The Float Centre : Clear Headed,Physically Relaxed and
Refreshed!
WHY FLOAT?
So you can eliminate stress, tension & muscle in a simple
effortless way.....by floating. "Floating compensates
for lack of sleep ... 2 hours in a Float Tank can be
more restful & restorative than a full night of sound
sleep" Floating is successfully used by athletes to
improve performance signficantly & to speed recovery.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
A floatation tank is a special lightweight floatarium
designed to remove the effect of gravity. No Noise,
No Light, No Feeling of Weight. Entry to the tank is
through a light sliding door which you can close or
leave partly or completely open. Once inside the tank
you rest upon an extremely dense solution of sterile
warm water and Epsom salts - a velvety mixture just
10 inches deep,yet so tremendously buoyant, you have
no choice but to float - you cannot sink. During this
process your muscles relax to a degree not possible
under any other circumstance & relief flows through
your entire body. Throughout this process stress, tension
& fatigue are rapidly released. The benefits include
feeling calm & clear headed, physically relaxed & refreshed.
AFTERWARDS You will feel so calm & contented you won't
feel like rushing back to the real world straight away.
Allow yourself an extra 10 minutes to sit & enjoy the
experience in our lounge.
REASSURING FACTS
Complete Privacy is assured. You float in your own private
Float room, in your own tank. You are in total control
of this tank and can leave it at anytime you like during
the float. Floating in a tank does not feel claustophobic.
Tanks are very roomy, lightweight & well-ventilated.
The door of the tank can be left open while you're getting
used to the process & a soft light may also be left
on if you are not comfortable with total darkness. Rest
assured you will feel perfectly comfortable.
SAFE & HYGIENIC
The high salt concentration in the tank makes the water
so dense it's like the DEAD SEA and anyone, no matter
how heavy they are, will float. The salt content also
keeps the water sterile, along with an automatic filtration
cycle after each session.
FLOATAGE
Our most popular product is a "FLOATAGE" a combination
of a Float & a Massage. A floatage combines either a
1/2 hour or a 1 hour massage with a regular 50 minute
float. A Floatage can be described as a mini holiday
- two hours of pure relaxation and recuperation.
INTRODUCTORY OFFER
1 hour float session $25.00. valid Monday
- Friday 9am - 3pm

D-Stress with Temomin: Ten Minute Massages!
"Temomin" is a fabricated Japanese word where "te" means
hand and "momi" means massage.
"Temomin" provides ten-minute seated massages, which
are extremely popular in Japan and throughout Asia,
and hour long sessions (depending on each patients needs).
Ten-minute massages are popular in Japan, where the
lifestyle is extremely busy, as a means of alleviating
stress.
The aim is for patients to just come in, sit down, be
massaged for ten minutes and go away feeling as if a
burden has been lifted from their shoulders.
Each Temomin massage is Japanese-style and Kazu (owner
and main therapist) is a Japanese-qualified Shiatsu
and Acupuncture therapist.
NB: "oil" is not used with all patients fully clothed
when massaged.

Get
Fit : With Brisbane Personal Trainers!
Look
after your body. Don't abuse it. Progress in small steps
and results will speak for themselves.
Progression in training is important for
-
achieving fitness goals
-
avoiding plateaus
-
minimising the risk of injury and
-
providing variety to your weekly training.
Provide yourself a challenge and increase your workload!
The longer you stay at the same level the more efficient
you become . More efficient equals less energy used.
Therefore, if fat loss is your goal, the worst thing
you could do is stay at the one level.
To keep the results coming,consider these variables-
Frequency- number of times you do activity
Intensity- effort level during your training session
Time - the duration of the activity Type-
choice of activity
One of the simplest examples of progression is that
of walking. Take a beginner that has recently started
a walking program at approximately 5 km per hour and
has been doing this 3 times per week for the past
3 months. Their heart rate during the first session
was 145 bpm(beats per minute) and 3 months later for
the same work out is 115 bpm. This lower heart rate
is an indication that they are more efficient and
therefore using less energy to do the same work. How
could they increase their workload? Options are to
do the course more often, in a faster time, increase
the distance or increase the difficulty of the terrain(include
hills).Perhaps even all of the above.
With
the application of the above principles things should
keep improving. It's an absolute Privilege to be able
to exercise.Enjoy it!

Short
and Sweet: Smoked Cod with Parsley Sauce!
Serves : 4
Ingredients
2
cups Australian Milk 3 parsley stalks, bruised 5 whole
black peppercorns 3 whole cloves garlic 600g smoked
cod 50 g Australian Butter 1/4 cup flour 1 cup Australian
Milk, extra salt and pepper, to taste 2 tablespoons
chopped fresh parsley mashed potato, seasoned vegetables.
Method
Combine
milk, parsley stalks, peppercorns, garlic and cod in
a deep frying pan. Add enough water to just cover fish,
if required. Bring to the boil, reduce heat and simmer
gently for 5 minutes or until fish flesh turns opaque.
Gently remove fish from poaching liquid and keep warm.
Strain liquid and reserve. You will need 2 1/2 cups
of liquid to make the sauce. Make this up with the extra
milk, if required. Melt butter in another saucepan and
stir in flour. Cook for approximately 4 minutes, until
mixture is bubbling and starts to turn golden, about
4 minutes. Gradually add reserved milk mixture and stir
until sauce boils and thickens. Season to taste and
stir in parsley. Serve with poached cod, mashed potato
and seasonal vegetables.
