Our Story
Multiple therapies are occurring when you're in a floatation tank. First and most obvious is the reduction of gravity. A 1/2 ton of Epsom salt is dissolved into a shallow pool of skin-temperature water to create this effect. Aside from floating, only deep sea divers and astronauts are able to enjoy this break from gravity's pressure.
Spinal decompression during floatation helps relieve pain associated with herniated discs, sciatica, and failed back syndrome. A long-term benefit of spinal decompression during floatation helps the reduction of these adverse symptoms, namely pain relief, by removing pressure from the nerve roots. Chiropractors always state that, if we could get free of gravity, we could eliminate back pain.
Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) has been used for thousands of years as a remedy for various aches, pains and skin diseases. Magnesium is very important for the health and well-being and is essential to the proper functioning of over 300 enzymes. Nowadays, almost all of us suffer from a deficiency of this component. Suitable magnesium level is correlated with a lower incidence of coronary heart disease, lowering blood pressure, improving the quality of sleep and cholesterol. Its natural anti-inflammatory properties are of great help for those who suffer from chronic pain in the muscles and skeleton. Due to the large amount of magnesium sulfate dissolved in water pe*******on through the skin of this element is a great way to supplement the shortage.
Floating quickly changes the brainwaves from beta to theta, which is where accelerated healing occurs. If someone suffers chronic pain, hypertension or insomnia, they're probably not getting the benefits of theta when they're sleeping. This is the reason why many people claim that 1 hour in the float tank feels like 4-8 hours of quality sleep -they're enjoying the beneficial theta state in a fraction of the normal time needed.
When you float, your brain responds to this deep relaxation by releasing endorphins, which help to relieve pain, improve mood and boost T-cell count (improves immune system).
