Frequently Asked Questions & More Info
What is Floatation?
A special tank with skin temperature liquid (94.5° F), in which 700lbs of Epsom salts are dissolved, creates a solution which allows the individual to float effortlessly on the surface.
Every single muscle in the body is allowed to relax, which leaves the brain with no work to do, and in this condition the left (logical) side of the brain slows down to synchronise with the right (creative) side.
What are the benefits?
Freed from all sensation of gravity, temperature, touch, sight and sound (which together account for 90% of normal neuromuscular activity), the floater conserves and redirects vast amounts of natural physical and mental energy. The ultra deep relaxation of floating 'resets' the body's hormonal and metabolic balance, strengthening resistance to - and accelerating recovery from - the effects of stress, illness, injury or strenuous exercise.
Floating has been shown to enhance learning abilities, improve sports performance, promote 'whole brain' thinking and facilitate self-management (habit busting and autosuggestion).
Researched and endorsed at over 100 universities, hospitals and sports training units around the world, the remarkable effects of Floatation help one make the most efficient use of the body, mind and natural abilities.
A Tool for Visualisation
As the tank is a powerful accessory for visualisation, it has been widely accepted as an aid for athletic preparation. Recent experiments by sports therapists in controlled environments have proved that the Floatation tank improves the recovery rate of athletes considerably.
The Floatation tank can be used in conjunction with self-help programmes (stop smoking, weight loss, learning programmes etc.) all to remarkable effect.
