THE SALT ROOM

Anyone with serious health concerns needs to seek proper medical advice and care.

Each session starts promptly at your appointment time & lasts for 45 minutes.  Clients should come 10 - 15 minutes early to check in and register. There is no late admittance to the salt room once a group session has started. You will be required to stay in the salt room for the full session, opening the door can disrupt and minimize the salty air benefits. 

Loose, comfortable, light-colored clothing (salt shows on darker clothes) that you can relax in works best. If you are using dry salt therapy for a skin condition, you’ll want to have that area exposed. Please keep in mind the Salt Room is kept cool, so dress accordingly.

Based on your condition and symptoms, this can vary. For best results, Island Massage & Spa recommends a series of treatments. Some individuals prefer to use dry salt therapy as a continuous preventative measure. 

There are no potentially harmful side effects of dry salt therapy. The treatment is completely natural. A slight cough or a runny nose is possible, but this is simply the salt working to remove mucus and toxins from the lungs and airways.

Phone’s are not recommended in the salt room. The salt can be damaging to electronics. We will provide a cubby for you to store your phone and other personal belongs. If you wish to take the risk, we do require it to be silenced as to not disturb other guests. 

No.  This is not permitted but after your session we do have water available after your session.

Once the session has started, the cave becomes a quiet zone with no talking. If your group has reserved the entire salt cave for themselves as a private session, you may talk as much as you like!

We can accommodate up to 6 people in zero gravity chairs.
