About City Cave Balmain
City Cave Balmain is a franchise on Reynolds Street (entry off the Hyam Street roundabout), offering float therapy, infrared sauna, massage and red light therapy, plus an ice shower. It's run by Fiona and Duncan Harcourt, who the site says left corporate careers to open the studio for locals it describes as choosing recovery and nervous-system-focused wellbeing over traditional status symbols.
Float therapy is floating in body-temperature, Epsom-salt water; infrared sauna uses radiant heat directed at the body rather than warming the surrounding air. The studio is open seven days, 9am to 9pm, with street parking available around Reynolds Street and Punch Park.
Services & Modalities
Red light therapy is sitting or lying close to LED panels that emit red and near-infrared light, usually around 660 and 850 nm, in short repeated sessions.
Float therapy is lying back in a tank or pod of body-temperature water saturated with Epsom salt, so you float effortlessly with little light or sound.
An infrared sauna uses infrared heaters to warm your body directly, at lower air temperatures than a traditional sauna.
Ice baths and contrast therapy mean immersing the body in cold water, and sometimes alternating with heat, for short timed periods.
