1) Relaxation response

And it then activates the nervous system, which is responsible for relaxation, healing and distress, etc. Some physical symptoms of the relaxation response are decreased muscle tension, decreased blood pressure, decreased stress hormones, and many more.


2) Pain management

Floats are a great way to manage pain. The benefits of using floatation tanks to relieve pain are well documented. From arthritis, back problems and neck tension to tendinitis or bursitis, tank use will provide relief for your condition!

It can also improve sleep quality and increase creativity. floating is a great way to reduce stress and improve your mental health.

5) Magnesium absorption:

Epsom salts are a great way to get magnesium into your diet. These minerals can prevent cardiovascular disease, regulate high blood pressure and osteoporosis. Magnesium has so many benefits for our health when taken regularly. It’s no wonder people want more than just an occasional glass of wine after dinner because they know these relaxing waters will help them sleep better at night too.





Looking for a way to improve your health and achieve your goals?


Floatation involves lying in a float tank, also known as an isolation tank or sensory deprivation tank. The float tank is filled with water that is saturated with Epsom salt, which allows you to float effortlessly. The water is kept at skin temperature, so you will feel neither hot nor cold while floating. Most float tanks are dark and soundproof, which allows you to float in complete darkness and silence. This environment can help you relax and de-stress.


Floating is the perfect way to start your day on a positive note with many health benefits. The lack of sound and light in floats create an environment for releasing stress, anxiety or any other negative feelings that may come up throughout the course of each day.


While there are many different types of floating tanks available today they share one major trait - it's easy! You don't need special skills; just find someone who knows what he’s doing so you can enjoy this relaxing therapy session together.
