We’re thrilled to unveil our newest float additions:

The Superior Float Orbs and Deluxe Suites

Some of the most advanced float tanks available today. Spacious (up to 9 feet long), beautifully designed, and top-of-the-line in comfort and performance, these tanks take your float experience to the next level. Whether you’re a seasoned floater or trying it for the first time, you’ll feel the difference.

OUR TANKS

What Is Floating?

Floating (also known as sensory deprivation or REST therapy) is the practice of effortlessly FLOATING in a warm, buoyant solution of 1,000 pounds of Epsom salt and water, held at skin temperature in a light- and sound-controlled float tank. The result? Profound relaxation, a deep sense of calm, and relief from the constant input of daily life.

Why Float?

We say around here: "Check in—or check out." Floating means different things for different people: some sleep, some meditate, some reflect, and some just stretch and enjoy the zero-gravity feel. Whatever your reason, you’ll feel better after you float. No two experiences are the same—and that’s the beauty of it.

Benefits

  • pain management

    Flotation eases chronic pains in the neck and back - it also helps with spinal misalignment issues. Floating has even been shown to ease the pain from such conditions as arthritis and fibromyalgia, conditions with few natural treatment options.

    increased blood circulation

    The weightless environment of the flotation tank allows for the muscles and joints of the body to relax, increasing blood flow and helping to accelerate repair of muscle tissues. This is especially beneficial for those with injuries or chronic pain.

    relaxation response

    Floating weightless in the tank suppresses the functioning of the sympathetic nervous system which is responsible for the 'fight or flight' response. Simultaneously, the parasympathetic nervous system is activated which is responsible for relaxation, stimulation of digestive secretions, replenishment and general recuperation.

    increased immune function

    Immune function is enhanced by suppressing stress hormones which not only weaken the immune system but also suppress the digestion and reproductive systems, affect regeneration processes, and decrease insulin sensitivity.

    use in athletic training

    Water in the tank has the added benefit of being saturated with Epsom salts, which have well-established healing effects, helping to draw out toxins and lactic acid build-up, and speeding up recovery time.

    heightened senses

    Research indicates that regular floating leads to increased visual acuity, improved tangible perception, increased taste sensitivities and improved auditory sensitivity.

    magnesium absorption

    The high concentration of Epsom salts (magnesium sulphate) are absorbed through skin. Magnesium has been shown to be deficient in the standard North American diet. Magnesium assists in regulating high blood pressure, preventing cardiovascular disease, preventing osteoporosis, relieving menopause symptoms, providing PMS relief, creating healthier bones and teeth, and is involved with detoxification. Magnesium is awesome.

  • stress reduction

    Modern life is full of deadlines, frustrations, and demands. For many people, stress is so commonplace that it has become a way of life. Flotation therapy is the most powerful stress relief technique known. Floating has been shown many times, (in controlled studies compared to bed rest), to be the most relaxing experience on earth. (Relaxation measured by perceived stress, by hormone measurement and by brain waves all confirms the truth of this claim.)

    improved creativity

    A small study of five university professors found that six float sessions allowed them to generate more “creative” ideas, which coincided with a self-reported increase in free imagery and remote associations. Similarly, in a study with 40 university students, a single flotation increased their scores on a standardized test used to measure creativity.

    left brain/right brain

    The two sides of the brain operate in very different ways. The left side deals with detail, processing information, maths, order, logic it operates analytically and systematically, it’s basically the essential yet boring side of the brain. The right side of the brain is the hub for creativity, problem solving, music, art, pleasure and emotion. It operates visually, intuitively, rapidly absorbing large scale information.

    The right side is usually constrained and held back by the dominant left brain. Floating massively boosts right-brain function by turning off all external input making the left brain finally shut up, allowing the right side of the brain to run un-interrupted at full tilt.
