Among the list of state-of-the-art amenities included in the new facility is a float pod from Float Pod Technologies. The team purchased the pod to encourage players to utilize flotation therapy, an all-natural recovery tool that recently rose to prominence when Golden State Warriors MVP Stephen Curry revealed that he floats regularly during the NBA season. Three-time All Star and Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo has taken advantage of Wrigley Field’s newest […]

There’s a reason mom always kept a salt supply handy – everyone from the high school track coach to the World Health Organization recommends […]

We all face those weeks from time to time, and last week was one of them for me.

The combination of the drug trip and float tank result in a distorted reality that becomes more and more permanent, ultimately threatening to transform the […]
