What is Halotherapy?

Halotherapy, or dry salt therapy, involves breathing in air infused with microscopic salt particles to support respiratory and skin health. At The Floatation Sanctuary, we use the HALO ONE® halotherapy generator by Clearlight, which disperses a fine mist of micronised saline particles (1–10 microns) into the air. These salt particles are inhaled deep into the lungs and also absorbed by the skin, delivering a natural therapy that is both relaxing and effective.

This treatment is offered as an optional add-on to your infrared sauna session (with sauna temperature capped at 60°C), or can be enjoyed as a standalone service. The process is entirely passive—you simply sit, breathe, and let the salt do its work.

Step into the power of cold with our Ice Bath / Cold Plunge service, designed to invigorate your body and awaken your senses. This ancient practice, now backed by modern science, involves full-body immersion in cold water—typically between 10°C and 15°C—for short durations. The shock of the cold triggers a cascade of beneficial physiological responses, helping you feel more alert, grounded, and energised.

Infrared heat soothes tight muscles and joints, improving blood circulation and flushing out lactic acid and other waste products. This promotes faster muscle recovery and reduced soreness, making it ideal for athletes and those managing chronic pain conditions like arthritis or fibromyalgia.

Sauna sessions also enhance flexibility and range of motion by relaxing muscles and reducing inflammation. Whether you’re preparing for a workout or recovering from one, infrared therapy supports deeper stretches and more efficient recovery.

Thanks for the ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fiona 🤩

A truly tranquil space to relax & enjoy floatation therapy. If you are new to floating you must go here. A+ for the Floatation Sanctuary. They offer a quality well thought out fit for purpose space, with everything you need & experienced staff. I suffer with psoriasis & floating for an hour in epsom salts clears it up for about 8 weeks. Bliss!

Floating....

Floatation Therapy has been called the closest thing to drifting in outer space that you can experience on the planet. It is the ultimate tool to reduce stress, relax, recover and rejuvenate your mind, body and spirit. Also known as Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy (REST), external sensory stimuli from sight, sound and touch is reduced whilst you float in a specialised floatation pod, suspended effortlessly in 10” of a super-saturated mineral rich solution containing 1/2 tonne of Epsom Salt (Magnesium Sulphate), Dead Sea salts and water, which is heated to relaxed skin temperature (35.0C). So, within a few minutes of floating you actually lose awareness of where you body ends and the water begins. The buoyancy of the water effectively creates a zero gravity environment, reducing the pressure on your whole muscular skeletal system. This is particularly beneficial for anyone suffering body aches and pains.

Once you close the pop-up lid of the float pod and turn off the light inside the pod (both of which you have total control), light and sound stimuli are eliminated. For one hour, the outside world is gone and your mind is free from distraction. Floating is all about what you won’t be doing - you won’t be fighting gravity and you won’t be processing external stimuli and eventually you get to the point where you literally completely relax. In this unique setting of reduced environmental stimulation, profound and measurable changes can occur within the body and the mind.

There has been a lot of clinical research to support the numerous benefits of Floatation Therapy. Floating provides a wonderful, weightless rest during pregnancy; a time efficient and cost effective way to relieve stress, anxiety & fatigue; lowers blood pressure & increases circulation; reduces or eliminates pain from tight, sore or tired muscles, provide faster recovery & rehabilitation from injuries, relieve sleep disorders and jet lag; is a natural depression and pain relief (even the chronic pain associated with fibromyalgia and arthritis), and enhanced creativity and visualization. Many professional athletes use floating for visualization to improve performance as well as accelerating muscle recovery.
