A guide to creating the perfect float routine based on your wellness goals
Floatation therapy is more than just a one-time escape from the world—it’s a powerful tool to support your mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing. But how often should you actually float to see the best results?
At Float Space, we get asked this all the time. The answer depends on your goals, lifestyle, and how you want to feel.
Here’s a breakdown to help you create a routine that works for you:
🧘♀️ For Stress & Anxiety Relief
Recommended: 1–2 floats per week
Floatation therapy is a natural way to calm the nervous system. If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or burnt out, regular floating helps lower cortisol, promote mental clarity, and create a sense of peace.
🫧 Bonus tip: Pair with aromatherapy massage for the ultimate reset.
💤 For Better Sleep
Recommended: 1-2 floats per week
Struggling to fall or stay asleep? Floating reduces brainwave activity and mimics the early stages of deep sleep, helping you drift off more easily later. Many clients say they get their best night’s sleep after a float!
🫧 Try floating in the evening to wind down after a hectic day.
💡 For Creativity & Focus
Recommended: 1–2 floats per week or as needed before a big project
Whether you’re a business owner, artist, or just feeling mentally cluttered, floating can help you find mental clarity, boost creative thinking, and tune into your intuition.
🫧 No distractions. Just you, your thoughts, and the space to unlock big ideas.
💪 For Physical Recovery & Pain Relief
Recommended: 2-3 floats per week during intense training or flare-ups
Floating is fantastic for athletes or anyone with chronic pain. The magnesium-rich Epsom salts help reduce inflammation, while weightlessness takes pressure off joints and muscles.
🫧 Combine with deep tissue or sports massage for even better results.
🧖♀️ For General Wellbeing & Maintenance
Recommended: 1 float every 1–2 weeks
Think of floating as mental maintenance—it keeps your stress low, your focus sharp, and your body relaxed. Regular sessions can help you stay ahead of burnout and boost your mood long-term.
