Stress Reduction
Floating has a positive effect on the nervous system and aides in reducing blood pressure, activating the parasympathetic system and breaking the fight or flight stress cycle
Meditation
Meditation has a plethora of researched benefits and floating is a unique and phenomenal tool to cultivate mental stillness.
Magnesium Absorbtion
Magnesium has been shown to be deficient in the standard North American diet. From standard pain relief to preventing osteoporosis, magnesium is awesome!
Athletic Training
Epsom salt baths help draw out toxins, lactic acid build-up, and speed up recovery time. This is why floating is being used by many professional athletes and teams.
Increased Immune Function
Immune function is enhanced by suppressing stress hormones which weaken the immune system and suppress the digestion and reproductive systems.
Improved Sleep
From managing chronic stress and inducing a natural calm to facilitate introspection, many people report drastically improved sleep patterns.
Introspection
With literally zero outward distractions your attention is easily redirected inward. Habitual thought-pattern recognition and analysis can be clearly discovered.
Dr Justin Feinstein on Floating with Anxiety
"Floating can desensitize the anxious nervous system, including in patients with PTSD, Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia, Social Phobia, and Generalized Anxiety. " - Dr Justin Feinstein
How Floating Works
Floating therapy, also known as sensory deprivation involves floating effortlessly in a salt-water solution of approximately 11 inches of water and 1200lbs of Epsom salt. With the pressure of gravity removed from the body, muscle tension releases, inflammation levels reduce and the parasympathetic nervous system is activated. This effect on the nervous system reduces cortisol levels, symptoms of anxiety & depression and breaks the stress cycle. Floating redirects your focus inward to facilitate meditation and introspection.

"It's an opportunity to just relax for one, get away from all the stresses on the court and in life. It obviously has some physical benefits as well, with salt. " - Hang Time on SportsCentre
"For me, it’s more of a relaxing type of feeling, being able to let my muscles rejuvenate. The first time you use it, it takes time to learn how to float properly and relax your mind as well as your body, but once you do, you feel the benefits of it later."
"When I first got into flotation therapy, I tried it three times in a week, and it was so beneficial that I had another two sessions leading into the 2008 European Cup at Annecy, France. It was there I jumped a personal best of 6.81m and qualified for the Beijing Olympics."
"I think it’s one of the most incredible pieces of equipment for self-help and introspective thought you can ever find. It's been one of the most important tools for me in personal growth for understanding myself, how I am, and what effect I do have on other people."
"You come out and everything is great! … and your skin feels really good."
"It's so crazy, you need to try it to believe! It's the best recovery treatment I’ve had in my career! It's keeping this old body going!"
"Right off the bat, I found it to be one of the most anxiety reducing experiences I've ever had... I did it as a meditative recharge." - Joe Rogan Experience Podcast #320
