WHAT IS

FLOATATION THERAPY

When you step into your personal flotation pod, you'll feel weightless. The water, saturated with over 1000 pounds of Epsom salt, fully supports you as you lie on your back. Maintained at skin temperature (~93.5 degrees), the water makes it hard to distinguish where your body ends and the water begins. With your ears just below the water (protected by waterproof earplugs) and the rooms insulated against sound, outside noise is completely blocked out.

Once you close the lid, you simply float. Within 5-10 minutes, the lights and music fade, gently transitioning you into the rest of your experience. For an hour or more, the outside world disappears, allowing amazing things to happen. Without the constant pull of gravity or the influx of information, your body has extra resources to spare. Your mind unwinds and flows freely, your brain releases dopamine and endorphins, and your body gets to rest, de-stress, and heal.

BENEFITS

  • Stiff postures and chronic muscular tension from daily life can lead to ailments such as lower back pain, neck pain, shallow breathing, and high blood pressure. The anti-gravity environment of a float tank alleviates the pressure associated with chronic pain. Float therapy has been documented to provide relief for conditions such as fibromyalgia, arthritis, back pain, neck pain, tendinitis, bursitis, inflammation, and psychosomatic pain.

  • All athletes understand the relief Epsom salt provides for sore muscles. Think of floating as an enhanced Epsom salt bath! Not only does it help detoxify excess lactic acid from your muscles, but the zero-gravity environment also offers your body the relaxation it needs to quickly return to training.

  • Floating helps the mind quickly reach a theta state, which is known for fostering creativity and inspiration. In this mental state, you can operate below the level of the conscious mind, enabling you to generate ideas without hesitation. This enhanced mental clarity can lead to breakthrough moments and innovative solutions, making floating an excellent tool for creative professionals and problem-solvers alike.

  • Floating suppresses the activity of the sympathetic nervous system, which triggers our fight or flight response. Instead, it activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation, healing, replenishment, and recovery. The physical benefits of this relaxation response include reduced muscle tension, lower blood pressure, decreased stress hormone levels, and increased production of endorphins.

  • By reducing exposure to light, sound, and touch, you can delve into a deeply introspective experience. In this serene environment free from distractions, you'll gain clarity on which aspects of your life require more attention and focus. You'll also identify elements that no longer contribute positively to your well-being. Most importantly, you'll discern the purpose or goals that resonate most strongly with you, allowing for profound self-discovery and personal growth.

  • Floating reduces stress by creating an environment that decreases stress hormones. This helps strengthen the immune system and promotes deep relaxation.

 

 KNOW BEFORE YOU FLOAT

  • Arrive 10-15 minutes before your scheduled float to complete necessary paperwork and to also receive a quick tour of our float spa.

  • Freshly colored hair: Wait two weeks before floating.

  • Spray/Faux Tanning: Wait 5 days before you float.

  • It is always best if caffeine is avoided before your float.

  • You may experience a certain level of discomfort while floating if you shave or wax the same day before your appointment.

  • Hydrate and be sure to eat a light meal 2 hours prior to your float.

  • Keep a contact lens case and solution with you if needed.

  • A swimsuit is not necessary - you will always have privacy at our spa.

  • Hygiene is of the utmost importance to us, that’s why our float spa is drained and disinfected after each use. The saline solution is filtered through an extensive system to ensure all impurities are removed while any residue left behind on the interior float spa walls is wiped down and sanitized. All towels, robes, amenities are replenished after each use to ensure proper cleanliness and a safe environment for each guest.

 WHAT WE PROVIDE

 ADVICE FOR A BETTER FLOAT

  • Having an extra hot shower before your float may cause you to feel cool when first laying in skin temperature solution. We suggest that by keeping the temperature on a comfortably warm setting will help you ease into your floaty bliss without a stark disturbance in temperature change (the water is kept at 95 degrees Fahrenheit in the float spa).

  • Try various positions with your arms to alleviate any discomfort with your neck. A massage before your float might just be what you need if you experience any muscular tension/pain.

  • Steady yourself and allow yourself to drift during your float-try to not push off the walls with too much force.

  • Progressive relaxation is a technique used by many who float. Imagine each muscle and joint starting with your feet. Mentally release tension from each muscle, working your way up the body while taking full, deep breaths into your lungs and belly.

  • Expect nothing and just let everything go.
