Floatation therapy’s purpose is to, for a limited time, free us from the sometimes overwhelming everyday stress our minds and bodies endure as a result of the immense and never ending flood of sensory input that’s difficult for our beings to process at the rate we take it all in.

 Simply put it’s a form of therapy where you lie back in a body of water, working toward total sensory shut down so as to allow the body and mind reach a new level of calm and tranquility - for many, something previously unimaginable. Everything about flotation therapy is safely and scientifically pre-determined to ensure the upmost benefit, from the temperature of the water, the particular Epsom salts used, the amount of salts - which should be the perfect ration that allows you float effortlessly and the level of light and quiet created in the space. The level of relaxation allows you reach a state of - for some - euphoric repose in the precisely-manufactured weightless environment. 

Each floatation business is different in terms of the set up but I would absolutely recommend going to one where the tank is for one person - who wants to be floating with strangers.. amirite? So seek out somewhere that has the specially designed solo pods. The best ones will have a specified radio of a 10” salt-water solution. 

Benefits in regular sessions of the on-trend treatment creates an incredible array of rewards in both body and mind. Regular gym goers or professional athletes can expect an improvement in athletic performance as the recovery time between concentrated workouts is reduced, while relieving pain, improving blood circulation, reducing blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen consumption. And while we all love to do anything that makes us feel better physically and perform at any better rate, not all of us are professional athletes. ON a mental level it allows the brain shift into lower more relaxed frequencies which as a result has exceptional knock-on effects on general well-being. Regular users of flotation see a boost in overall mood, better sleep, the reduction of depressive states, anxiety and fear alongside growth in creativity and focus.
