Float Therapy

A Float Tank session involves stepping into a sensory deprivation tank filled with 350kg of Epsom salt. The amount of Epsom salt in the water allows you to effortlessly float in the tank as it is as buoyant as the Dead Sea. The Epsom salts also known as Magnesium Sulphate absorb into your skin as you float and this and in turn enhances your body's natural ability to heal.

I’m pregnant, is it safe to Float?

Absolutely!

Floating can be a haven for pregnant women as it allows you to escape the added weight of pregnancy, taking the strain off the body and spine.

However, if you are in your first trimester, or have any concerns please consult your physician  before coming in.

I’m claustrophobic, can I Float?

This is perhaps one of the most common misconceptions, that people who are claustrophobic cannot float and it's definitely not true.

We regularly hear that customers are interested in floating but are anxious because of being ‘closed inside’ a tank.

 

So here are some important things to remember about floating:

 

  1. You are by no means restricted inside the tank, you can get in out of the tank at anytime

  2. You are in complete control

  3. The light is controlled by the customer inside the tank and can be turned on at anytime

  4. The door can remain completely or partially open the entire time
