floating

Epsom salt has been used for hundreds of years to alleviate aches and pains. Epsom salt is a strong anti-inflammatory that will aid in the relaxation of muscles and relieve pain from arthritis, migraines, injuries, workouts, etc.

In this unique anti-gravity state there are no pressure points on the body, so all weight and tension can be dropped. Providing up to 100% pain relief.

Float pods have seen success easing chronic pains such as neck and back pain, and help with spinal misalignment issues. They have even been shown to ease pain from conditions with few natural treatment options such as arthritis and fibromyalgia.

Bodies physically rest and recover more quickly in a float pod- up to four times faster, in fact! This means you can train harder and reap the benefits of faster recovery times. The high concentration of Epsom salt draws out toxins and lactic acid from work outs, speeding up recovery time and allowing athletes to push themselves further, faster. This is especially true in conjunction with infrared sauna use.

The float pod environment has also been shown to expedite the healing of broken bones and sprained joints, sometimes healing twice as fast as without floatation therapy.

The near-weightless environment of floating allows for the muscles and joints of the body to relax, increasing blood flow and circulation.

This helps decrease blood pressure, protects the elasticity of arteries, prevents blood clots, and reduces the risk of heart disease and heart attack. The increase in circulation also increases the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the cells throughout the body. Leaving you feeling replenished and energized.

Choose to float in complete darkness and silence to experience sensory deprivation. The water is even heated to skin temperature, nearly eliminating all sensations. Sensory deprivation allows your mind and body to enter the most relaxed state they can be in while you’re awake. In the pod, your brain waves will change from alpha and beta waves— which dominate throughout the day— to theta waves. Naturally you experience the theta state on the cusp of falling asleep, right after waking up or during the deepest level of meditation. The theta state allows us to access deeper levels of creativity and higher-level problem solving. It is the border between the conscious and the subconscious mind. A state of deep relaxation and healing.

Lack of external stimuli and stressors will help your brain relax and function at it’s greatest capacity. Floating improves mental clarity and alertness, increases creativity and problem solving abilities, and accelerates learning.

Floating melts away stress by decreasing the primary stress hormone, cortisol, within the body. This leaves us feeling refreshed and serene after a float.

Stress is the root of many common ailments such as anxiety, depression, hypertension, ulcers, heart disease, and many others. The float pod offers a mental solution to heal these physical symptoms.

Without the hustle and bustle of everyday life, people experience a profound calmness of mind. This vacation away from the world allows for stress management and offers inner peace.

Even more abstract mental issues, such as depression, psychological issues, even PTSD, have been shown to be alleviated in the pod due to shifts in brain chemistry. It may also help facilitate freedom from habits, phobias and addictions.
