A scientifically proven form of relaxation in which you float on a bed of water saturated with Epsom salts. Within few minutes of floatation, your entire body relaxes as you feel weightless, your mind and body are freed from all sensations off gravity, temperature, touch, sight and sound.(which together count for 90% of normal neuro-muscular activity).
You conserve and redirect vast amount of natural physical and mental energy. |
The Floatation tank and how it works
| |
Once settled in the floatation environment, the individual quickly adapts to the gravity-free conditions. The solution itself is heated to skin temperature, so the brain cannot differentiate between the parts of the body that are below the surface, and those that are not. Essentially, the individuals body "dissolves" into the water.
The buoyancy of the solutions is achieved with the addition of 700lbs of Epsom salts, allowing any individual no matter how big or small, to float effortlessly on the surface. As they have no work to do, every muscle in the body is allowed to relax completely. Effectively, the logical (left) side of the brain is now rendered redundant, and its activity slows until it synchronizes with the creative (right) half, this leaves the individuals in a "dream state" similar to the thoughts experienced
just before you go to sleep at night |

The tank and its sporting applications
| |
Floating has been shown to loosen the muscles and give athletes a greater degree of control over their nervous systems. This reduces the risk of injury during training or competition.
Even when injuries do occur,floating not only accelerates the recovery process,but releases vast quantities of endorphins, the body's natural painkiller. Floating also maximizes the benefits of fitness training and workouts. While exercise stimulates muscle growth, the strengthening process itself occurs 30 to 40 hours after the work out. The deep relaxation achieved in the tank improves
circulation and accelerates the growth and regeneration of muscle tissue.
Physical exercises can cause a build up of lactic acid, which is often experienced as pain and cramp in the muscles, and has been linked with the feeling known as post - game letdown' which can affect even part - time joggers. Floating resets the body's chemical and metabolic balance, thus reducing the risk of over training. Researched and endorsed at over 100 universities around the world,
The remarkable effects of floatation help you make the most efficient use of your body, your mind and your natural abilities. |

Some common questions asked about floating
| |
|
Is it clean? Extremely. The high salt content of the water means that nothing harmful can live in the float environment, and between each session the full contents of the tank are filtered and purified
the tank is totally clean and sterile environment, immeasurably healthier than a swimming pool or Jacuzzi! |
| |
|
|
Will I feel claustrophobic? It is extremely unlikely and Claustrophobia is normally associated with situations where the individual is not in control, such as a lifts, trains, etc. in the float tank, you have control of the door which you can open any time. When people realize that they have total control of the situation, they soon relax. |
| |
|
|
Can I drown if I fall asleep? The high buoyancy of the water makes it impossible for the individual to go beneath the surface, once the horizontal, it is only possible for you to touch the bottom of the tank with a great deal of effort. |
| |
|
|
Can I have a bad experience? During float session, the individual enters a level of physical and mental relaxation, which is deeper than sleep. However the mind stays awake and dreamily alert. There is absolutely no danger of losing control. |
| |
|
|
I'm afraid of the dark. Will it affect my float? No. The tank has an interior light, which can be left on for the duration of the float. |
| |
|
|
Will the salts wrinkle and dry my skin? No, the opposite is true. The salts are very beneficial to the skin, leaving it feeling silky and smooth. |
| |
|
|
Anything else I should know? We advise customers not to shave on the day of a float session. The salt water can sting any freshly shaved skin and will spoil your floatation experience. |
