Floating in a tank makes you feel weightless and reduces sensory input, which boosts your body's production of natural painkillers like endorphins and enkephalins. These chemicals block pain signals at the nerve cell level and work even better when combined with the pressure relief of weightlessness and improved blood flow. Beta-endorphins, powerful natural painkillers, are released during floating, surpassing many prescription drugs in effectiveness.

Float therapy also activates the parasympathetic nervous system, triggering your body's relaxation response. This reduces muscle tension and lowers stress hormones, which helps relieve pain.

Float therapy can break the cycle of pain and depression for chronic pain sufferers, promoting better healing, better sleep and improved quality of life.

Float tanks offer effective recovery and rehabilitation. The high levels of magnesium create buoyancy that reduces the body's weight-bearing load, allowing muscles, joints, and connective tissues to relax and recover from training and competition. The weightlessness speeds up injury recovery, alleviates muscle soreness, and aids in rehabilitation.

The high concentration of magnesium (Epsom salt) in floatation tank water boosts blood circulation and widens blood vessels. This increased flow lowers blood pressure and delivers more oxygen and vital nutrients to tired muscles and tissues, helping them heal faster and reducing recovery time. Better circulation also helps flush out metabolic waste products like lactic acid, which contribute to post-exercise soreness.

Pregnancy isn't always comfortable. Cramps, bloating, back pain, swelling, and aches are common. Yet, growing a baby is incredible! Float therapy helps ease these discomforts, becoming one of the best ways to find relief.

As your baby grows, feeling weightless can be a relief. Floating lets your muscles truly relax without pressure points. With 500kg of Epsom salt in warm water, you're fully supported. You can lie back, stretch out, and find the most comfortable positions. We have a number of floatation supports to help with finding your sweet spot.

Pregnancy can be stressful with all its physical changes and preparations. It's crucial to care for your mental health. Floating gives you uninterrupted "me-time" to relax deeply, unwind, or catch up on sleep.

Floating is often described as creating a womb-like experience. Your relaxation can resonate with your baby, fostering a beautiful bond. We recommend floating between weeks 14 to 37*. Most healthcare providers support floating during pregnancy, but it's wise to check with yours first if you have any concerns. Floating remains beneficial in the fourth and fifth trimesters, postpartum, offering new parents a rare chance to experience profound relaxation amid the demands of caring for a newborn.
