Floatation Therapy
In today’s society, we experience an unprecedented level of interaction with the world around us.
Multi-tasking is the norm, constantly bombarded with stimuli, never allowing our minds to switch off and regroup or to mentally catch our breath.
Imagine floating in a shallow pool of water in true sensory isolation, complete silence where your brain can relax and meditate – even achieving the elusive theta state.
From head to toe, your body will be completely rested and at ease.

PAIN MANAGEMENT
FLOATING FOR PAIN MANAGEMENT
For pain management, floating offers researched benefits for those suffering a variety of pain conditions:
These claims are supported by research done by Thomas H. Fine, associate professor in the Department of Psychiatry of the Medical College of Ohio, and Roderick A Borrie, Ph.D., clinical psychologist at South Oaks Hospital, Amityville, New York. They found that:
REST: (Restricted Environmental Stimulation Technique)
“Flotation REST can have an important role at several stages of the pain management process. By reducing both muscle tension and pain in a relatively short time and without effort on the part of the patient, flotation provides a dramatic demonstration of the benefits of relaxation. Relief is immediate and, although temporary, offers promise of further relief from REST and other relaxation-based strategies. Symptom reduction gained from flotation can increase a patient’s motivation and interest in the remainder of the therapy plan. Pain patients generally come into treatment feeling suspicious and skeptical, requiring a clear demonstration that they can be helped.”
Fibromyalgia, back Pain, arthritis, sports injuries, and pregnancy discomforts. Improves chronic pain conditions by creating an ideal environment for pain relief with weightlessness and lack of effort. Floating provides natural traction for a wide range of spine-related injuries.
Those suffering with Fibromyalgia will know there are very few remedies, research has shown that Fibromyalgia patients found a significant decrease in pain both from the beginning to the end of a float and in-between float session to float session.

FOR ATHLETES
FLOATING FOR ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE
Cross-Fit, Running, Cycling, a budding Olympian, or the Gym is your thing? Whatever your sport, floating is your remedy to heal and prevent injury, improve performance and reduce training fatigue. Just look at the numerous top tier athletes and major league sports teams that have turned to floating.Freedom from gravity creates an ideal environment for healing, and the 1,600 pounds of Epsom salt doesn’t hurt either. The spine and joints decompress, and tight muscles relax. Circulation improves, while cortisol and lactic acid levels drop. The deep relaxation found in the float tank enhances visualization and improves sleep. These are the many reasons why many professional athletes and teams have made floatation therapy a regular part of their training.
FLOATING MENTAL HEALTH
During a float, you produce slower brain-wave patterns, known as theta waves that are normally experienced only during the deepest meditation or briefly before falling asleep. Floating is used widely in the treatment of stress, anxiety, depression and fatigue.
- PTSD
- Autism
- Anxiety
- Depression
Perhaps, the most well documented benefit of floating is the tendency for those who choose to use this tool regularly to adopt a long term positive outlook on life. As we all know depression and anxiety can be rooted in many causes.
