Welcome to Float Tank Therapy

What is Float Tank Therapy?

Float Tank Therapy, also known as sensory deprivation therapy, involves floating in a specialized tank filled with water and Epsom salts. This creates a zero-gravity environment that isolates you from external stimuli, allowing your mind and body to relax deeply. The buoyancy provided by the saltwater supports your body effortlessly, relieving pressure on muscles and joints, while the isolation promotes profound mental relaxation.

What to Expect During a Session

Initial Consultation: Your session begins with a brief consultation to understand your health history and specific wellness goals. This ensures the therapy is tailored to your needs.

Preparation: You’ll be shown to a private room with a float tank. After showering to remove oils and dirt from your skin, you enter the tank. You can float nude or in a swimsuit, based on your comfort level.

Therapy Session: As you lie back in the water, you will feel an immediate sense of weightlessness. The water is heated to skin temperature, making it difficult to distinguish between your body and the water. You can choose to float in complete darkness and silence or with soft music and dim lighting.

Duration: A typical float session lasts between 60 to 90 minutes, allowing ample time for your body and mind to unwind.

What to Expect After a Session

Immediate Effects: Post-session, you may feel a deep sense of relaxation and mental clarity. Many clients report relief from muscle tension and joint pain.

Short-term Benefits: In the days following your float, you might notice improved sleep, reduced stress, and enhanced mood.

Long-term Benefits: With regular sessions, clients often experience sustained reductions in anxiety, chronic pain, and stress, along with improved mental focus and overall well-being.

Benefits of Float Tank Therapy

Stress Reduction: The sensory deprivation environment significantly reduces stress levels and promotes relaxation.

Pain Relief: The zero-gravity experience relieves pressure on joints and muscles, aiding in pain management for conditions like arthritis and fibromyalgia.

Enhanced Mental Clarity: The lack of external stimuli allows your mind to reach a meditative state, improving focus and mental clarity.

Improved Sleep: Regular floating can enhance sleep quality and help combat insomnia.

Accelerated Healing: Deep relaxation promotes recovery from physical exertion and injury.

Transdermal Magnesium Absorption: The Epsom salts in the water facilitate the absorption of magnesium through the skin, which can reduce inflammation, improve muscle and nerve function, and support overall health.

Improved Neuroplasticity: Floating promotes the alpha/theta brainwave crossover, which enhances neuroplasticity, improving learning, memory, and cognitive flexibility.
