Benefits of Floatings
Pain Management

Arthritis, back pain, neck pain, tendinitis, bursitis, inflammation, and psychosomatic pain relief have all been documented via tank use.

q
Stress Reduction

Regular floating can alter the set-points in the endocrine homeostatic mechanism which can cause adjustments such as a lower adrenal activation threshold.

q
Meditation

Meditation has a plethora of researched benefits and floating is a unique and phenomenal tool to cultivate mental stillness.

Magnesium Absorbtion

Magnesium has been shown to be deficient in the standard North American diet. From standard pain relief to preventing osteoporosis, magnesium is awesome!

q
Athletic Performance

Epsom salt baths help draw out toxins, lactic acid build-up, and speed up recovery time. This is why floating has been adopted by many professional athletes.

Increased Immune Function

Immune function is enhanced by suppressing stress hormones which weaken the immune system and suppress the digestion and reproductive systems.

Improved Sleep

From managing chronic stress and inducing a natural calm to facilitate introspection, many people report drastically improved sleep patterns.

Introspection

With literally zero outward distractions your attention is easily redirected inward. Habitual thought-pattern recognition and analysis can be clearly discovered.

Rehab and Recovery

Magnesium absorbed through your skin helps relax muscle tissue and encourage blood flow, accelerating rehabilitation and recovery.

Increased Creativity

Studies suggest floating encourages more creative solutions to complex problems. University students perform better on creativity tests after just one float.

Endorphin Production

Floating floods the body with endorphins. These neurotransmitters are responsible for relieving pain, enhancing mood, and decreasing anxiety.

Enhanced Senses

Research indicates increased visual acuity, improved tactile perception, improved auditory sensitivity, and increased taste sensitivities after floating.

Depression & Anxiety

A study from The International Journal of Stress Management indicated a group of 70 floaters experienced reduced pain, stress, anxiety and depression.

Behaviour Modification

Floating has shown to enhance behaviour modification efforts such as breaking habits, relieving phobias and beating addictions.

Jet Lag & Fatigue

Floating has quickly become a popular technique for minimizing the affects of jet lag and fatigue. One hour in a tank is roughly equivalent to 6-8 hours sleep.

Super Learning

With less distractions and greater resources at your mind's disposal, you are able to absorb new material very deeply improving memory and recall.
