WHAT IS FLOATING?

Floatation therapy is a natural and effective method for achieving deep physical and mental relaxation. In this safe and controlled environment, there are no distractions and nothing that needs your attention—it's quiet, dark, and you won't be disturbed for the duration of the session. By disconnecting from the constant stream of sensory inputs, your mind can truly rest, recharge, and gain a fresh sense of clarity and energy. Known also as R.E.S.T. (Restricted Environmental Stimulation Technique), floating holds significant promise for personal growth and healing.

Our float tanks contain 10 inches of water, heated to match your body's external temperature, making it almost imperceptible. With over 380 kg of high-quality Epsom salt dissolved in the water, you effortlessly float on the surface. As you float, your spine decompresses, heart rate and blood pressure decrease and cortisol (the stress hormone) levels drop. In this perfectly stable environment, your nervous system has the opportunity to fully relax. Natural endorphins are released, and your brain shifts to theta waves which are linked to deep relaxation and meditation. During a session, you typically feel weightless and serene, effortlessly floating without any physical exertion.

Benefits of Floating Regularly

For the Mind

​

  • Stress Reduction: By disconnecting from external stimuli, flotation therapy allows your mind to relax deeply, reducing stress levels and helping to combat anxiety.

  • Enhanced Mental Clarity: The sensory deprivation in the tank encourages a state of calm and focus, leading to improved mental clarity and sharper cognitive function.

  • Increased Creativity: The deeply relaxed state achieved during flotation therapy can enhance creative thinking and problem-solving abilities by allowing the mind to explore new ideas without distraction.

  • Improved Mood: Floating stimulates the release of endorphins, the body’s natural "feel-good" chemicals, which can improve mood and combat symptoms of depression.

  • Better Focus and Concentration: Regular sessions can help improve focus and concentration by reducing mental clutter and enhancing your ability to maintain attention.

  • Deep Meditation: The theta brainwaves associated with deep relaxation and meditation are naturally promoted during flotation therapy, making it easier to reach a meditative state.

  • Emotional Balance: The profound relaxation and sensory isolation in the float tank can help you process emotions more effectively, leading to greater emotional resilience and balance.

For the Body

​

  • Pain Relief: The buoyancy in the tank reduces pressure on joints and muscles, helping to relieve chronic pain, including conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, and lower back pain

  • Muscle Recovery: The high concentration of Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) helps to relax muscles, reduce inflammation, and speed up recovery after intense physical activity.

  • Improved Circulation: Floating encourages better blood flow by reducing the strain on the circulatory system, which can enhance nutrient and oxygen delivery throughout the body.

  • Lowered Blood Pressure and Heart Rate: The deep relaxation achieved during flotation therapy naturally lowers heart rate and blood pressure, contributing to overall cardiovascular health.

  • Detoxification: The magnesium in Epsom salt can support the body's detoxification processes by aiding in the removal of toxins through the skin.

  • Enhanced Sleep: Regular flotation sessions can improve sleep quality by reducing stress and promoting deep relaxation, leading to a more restful and restorative night's sleep.

  • Spinal Alignment: The lack of gravity and muscle tension in the float tank can help decompress the spine, which may improve posture and reduce back pain over time.
