ABOUT
Float Therapy - Reduced Environmental Stimulation Therapy
​
Floatation therapy is also known as Reduced Environmental Stimulation Therapy (REST). The environment provided by a float pod triggers your body’s natural relaxation response quickly yet gently. Our rooms are dark, soundproof, and warm. The water temperature is set to your body’s skin temperature (around 93.5 degrees f), so you won’t even feel the water. Our 6’ x 8’ float cabins are filled with 1250 pounds of healing Epsom salt which allows your body to float in 10 inches of water and mimics the buoyancy of the Dead Sea.
This unique environment creates a weightless experience resulting in a host of physical and mental health benefits. You do not need to meditate or know how to meditate to have a beneficial experience – the combination of darkness, warmth, weightlessness, and silence creates the perfect habitat for healing and relaxation.
While you’re floating, the water and the room do all of the work for you. All you need to do is show up, undress in your private room and enter the float pool.
Sensory deprivation tank
​
A sensory deprivation tank, also known as an isolation tank or floatation tank, is a lightless, soundproof tank filled with saltwater at skin temperature. It is designed to reduce sensory input and create a state of deep relaxation.
Benefits of float therapy
​
-
Quicker Athletic Recovery: Not just for athletes, but anyone involved in strenuous activity. Frequent visitors find using our float tank helps alleviates muscle soreness, promotes healing, relieves muscle and joint pain, alleviates spinal tension and back pain, and relaxes muscles.
​
-
Improved Overall Health and Wellness: Taking care of your body often requires energy and effort. Visits to our sensory deprivation tank helps promote relaxation, improves a sense of well-being, enhances creativity, restores mental and physical balance, and alleviates symptoms of anxiety with minimal effort.
-
Relaxation: A commitment to long-term stress reduction is known to improve sleep, encourage a sense of well being, remove external negative stimuli, and provide a meditative state by helping the brain to produce “theta waves.” When you float in a dark room, it does something calming for the mind. Time seems to stand still while you relax. You are warm, comfortable, and have no problem kicking back because the Epsom salts make it easy to float.
-
Injuries and Healing: Using our sensory deprivation tank helps customers to improve the rate at which their body's heal. The floating sensation gives into calmness allowing the body to let tight muscles relax around injury points. People with chronic pain from spinal issues, accidents, and arthritis find that the floating helps relieve pressure in these painful areas. An increase in endorphins and other brain chemicals helps the feel-good sensation last for hours after each floatation therapy session.

-
Reduced Blood Pressure: The relaxation induced by float therapy can lead to a decrease in blood pressure. When the body is in a state of deep relaxation, the heart rate slows down, and blood vessels dilate, allowing blood to flow more freely and reducing strain on the cardiovascular system.
​​
-
Improved Circulation: Floating in a buoyant solution of Epsom salt promotes vasodilation, which enhances blood circulation throughout the body. This increased circulation can help deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues more effectively while aiding in the removal of metabolic waste products.

-
Stress Reduction: Float therapy is renowned for its ability to reduce stress and promote relaxation. Chronic stress can contribute to cardiovascular problems such as hypertension and heart disease. By alleviating stress, float therapy indirectly supports cardiovascular health.

-
Enhanced Heart Rate Variability (HRV): HRV is a measure of the variation in time intervals between consecutive heartbeats, which reflects the adaptability of the autonomic nervous system. Higher HRV is associated with better cardiovascular health. Float therapy has been shown to increase HRV, indicating a positive effect on autonomic nervous system function.

-
Decreased Risk of Heart Disease: By promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and improving circulation, float therapy may contribute to a decreased risk of heart disease over time. Consistent relaxation practices have been linked to better heart health and a lower incidence of cardiovascular problems.
Salt deficiency? || Float Therapy
Magnesium is a mineral that nearly many people are deficient in. Magnesium can be taken through supplements, but not everyone can digest it easily. So floating is the best way to easily absorb magnesium, which immediately relaxes muscles and calms nerves.
While floating in the tank, the extremely high concentration of magnesium present in the water is absorbed through the skin pores and can supplement your diet for the important mineral Magnesium. Floating in the float tank allows the skin to perspire, releases toxins through the open pores and absorbs magnesium through the same pores.
Floating is the most efficient way our body absorbs magnesium transcendental through the skin that can help to balance the body’s natural minerals. Restore and replenish your magnesium levels by effortless floating.
