Welcome to Ultrafloat, where relaxation meets restoration.

I’m Dr. Ryno Tope, and for over a decade, I’ve been dedicated to helping the Hawke’s Bay community thrive through my work as a Chiropractor at Structural Chiropractic.

My passion for holistic well-being and my deep understanding of how stress impacts the body and mind led me to expand our approach to healing by introducing Ultrafloat—a natural extension of the care we provide at Structural Chiropractic.

Life’s demands can take a toll on all of us. Prolonged stress affects not just our physical health, but also our mental and emotional well-being, leading to tension, fatigue, and reduced vitality. While chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper structure and function to the body, float therapy complements this by helping to reset the nervous system, promote deep relaxation, and accelerate recovery.

We believe in the power of proactive self-care—not just as a luxury, but as an essential tool for enhancing resilience, reducing stress, and optimising your health. Whether you’re a chiropractic patient looking to support your adjustments, an athlete recovering from training, or simply someone seeking a mental and physical reset, Ultrafloat is here to help you recharge and restore balance.

Floating offers a unique opportunity to step away from the noise of daily life and reconnect with yourself. By immersing in a tranquil, weightless environment infused with therapeutic Epsom salts, you can experience:

✨ Deep relaxation for your body and mind

✨ Enhanced recovery and reduced muscle tension

✨ Improved focus and mental clarity

✨ Benefits similar to meditation, helping to reduce anxiety and promote inner calm

Whether you’re seeking relief from physical discomfort, mental stress, or simply looking for a way to unwind, Ultrafloat is here to support your journey to wellness.

We’re excited to bring this transformative experience to our location in Hastings.

Let’s float, relax, and rejuvenate together.
