CORE Wellness & Recovery Services

At The CORE Movement Studio, movement and recovery go hand in hand. Alongside our Pilates, GYROTONIC®, and CoreAlign® programming, we also offer two advanced wellness recovery modalities: the NEO Light Bed with 4 color options and 6 frequencies and the Starpool Zerobody Dry Float Bed — the only combination of its kind in Montgomery County.

Both are available as standalone services, with no Pilates membership or attendance required. Current CORE members can also purchase wellness credits to their membership for a discounted-frequency rate. Whether you're managing chronic tension, recovering from training, or simply want to invest in restorative self-care, our recovery suite is open to the entire community.

NEO Light Bed | Full-Body Red & Near-Infrared Light Therapy

What It Is

The NEO Light Bed is a full-body photobiomodulation (light therapy) bed that bathes the body in targeted red and near-infrared light wavelengths. Unlike a spot-treatment panel, the full-bed design allows every major muscle group to receive consistent, even exposure in a single session — something localized devices can't replicate.

How It Works

Photobiomodulation works at the cellular level. Red and near-infrared light penetrate the skin and are absorbed by the mitochondria — the energy-producing structures within our cells — stimulating increased ATP (cellular energy) production. This cellular response is associated with:

The NEO Light Bed will be offered as a standalone service or as an add-on, with single sessions, 4-session packages, 8-session packages, & memberships. You Do NOT need to be a CORE member to use our wellness and recovery services, nor do you need to take any of our fitness classes to use these services.

To Request Priority Access:

Bookings will be handled online through our booking app PocketSuite on a 1st come 1st serve basis, clients will need to create an account to purchase and reserve any service at CORE Movement Studio. Walk In appointments are NOT available you must reserve online.

Zerobody Dryfloat

Weightless Recovery, No Water Required

Starpool Zerobody

Dryfloat

What It Is

Our Starpool Zerobody Dryfloat Bed delivers the deep, weightless relaxation of a traditional float tank — without ever touching water. You float on a soft, water-resistant membrane suspended over body-temperature water, so you get true zero-gravity relief without immersion, salt residue, or a required shower afterward. Dryfloat therapy is a modern variation of traditional float therapy, designed to give you the same deep relaxation and stress-relief benefits but without actually getting wet. In-stead of floating in water, you lie on a specialized, cushioned flotation bed or mattress that simulates the buoyant, weightless feeling of water.

  • Zero pressure support

  • Muscle relaxation

  • Joint decompression

  • Parasympathetic Activation

  • Cortisol reduction

  • Mind-body reset

  • Oxygen delivery

  • Lymphatic stimulation

  • Temperature regulation

How It Works

Floating removes gravitational load from your joints, muscles, and spine while minimizing external sensory input. This combination has been studied for its effect on the nervous system — specifically, shifting the body out of a stress ("fight or flight") state and into a parasympathetic, rest-and-recover state. Research on floatation-based rest points to benefits such as:

  • Reduced stress and cortisol levels

  • Relief from anxiety and racing thoughts

  • Eased chronic muscle tension and pain

  • Improved sleep quality

  • Faster recovery after intense training

  • Greater mental clarity and focus

Why Dry Float, Specifically

Because there's no water contact, Dryfloat is one of the most accessible recovery tools available — appropriate for a wider range of guests than a traditional wet float tank, including many people managing skin sensitivities, later-stage pregnancy (with provider approval), or claustrophobia concerns. No swimsuit, no shower, no salt in your hair; just float, breathe, and reset.

What to Expect

  • Session lengths: 20, 30, or 60 minutes

  • Sessions are completely private

  • Dress comfortable, no need to change or shower after

  • No prior float experience needed — first-timers are very welcome

“Even after my 1st float session, I felt a noticeable difference! I was more relaxed, my mind was calmer, and the tension I always seem to carry felt a bit lighter. I can’t wait for my next session”

– L. R.

Your Questions, Answered here:

  • The NEO Light Bed is a full-body light therapy system that surrounds you in targeted wavelengths of red and infrared light, plus a calming green-light or cleansing blue light mode. Unlike handheld devices or small panels, the full-body bed design means every part of you receives light exposure at once, rather than treating one area at a time.

  • Red and infrared light therapy is most commonly used to support muscle recovery, ease joint and muscle discomfort, improve circulation, and support skin health. Many clients also use it simply to relax — the green "Calm Mode" setting is designed specifically for stress relief and unwinding rather than active recovery.

  • The bed uses specific wavelengths of light that penetrate the skin at different depths, which the body's cells absorb and use to support natural repair and recovery processes. This is sometimes called photobiomodulation. No heat, needles, or chemicals are involved — you simply lie down, fully clothed or with as little clothing you are comfortable with, while the light does the work.

  • Yes. It's a non-invasive, drug-free therapy that's been studied extensively. That said, as with any wellness modality, we'll go over any contraindications with you before your first session (for example, certain medications or skin conditions may need a modified approach).

  • We recommend 8-minute treatments.

    You can do multiple sessions in a row but it is not recommended of the same sessions. Ex. one Restore, one Calm, not two Restore.

    More time does not imply more benefits, and studies have shown that too much exposure may result in diminishing returns.

    We recommend 1 application per day and 3-5 sessions per week, and at least one rest day.

