intimacy to a couple’s relationship. We understand new experiences can be scary, but everything is easier when done together! Depriving your senses together increases your physical and emotional connection, and ultimately unifies you in a totally unique way. Besides, everything is better in pairs, right?

Gift Packages

If couples floating isn’t really your thing, or you think your loved one would rather try our infrared saunas and massage therapy, we have gift packages for anything you could need.

You can grab an individual service, or check out our packages: 

Infrared Sauna + Massage (Saunage) $125 

Combine our infrared technology with massage therapy to amplify the benefits of muscle recovery and pain relief. Our infrared saunas will increase circulation and detoxify your body to ensure your therapist can achieve a deeper and more effective massage.

Infrared Sauna + Float Therapy (Flauna) $99

The way to experience a full mind and body experience by combining an infrared sauna followed by a float session. This treatment allows you to relax your muscles and relieve tension throughout the body to ensure you can detox and destress during your float. 

Float Therapy + Massage (Floatage) $145

Combining massage therapy with floatation therapy brings new benefits to the table. Floating before your massage speeds up the process of your muscles relaxing, which gives the massage therapist more time with already loose muscles. Floating after your massage is also beneficial as it further cares for the problem areas that may have been targeted in your session.
