What Is Floating?
Floatation Therapy is also referred to as Sensory Deprivation Therapy, REST (Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy), or more commonly known today as Floating. It is the therapeutic practice of entering a sensory reduced environment and floating in salt water held within a highly specialized tank. This modality was first used by the scientist John C. Lily, who among other things, invented salt-water pools for his research experiments.
During his research he discovered that the sensory deprivation environment he was creating for his control groups, actually had more powerful and lasting benefits than the treatment variables he was utilizing. And so, began the era of using floating for its therapeutic benefits. Since those early days, there have been many developments in floating, particularly in the kind of tanks used to float. Compared to the pools and tanks of the past, tanks today are super comfortable and very user-friendly. Yet, the therapeutic results remain just as powerful and beneficial.
Why Float?
We think you should float because it has helped us, and we love it! But don’t take our word for it—come float with us and experience deep relaxation, replenishment, and faster recovery from daily stress, workouts, or training. Floating can help reduce pain perception, support recovery from the effects of stress and jetlag, and even assist in addiction recovery. Many people report improved sleep, enhanced physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing, as well as a boost in creativity, innovation, problem-solving, and idea generation. And of course, there’s the completely awesome feeling of complete buoyancy. Our top priority is to help you feel, work, play, create, and think your best!