  • Not at all. The NEO Light Bed is available as a standalone service — you're welcome to book it on its own, with no class attendance or private sessions required. CORE members receive a discounted rate, and separate stand-alone packages are also available if the Light Bed is all you're looking for.

  • Standalone single-session pricing and package options are available.

    Pricing is determined by session length. Each single color session is 10 minutes ( DUO sessions are 20 minutes).

    Single color session $40

    DUO color session $55

  • Like all of our services, the NEO Light Bed is by appointment only through PocketSuite — no walk-ins will be accepted. Click the BOOK now button on the page to be redirected.

  • Contraindications:

    • Pregnant women

    • customers with cardiac pacemakers

    • patients with malignant tumors.

    • Customers who are allergic to light therapy or who take photosensitizers (such as chlorpromazine).

    • Customers with active hemorrhage or shock, and internal organ damage.

    • Customers with high fever, active tuberculosis, vasculitis obliterans, etc.

    • Patients with severe heart and kidney disease, such as heart failure, myocarditis, uremia, etc.

    • Patients with skin diseases should use it under the guidance of a doctor.

    **Based on feedback from Clients, those on thyroid medication (levothyroxine/Synthroid) will likely need their meds to be adjusted as Red Light Therapy improves Thyroid function**

  • Yes, our NEO light bed is safe for ages 16 and up. If you are under 18 you must have a parent or guardian sign a consent form.

    *We kindly request ONLY guests with appointments be present during their light session – We do not allow friends or children of clients in the room during a light session. This policy helps ensure that all CORE Clients and Members enjoy a relaxing experience!

  • CANCELLATION POLICY: If you need to cancel or reschedule your NEO light bed session, we ask for a 12-hour advance notice for a full refund. Any appointments not canceled 12 hours in advance are charged a $25 fee (per person). This includes Memberships/Packages.

    LATE ARRIVAL/NO-SHOW POLICY: If you are more than 5 minutes late to your scheduled session, or a no-show, your session will be canceled, and you will be charged a $25 fee (per person). This includes Memberships/Packages.

  • The Starpool Dry Float Bed lets you experience the deep relaxation of flotation therapy without ever touching water. You lie on a soft membrane suspended over roughly 400 liters of warm water — the membrane conforms to your body, so you sink in and float, fully supported, while staying completely dry.

  • Traditional float tanks submerge you directly in water (often heavily salted to help you float), which means getting wet, showering before and after, and being in an enclosed pod. The dry float bed gives you the same floating, weightless sensation — no water contact, no salt, no swimsuit, no shower required afterward. It's also open rather than enclosed, which some clients find more comfortable than a closed pod.

    Traditional float tanks use Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) concentrations high enough that your body floats effortlessly on the surface, roughly double the salt density of the Dead Sea. The weightlessness is real and total. The sensory deprivation in an enclosed pod is also more complete than most dry floatation setups.

    For people who can tolerate the pod and the salt chemistry, the immersive experience is distinct.

    Dry floatation achieves gravitational unloading through mechanical distribution rather than buoyancy chemistry. The membrane spreads your weight across a much larger surface area than any mattress can, and the water heating beneath it provides the thermal neutrality that prevents temperature contrast from registering as sensation. The sensory reduction is real but depends more on room setup and is generally less absolute than a closed pod.

    From a practical standpoint: no pre-session shower, no post-session hair situation, no Epsom salt in open wounds or irritated skin, no claustrophobic pod. Sessions can be shorter. The equipment is simpler to maintain.

    And critically, populations that traditional protocols had to exclude, people with certain skin conditions, those in later pregnancy, people with sensory hypersensitivities, can access the therapy.

    Choosing between them isn’t really about which is “better.” It’s about which barriers apply to you.

  • Dry flotation is used to support deep relaxation, muscle and nervous system recovery, reduced stress, and improved sleep. Because the body is fully supported and weightless, it's also gentle on joints and the spine, making it a nice complement to all fitness and movement methods like Pilates and GYROTONIC®.

  • Both. Clients use it for pure stress relief and mental reset, as well as for physical recovery after intense training or as a complement to injury/pain-recovery work.

  • Sessions run for 20, 30 , or 60 minutes. Pick the session time that works best for you.

  • Not at all. The Dry Float Bed is available as a standalone service and doesn't require attending classes or private sessions. CORE members receive a discounted rate, and stand-alone packages are also available if you're booking the Dry Float Bed on its own.

  • Standalone single-session pricing starts as low as $40 per session. Non member Packages and Subscription membership options are available.

  • Like all of our services, the Starpool Zerobody Dryfloat is by appointment only through PocketSuite — no walk-ins will be accepted. Please click the BOOK now button on the page to be redirected.

  • Dry flotation is gentle and low-risk for most people, but we'll review any relevant health history with you beforehand : for example around pregnancy, certain cardiovascular conditions, or open wounds/skin conditions.

  • No preparation is required. Unlike traditional wet float tanks, there’s no pre-session or after session shower required, no swimwear needed, no Epsom salt to worry about. We do ask that you wear something lightweight and comfortable.

    If needed you are welcome to change into something more comfortable then your work wear prior to starting your session once inside the room.

    We do recommend taking off any bulky clothing such as sweaters, jackets, coats.
