Step into Tranquility with our Float Therapy
What is Float Therapy?
Float therapy, also known as sensory deprivation therapy, involves relaxing in a specialized flotation tank filled with water and Epsom salts. All sights and sounds are removed allowing you to drift into a meditative state rejuvenating your mind and body. High salt concentration enables the body to float effortlessly, creating a sensation of weightlessness. The Epsom salt environment helps with lymph drainage and the absorption of Magnesium, which supports muscle and nerve function, regulates blood pressure, and contributes to maintaining healthy bones and a strong immune system.
Float therapy minimizes sensory input, reducing stress, promoting deep relaxation, and aiding in mental and physical rejuvenation. The practice is known to help with muscle recovery, stress relief, and enhancing overall well-being.
