Floatation Tank Therapy & Wellness Centre

About Floatation Therapy

Whether you’re a newbie to the world of float tank therapy or you’re simply ready to take a step towards improving your health and wellness, we have all the information you need. 

What is Floating or Floatation Therapy?

Floating is essentially a time out for the mind and body, completely disconnecting yourself – away from all the distractions of daily life – to a much deeper state of relaxation.
Deep relaxation that offers physical and mental rest, focus, enhanced recovery, respite, and self exploration.

Why Do People Float?

We have come across many reasons to float and as the amount of research increases so are the number of benefits to be found from Floatation Tank use – here are just a few of the more common: 
Time to yourself to relax and de-stress.  Increase and speed up athletic and muscle recovery.  Enhanced focus and thought processing.   To aid or enhance meditation and mindfulness.   Relief from pain, especially effective with back injuries but also tension related pain, many Fibromyalgia sufferers use floatation therapy to ease their symptoms.   As a tool to aid therapeutic processing or counselling, including PTSD therapy.  

At the very least, Floating is an escape from the modern day world which overwhelms the senses… No phone alerts. No screens. No environmental stress.  Just you, yourself and nothing else.

Where Can You Float?

Float centers like ourselves are perfect for regular use, however it is possible to own your very own float tank, and the costs over time could give you a saving.  We also act as distributors for UK, USA and European Float Manufacturers.  Anyone with a spare room no smaller than 2.5m x 3.5m could have their own float tank. With the right planning and design it isn’t as hard as you might think.  We’d be happy to chat with you about the requirements, we can even design and install from the ground up.  

How Should You Float?

You should treat your floatation experience as your own journey. Your first few floats, you might find yourself losing track of time or even falling asleep or you may find the opposite as some people struggle to allow themselves to fully relax, but don’t worry as this is common and is quite normal as your brain simply does not like a lack of input.  The more you float, the more you can get from the experience as you become more comfortable in the environment and learn to let go.  It is often a good idea to enter with a meditation plan, or simply a work or life subject that you would like to focus on.
Many people keep a float diary or journal, and update it afterward to help capture thoughts, ideas and realizations.
However you spend your time in the tank we say you should give it a few tries before you decide to continue floating or even take it to the next level with a Float Tank in your own home.

When Should You Float?

Some people float after a long, stressful day at work to help them relax and process. Some like to float in the morning so they can visualise their day and any possible challenges they want to take on or expect. Some athletes float right before a big game or event to visualise their performance, some float after to use the muscle relaxation for recovery, and many do both.  The best answer is, when does floating feel right to you?
