Floatation Therapy

Experience the ultimate relaxation with Float Therapy!

Our state-of-the-art float pods offer a tranquil escape from the outside world, allowing you to float effortlessly in a calming environment free from light and sound. Each pod if filled with twelve inches of water infused with 550kg of Epsom Salts (Magnesium Sulphate), creating an incredibly buoyant solution that lifts you into a sensation of weightlessness. The water is heated to skin temperature, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the experience as the feeling of water fades away.

In this serene space, you can let go of daily stresses and allow your body to unwind completely. With ear plugs in and the interior light turned off, you’ll find the quiet and darkness perfect for drifting into a deep state of relaxation. A huge amount of brain power is used every second in order to deal with the strain that gravity places on one’s body but now floating weightlessly your body is perfectly supported by a cushion of silky body-temperature liquid.

Freed from all sensation of gravity, temperature, touch, sight and sound (together account for 90% of normal neuromuscular activity), you conserve and redirect vast amounts of natural physical and mental energy. The ultra-deep relaxation of floating “resets” the body’s hormonal and metabolic balance, strengthening resistance to and accelerating recovery from the effects of stress, illness, injury or strenuous exercise. With no commands needing to be sent out, the logical side of the brain is rendered redundant, and its activity slows down until it synchronises with the creative side. This leaves the individual in a dream-like state, akin to the thoughts experienced just before you go to sleep.

In this state, the brain releases vast amounts of endorphins. While the state of relaxation may be deep and profound, the individual’s brain stays dreamily alert. The brain gradually shifts from its usual waking beta state to generate deep alpha, theta or even delta waves, the state-of-mind that Buddhist monks try to reach through hours of meditation and years of training. You can achieve this in a matter of minutes just by lying back into the silky warm sea of bliss that is the floatation experience!

What’s truly impressive about float therapy is that almost every one of those benefits can last for several days past the float itself.

The longer and the more often the float pod is used the stronger the effects become, the longer they last, and the better off someone is when they come in to float again. This creates a positive spiral of recovery and health that simply works to reinforce itself, giving people a path and a means towards a better life.

Researchers and float tank users report many different beneficial effects from floating, from general well-being through to mental and physical benefits.

FLOATING takes a deep dive into the healing powers of Floatation-REST (Reduced Environmental Stimulation Therapy), an emerging new technology that can powerfully counter the deleterious effects of stress in modern life. In today’s society, the human nervous system lives in a world of near-constant stimulation, leaving the brain and body with no opportunity to relax and disconnect. As a result, chronic physical and mental health conditions have become ubiquitous, with over a quarter of the population suffering from pain, anxiety, depression, burnout and other ailments exacerbated by stress. This documentary tells uplifting stories of ordinary people reducing their stress, easing their pain, and performing at their highest level through Floatation Therapy using specially designed Isolation Tanks and pools.
