Floating is great for rehab because its zero-gravity environment removes pressure from muscles and joints, while magnesium-rich water reduces inflammation and aids muscle recovery, accelerating healing from injury or intense exercise, relieving pain, and calming the nervous system for deep mental and physical rejuvenation.

JUST BRING YOURSELF
We provide everything you need to float!
No need to bring a swimsuit or towel, towels are provided and swimsuits are discouraged. If you wear contacts, you’ll want to bring a case to keep them in while you float. Feel free to bring any personal items you may want for after showering, such as a hairbrush or deoderant. FLOAT
Consider these important suggestions before your appointment to optimize comfort during your float:

You may want to eat at a light meal beforehand, both hungry and full floating can be distracting. Avoid having too much caffeine, as it will be easier to relax without. Avoid shaving to reduce any stinging sensation.

Floating euphoria refers to the blissful, relaxed State achieved through floatation therapy. The near weightlessness and deep calm release dopamine, endorphins, and reduce cortisol, promoting mental clarity, physical, relief, and profound relaxation.

Float therapy can significantly help with head pain like migraines and tension headaches by reducing stress, easing muscle tension (especially in the neck/shoulders), and absorbing magnesium (a natural muscle relaxant) from Epsom salts, creating a sensory-deprived environment that calms the brain and lowers cortisol, though clinical research is still ongoing for some conditions like TBI. It promotes deep relaxation, which can prevent headache triggers and improve sleep, offering a holistic approach to pain management.
