Floatation Tank Therapy

The floatation tank is an enclosed shallow pool of warm water saturated with 800lbs of Epsom salts. You float like a cork, as if in the Dead Sea, for a physical experience that fully supports your body for tension release and relaxation. The buoyancy counteracts the effects of gravity, giving the floating person a sensation of weightlessness. Free from all external stimulation, your body can achieve a state of relaxation which is deeper and more beneficial than sleep. The benefits of the float tank are based on a revolutionary scientific approach to deep relaxation called; Restricted Environmental Stimulation Technique, or R.E.S.T. for short, first developed in 1954 by researchers at National Institute of Mental Health in Washington.

Athletes & Floating

Athletes have found that using float-therapy in conjunction with their training program has improved their athletic performance. Every muscle is able to fully rest and recover after being pushed to the limit. Floating can help improve performance, aid in preventing sports injuries, and shorten recovery time.

What normally takes a long period of time (usually days for recovery from a marathon) the floatation tank compresses into a number of hours. By relieving the stresses of gravity, floating takes the weight off strained bones, joints, and muscles and increases the efficiency of the blood circulating through the body. Improves athletic performance and helps prevent sports injuries, speeds healing process.

What if I’m claustrophobic?

Though the idea is to be able to shut out all other stimulation so our brain can relax along with our bodies in a dark environment, you can float with the door open and/or the light on and still benefit from floating. You are in control and should use it in the way that’s most comfortable for you.

How often should someone float?

Regulars seem to enjoy floating 1-2 times weekly. Most people get a sense of what floating can do for them after 2-3 float sessions. Those who see the potential the first time want to return again and again.

Is floating the same as sensory deprivation?

No. The term ‘sensory deprivation’ describes areas of scientific research that consider the effects of reduced environmental stimulation. These words are an unfortunate popular description because rather than depriving our senses, floating reduces the excess stimulation and over-stimulation and sensory overload from busy schedules, lives and worries. So a better term to define floating is ‘Stimulus Reduction’.

What if I'm claustrophobic?

People who say that they are afraid to use the tank because they are claustrophobic probably assume that they will be confined to an enclosed space. However, you can float with the door open. You are in control of the situation and can get in and out when ever you want. The tank is an excellent place to get rid of claustrophobia and you are welcome to bring a friend if needed to help you relax.

Is it dangerous to sleep in the tank?

No, it’s safe to sleep in the tank. The reason people think it may be dangerous is probably the fear of rolling over. Even those people who say they never sleep on their backs in bed; sleep on their backs in the tank. It is very difficult to roll over in the tank because of the density of the solution.

Is there enough air in the tank?

Yes. The tank is designed not to be airtight, so there is a plentiful air supply. In addition, fresh air is brought in by an air circulation system.

How long do people usually stay in the tank?

The first time public places usually schedule an hour. Some people use the tank for shorter sessions and others find 2 or 3 hour sessions very valuable. The "perfect" way is to stay in until you want to get out. You may be able to arrange that in a public place.

Will I be able to resume my daily activities when I get out?

Yes, and it may be good to arrange your time so you don't have to rush. Many people enjoy savoring the peace and quiet before jumping into something hectic.

Is there a cumulative effect of using the tank on a regular basis?

Yes, there seems to be a cumulative effect with consistent use of the tank. Relaxation is a learned art that needs practice.
