The Element Theory Difference
We are a place to get back to the basics of health. Each modality is in a specific order to best ensure optimum healing. The best way to experience The Element Theory is by doing the Full Five. During the Full Five, you can experience all five elements, therefore doing all five modalities that are offered.
Hi We Are Wendy and Katie the Co-owners of The Element Theory.
We believe that the body can naturally heal itself when given the right tools to jump start the process. We wanted to bring a new health option to the McAlester community. Together, we had the idea of coupling up the five different elements with different holistic treatment modalities. We did the research and found the perfect way to stack the five different modalities, one feeding into the other, building on health and healing. First we started with the element metal which coupled up with the VIBE bed, which is a frequency, vibrational, and sound therapy mat. Next is the water element, which is coupled up with the eCabin Cryochamber. Wood is the next element and that element is coupled with the infrared sauna. Red light therapy is coupled with the fire element. Lastly the element of Earth is coupled with halotherapy, which is the salt cave and salt tent. There are so many benefits to each of these holistic treatment modalities, that it’s hard to list them all. They not only help with pain and inflammation for athletes and sports recovery but they can also help with a list of other chronic health issues. We wanted to create a one stop shop for holistic health and that is how we created The Element Theory in hopes that people would turn to more eastern medicine and holistic ideas on healing. Now instead of going to different wellness shops or medical spas to get all these different modalities, they can get them all under one roof.
“Awesome spot in town! The salt cave and tent helped with my allergies and the red light pod helped my knee pain. Highly recommend!”

Welcome to The Element Theory, the top medical spa McAlester OK has to offer! A place to reconnect with your 5 innate elements, which include, water, wood, fire, earth, and metal. Based on a 6,000-year-old theory, these 5 elements, when balanced, can prevent illness and improve health. We incorporate different holistic treatment modalities based on each element.
For the METAL element we have vibrational/sound/frequency therapy on the VIBE bed. The main reasons people come in for the metal room are muscle relaxation, anxiety, depression, and upper/lower extremity healing.
For the WATER element we have cryotherapy in the eCabin cryo chamber. The main reasons people come in for the water room are sports and workout recovery, injuries, headaches/migraines, and aches/pains/inflammation.
For the WOOD element we have infrared sauna therapy in our infrared sauna. The main reasons people come in for infrared sauna therapy are when people are feeling sick, muscle recovery, using it to naturally warm up after their cryotherapy session, and to detoxify from their built up toxins.
For the FIRE element we have red light therapy in our prism red light pod. The main reasons people use the fire room are skin/hair issues, arthritis, autoimmune diseases, injury healing, and overall wellness.
The EARTH element we have halotherapy in our salt cave and salt tent.
The main reasons people use the earth room are for sinuses, allergies, and lung issues. You can experience the Full Five which includes all 5 elements all within 1 hour and 30 minutes. During the Full Five you go from room to room in a very specific way of biostacking that can lead to biohacking the body and creates the ultimate healing process for your body. Whatever you are fighting off or trying to heal from, there’s a holistic treatment modality for you here at our medical spa McAlester OK. Whether you want to grow your thinning hair while using the red light therapy pod or you want to get all the mucus loose so that you can breathe through out nose again in the salt cave. There is something for everyone at The Element Theory. The only room not suitable for kids is the water room. The height in the cryo chamber only goes down to five foot two inches. The other rooms can be modified to treat any age.
The rooms are designed in such a way that reflect the generating cycle of the element theory of the five elements. Metal collects water, water nourishes wood, wood feeds fire, fire produces earth, and Earth bears metal. So our clients start in the metal room and make their way through until they end in the Earth room. According to TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) each element is directly linked to certain organs and tissues. Metal helps the lungs, large intestines, nose (smell), and skin/hair. Water helps with the kidneys, urinary bladder, ear (hearing), and bones. Wood helps with the liver, gallbladder, eyes (sight), and tendons. Fire helps with the heart, small intestines, tongue (taste), and blood vessels. Earth helps with the spleen, stomach, mouth (touch), and muscles.
Something else that you learn when you choose us as your medical spa McAlester OK experience is that each element is connected with a certain emotion. Metal helps with grief. Water helps with fear. Wood helps with anger. Fire helps with joy. Earth helps with overthinking. All of the elements are linked to a certain time of the year or season. Autumn is metal, winter is water, spring is wood, summer is fire, and earth is late summer. Some other interesting facts about the five elements according to TCM is they each have a color and a taste associated with them. We try to incorporate these differences in each of our element rooms that best reflect that element. Metal is the color of white and is a spicy taste. Water is the color of black and is a salty taste. Wood is the color of green and is a sour taste. Fire is the color of red and is a bitter taste. Earth is the color of yellow and is a sweet taste. Each room feeds into the other room in a specific order according to how it affects the body. The five elements support each other in different ways but the generating cycle is the best because it promotes the next element giving the client the best way to heal from the inside out.
When people come into The Element Theory, we know that most have not tried many of the modalities we offer as the primary medical spa McAlester OK has, if any of them, which is why we are open to answering any questions you might have. If we don’t know an answer about the different holistic treatment modality or element we will do our research and let you know. Some frequently asked questions we get are as follows. What are your hours? We are open from 8 am until 5 pm Monday through Friday. We prefer by appointment only, but occasionally we accept walk-ins if the element rooms are available. You can give us a text or call at 918-916-3062 and we can get you booked for an individual element or the full five.
What is the full five? The full five is truly the only way to experience our medical spa McAlester OK service. It is a way to experience all the elements the way they were designed to be used, in unison. The full five experience takes about an hour and 30 minutes, depending on if you choose to do the salt cave or salt tent. The salt cave takes 25 minutes whereas the salt tent only takes 10 minutes since it’s a much smaller space. The full five has to be used all together in one session. It is one-hundred dollars and is the best way to experience The Element Theory. It gives the client the chance to experience every single holistic treatment modality that we offer. ThisMeway the client knows which element room works best for them. Typically when people do the full five, they know which one is their favorite and which ones they want to do in the future, usually weekly.
How often can you use each modality? Each element room with the coupled holistic treatment modality can be used daily. The more a client uses the red light therapy pod, the more the body gets acclimated to its process, having a greater effect on the body. By using the cryo chamber eCabin in the water room more often, the client will be able to handle the more intense settings. What setting should I do in the water room if I have never done cryotherapy before? We recommend just using the mild setting in the eCabin if you have never done a cryo chamber before. The fan speeds are not as fast and the client only has to drop to a 51.8 in order to get a check. The more checkmarks you get in the eCabin, the faster you can get out of the cold.
As shown, if you’re looking for the best medical spa McAlester OK has to offer then you need to come to The Element Theory right away!
