Floatation therapy (sometimes called sensory deprivation or float therapy) involves lying in a specially designed pod or tank filled with warm water and Epsom salts, allowing you to float effortlessly on the surface. The water is heated to skin temperature and the pod is designed to reduce light and sound, creating a calm, weightless environment where your body and mind can fully relax.

The benefits are wide-ranging: physically, the weightlessness takes pressure off joints and muscles, helping with pain relief, recovery and deep relaxation. The magnesium in the Epsom salts can also support muscle function and skin health. Mentally, floatation therapy is known to lower stress levels, improve sleep quality, enhance creativity and even support meditation and mindfulness practices by reducing external distractions.

It’s particularly beneficial for people experiencing stress, anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain or those simply looking for a peaceful reset from a busy lifestyle. Athletes also use floatation therapy to speed recovery, improve focus and support overall performance.

Many people describe the experience as deeply restorative - like pressing pause on the outside world and giving your whole system time to recharge.
