Travelers come to Redding to reconnect with nature, find some adventure and recharge.
Sure, exercise and sunshine can promote wellness, but Redding, California’s sunniest city located just below the Oregon border, also provides some extra ways to recharge with innovative and affordable treatments. Think salt, oxygen and gravity:
- SALT: At Capturing the Essence Salt Cave, opened in 2020, the signature Salt & Sound experience combines the benefits of salt therapy with the transformative power of sound healing. A room with more than 4,000 pounds of Himalayan salt is designed to enhance mental clarity and emotional stability. Crystals emit a natural 8 Hz frequency that can stimulate serotonin production and reduce stress hormones.
- OXYGEN: Redding’s new Intentional Wellness Center brings medical expertise and innovative treatments that utilize one’s own biological materials to enhance healing, optimize function and help achieve peak wellness goals. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy offers a cutting-edge treatment in a pressurized environment, allowing more oxygen to enter the bloodstream than under normal atmospheric pressure.
- GRAVITY: LIT From Within uses an innovative anti-gravity chair with pulsed pressure waves to promote deep relaxation and healing. Guests are immersed in a multi-sensory experience that delivers kinetic energy into the body to calm the sympathetic nervous system while promoting optimal circulation of blood, lymphatic fluid and cerebral spinal fluid.
Yogis also flock to Redding during the summer equinox for sunrise yoga on the Sundial Bridge, a pedestrian-only walkway that stretches across the Sacramento River. This architectural marvel was designed by Santiago Calatrava and is a real working sundial, which makes it an idyllic backdrop for a summer solstice yoga gathering.
These are just a few options that await in Redding. Learn more about all of the innovative and offbeat wellness opportunities that await travelers.
