Float Spa

Scientists and therapists have utilized float therapy for decades, but its benefits have only recently come into public awareness. Within a specially constructed float therapy pod that closes out light and sound, you will experience peaceful weightlessness while you drift into a totally relaxed state. This state facilitates healing and repair at a cellular level while your mind is utterly free of distractions and pain.

Physical Benefits

Without gravity compressing your joints and soft tissue, your entire body is able to relax in a way that is simply impossible under constant gravitational pull. We achieve this feeling of weightlessness by adding 900 pounds of Epsom salt to water warmed to the same temperature as your skin, thus allowing you to effortlessly remain on the surface of the water. The calming condition lowers your heart rate and blood pressure and extinguishes your fight or flight response. Magnesium works to repair your nervous system while it’s calm, improving its efficiency.

Mental Benefits

Float therapy assists with achieving a meditative state, allowing even beginners to calm their minds and thoughts. As we remove stimuli, such as gravity, light, sound and pressure, we remove the brain’s need to stay vigilant against exterior threats, allowing the release of endorphins, leading to a euphoric state. With body aches lessened and a quieter brain, the focus necessary to gain the benefits of meditation is enhanced. As you learn what to expect from the experience and how to let go and relax, the questions, anticipation and expectations will dissipate giving more space for mindfulness and self-exploration.
