Float Therapy
What is Float Therapy?
What is a float tank/ sensory deprivation tank?
Imagine the feeling of being suspended in space. That’s the feeling you get floating in 900 pounds of dissolved epsom salt. More than simple relaxation, epsom salt or magnesium sulfate, is a mineral that nearly everyone is deficient in. During float therapy your body absorbs these minerals and your body’s magnesium levels increase. This helps to calm your nervous system and enhance your body’s natural ability to heal. The deep relaxation state you enter when floating helps to reduce stress by lowering cortisol levels. Blood flow is stimulated and endorphins are released.
Endorphins are chemicals in the brain that reduce feelings of pain and trigger positive feelings. Studies have shown that floatation therapy can even help with depression. The endorphins released during a float last beyond the float session itself.
The extreme buoyancy that individuals experience when floating is essentially like experiencing anti-gravity. This allows those with joint or muscle pain much needed relief that they cannot get otherwise.
Float your way to less stress, anxiety, depression, and pain. It might sound too good to be true, but science says it’s possible.
Water Quality
Our water is filtered after every float and continuously when not in use. Our water is sanitized by ultraviolet light (UV) and ozone daily. Salt is a natural antibiotic, antiseptic, and antimicrobial agent. Our salt concentration is 10 times greater than that of the Dead Sea (They call it the Dead Sea because nothing can live in it). If all these steps aren't enough, we also use hydrogen peroxide to sanitize. We guarantee that our water is absolutely pristine!

Benefits
Relaxation
Float therapy can bring about a deep state of relaxation. This allows the body to maintain its internal homeostasis. When allowed to operate freely, the body is highly effective at maintaining its own well-being. However, stress causes harm to our bodies by disrupting our natural biochemistry.
When we are stressed our bodies produce harmful chemicals, such as cortisol and adrenaline. Float Therapy is very effective at lowering these stress hormones, in particular cortisol, which causes anxiety and suppresses the immune system. It also triggers endorphin release in the brain, replacing stress with a sense of well-being that often borders on euphoria.
This sense of euphoria has been shown to treat depression and anxiety almost as well as counseling. When combined with counseling the results can be highly beneficial.
Pain Relief/Physical Healing:
Float Therapy oxygenates your body by promoting vasodilation, better blood flow to the brain, organs, and limbs, and it serves to minimize muscular pain. Floating takes the pressure off of tired and sore joints and muscles, which allows them to relax. Relaxed muscles heal faster than tired, tight, and knotted ones.
Self Awareness/Self Improvement:
The float tank/ sensory deprivation tank allows for positive self-motivation by eliminating external stimuli, which allows the user a more concentrated and focused view of oneself. Float therapy allows for deep relaxation and focused attention, which are the two most important elements for motivating oneself to accomplish specific goals and reduce stressful behavior.
