Float Zero

💦 Reset. Revive. Reboot. 💦
Floatation Therapy
Stellenbosch, South Africa In this space we explore the multifaceted benefits of floatation.

In a tranquil backwater of Stellenbosch we have created an intimate retreat where it is possible to escape from life’s demands and pressures, both physical and mental, acute and chronic, and emerge restored. Floatation Therapy, also known synergistically as REST or Restricted Environmental Stimulous Technique, is time-tested and scientifically proven to enhance wellbeing in multiple ways. Regular floating promotes deep relaxation which in turn eases aches and pains, elevates mood, restores balance and improves sleep, amongst many benefits. Everyone will benefit by simply taking time out and floating.

Floating is for everybody, whether you want to explore the silence of mindfulness with zero gravity opening that space or healing physical ailments. Zero gravity works to support.

Think about this, in effect, you have been fighting the effects of gravity since the day you were born and its impacts on your being. Take gravity out of the issue, as we like to say, suspend your argument with gravity, and you benefit from the effects that enhance well-being, mentally and physically.

Research has proved that floating in a floatation tank benefits all, including the healthy!

Breathing tips that give your flight or fight response a breather.

Being aware of your breath when floating helps you ‘let-go’ when you are floating. You do this by focusing on your breathing, relaxing your abdominal muscles so you can inhale, expanding your belling as it rises. By breathing in fully like this, your flight or fight response is given a break and your autonomic nervous system sends relaxing signals to your brain.

Another option in breathing awareness is to focus your attention on your breath as it passes in and out. And if you find that thoughts intrude during your breath focus, don’t argue with them, let them pass and return your focus to your breath.

Want your practice to be the top-listed Clinic in Stellenbosch?

What is Float Therapy?

Floating is a practice where you enter into our float Pods, which is a well-engineered enclosed Pod filled with 10″ of water that has 800 lbs. of dissolved Epsom salts in it. Our Clients lie down in the water and float effortlessly. The water is heated to the same temperature as the surface of your skin so that when the water settles and you remain relaxed and still, you do not really feel the water anymore. The tank is light-proof, sound-proof and has a neutral smell.

WHY FLOAT?

All forces of gravity on the musculoskeletal system and nervous system are eliminated from the extreme positive buoyancy; so imagine a space where you don’t feel, see or hear anything. The Pod's extremely unique environment is designed to allow for a minimal amount of sensory input to enter into your nervous system. This environment then has a plethora of benefits and applications for health, personal development, spirituality, and well-being.

BENEFITS FOR YOUR BODY & MIND

Whether you're using floatation therapy as a tool for meditation, creativity or rest & recovery, there are a wide-range of benefits that are difficult to get anywhere else.

MENTAL RESET

The mental “reset”. Patterns exist throughout our lives. Going throughout our daily routines we get “numb” to so much around us, we become automatic with so many of our thoughts, our actions, our environments. The “resetting” experience provided by the tank can shift us out of this automated existence and bring us into greater awareness of the things we are often over-looking, less aware of or insensitive to, and not appreciating.

RECOVERY POWER

Floating takes the pressure of gravity off joints and muscles and your body is put in to a high state of physical relaxation. Blood pressure and oxygen intake reduce but at the same time blood flow and the distribution of red blood cells increases.

This speeds recovery from injury and helps flush any lactate, cortisone and adrenaline that may have built up through training or performance.

Floating has been shown to loosen the muscles and give more control over your nervous system. This reduces the risk of injury during training or competition. Floating not only accelerates the recovery process, but releases vast quantities of endorphins, the body’s natural painkiller.

Modern training methods focus on helping the athlete to master the ‘inner game’ to develop the perfect synchronicity between mind, body and emotion, which is the hallmark of a champion. In the tank the athlete can reach the level of concentration necessary for visualisation to have a quantifiable impact on his or her performance.

Physical exercise can cause a build of lactic acid, which is often experienced as pain and a cramping of the muscles. It has also been linked with feelings of depression known as ‘post-game let down’ which can also affect part-time joggers. Floating resets the body’s chemical and metabolic balance, reducing the risk of over training.

STRESS FLOATS AWAY

Perceived stress can be correlated with increased levels of cortisol and in flotation therapy there is a natural tendency for cortisol to be reduced . For this reason, flotation therapy is one of the few noninvasive techniques available to manage stress when it is a factor in reducing a person's ability to cope with normal life. Flotation therapy is a fast technique in this respect. The Swedish research was based on 60 minute float sessions. This compares well with other management techniques such as long vacations.

There are many similarities with the age old long hot bath, the differences being that in flotation therapy the temperature is maintained at the correct level and the bath is large enough to float without touching the sides of the bath.

ZERO GRAVITY

Due to the high salt levels in the water, the flotation tank creates a zero gravity environment. Unless you are an astronaut the flotation tank is the only situation you will encounter where your body is free from gravity. NASA employs flotation to stimulate weightlessness. Zero gravity allows you to relax every single muscle, your neck, arms, back, and even ears. The tank enables you to find those areas you are holding tense so you can let go.

Finding where gravity is and in which direction, then computing how you can move and not fall over, takes about 90% of your brains activity on a daily basis. When you start to float you are free from all the gravity computations and the physical world, which leaves the brain free to attend to other matters.

The tank creates a state of sensory relaxation as the mind and body are shielded from all the external stimulation. The brains normal workload is reduced by up to 90%. In this situation, the body conserves energy and has a chance to heal and rejuvenate itself.
