Floating
Float Spa is proud to present a scientifically proven, time-efficient method of unwinding and regenerating from the daily grind.
Floating is a means of intense relaxation, based on the perfect state experienced while inside the womb. The beneficial effects of floating mimic those found in nature: the Dead Sea in Jordan, known for its high salt concentration, attracts thousands of visitors each year to relax and treat various medical conditions by immersing themselves in the water. A float tank combines this natural healing phenomenon with modern technology, making it accessible in an urban environment.

Flotation Explained
Floatation therapy is a powerful stress relief and wellness tool, offering multitude of physical and mental benefits. During a floatation session, the client rests within a sensory-controlled environment, floating on the surface of a super-saturated salt water solution. This experience is deeply relaxing and rejuvenating for the body and mind. It reduces harmful stress hormones, alleviates pain and tension, and stimulates the release of beneficial endorphins within the brain.

It reduces harmful stress hormones, alleviates pain and tension, and stimulates the release of beneficial endorphins within the brain.
When all external stimuli are removed, the human brain goes into what is called the “Alpha” or “Theta” brainwave state. This is the state which directly precedes sleep, and is similar to the state induced by relaxation training, hypnosis, meditation, yoga and massage, both from a psychological and physical perspective.
One primary result of floating, is allowing the client a short amount of time to be free from the effects of gravity. Muscles and joints are relieved of their load, enabling them to relax completely. While floating, the body is in a state of weightlessness, due to the water’s high salt concentration, which allows the client to float effortlessly on the surface of the water. The tank also blocks all noise and light, thereby creating an atmosphere free of any distractions, resulting in complete physical and mental unwinding. The fewer distractions there are, the more intense the regenerative effect on the body. This weightless, stimulus-free environment frees the brain from the constant task of orienting the body in space (proprioception) and processing sensory input. By creating a kind of neurological gap, the brain and nervous system are automatically redirected to the task of deep relaxation and restoring balance (homeostasis) in the mindbody.
Benefits of Floating
University research has confirmed the anecdotal experiences of people taking part in floatation: dramatic reduction in circulating stress hormones; downshifting of the mind from normal waking consciousness (beta state) or hyperactive consciousness (gamma state) to a more serene and meditative state of conscious (alpha or theta state); holistic balancing of the body and mind; as well as noticeable physical benefits to nearly every organ of the body. However, individual results may vary.
A single floatation session yields immediate benefits. The detrimental effects of stress on the body are dissipated: tense muscles relax, and the mind is able to let go and relax into a state of deep calm. These effects can last for days or weeks, and successive floatation sessions have cumulative effects.
Target Audience
Floating is recommended for: businesspeople, students, tired employees, athletes, and people affected by skeletal and joint conditions, respiratory symptoms, or those just simply wishing to unwind.
