Gravity Wellness Centre

Even though this was my first time doing anything like this, I felt an immediate sense of relief from the float. I was finally able to have my brain not only switch off but actually relax. I actually fell asleep something I could not have imaged. I taking floating on as practice to manage my PTSD, sleep and also pain management and inflammation for my ankle condition.

With chronic fatigue its difficult to find therapies that help you but also don’t stress your body. I can’t push my body with intensive therapies such as sauna or exercise. However, with PEMF you’re getting all the benefits that those more intensive therapies can provide; but without the stress load on my body.

Full disclosure, I am the centre manager for Gravity and have been floating for 7 years. I decided to try our 7 Day Detox, recently. I know first-hand the benefits of floating, but WOW the detox is truly next level. I felt calmer yet with more energy, my body felt amazing and the pain in my back dissipated.

I tried the combination of a massage therapy session followed by a flotation therapy session on my last visit. It’s always a pleasure receiving massage therapy from Oscar. He is thoughtful, considerate and never hesitates to make me feel at ease during his sessions. He has a calming presence and energy which I find soothing.

Floating is a therapy that continues to provide benefits long after I have come out of the pod! Whilst floating, the pain in my body subsides and the reduced stimulus allows my mind to access a deeper sense of relaxation. Over the past 15 years, I have tried a vast range of therapies and treatments to assist with my pain relief.

After doing a few floats, I decided to try the 14 day float detox at Gravity in Northcote, and it was the BEST way to start the new year! It’s really hard to describe the experience… it’s like a deeply nourishing stillness. (I’d say give it at least 3 floats to get into it… it definitely took me a while to get into it, and then something just clicked and now I LOVE it!)

My time and energy was spread so thin leaving me stressed and overwhelmed. The 6 week program gave me the mindset, motivation and skills to clear my brain fog, change my attitude to stress and empowered to prioritise ME!

I signed up to Gravity’s 6 Week Stress Relief Program to manage my high blood pressure and stress. My blood pressure improved by my 3rd float. Within 6 weeks my blood pressure was within normal range and my whole wellbeing had significantly improved. I’ve also learnt to manage my stress levels effectively. Floating has been a game changer, I’m a committed floater for life!

At 24, I survived a major brain-stem stroke. Since then I navigate our world with altered sensation, vestibular dysfunction and sensory overload. I’m consciously grateful to be able to walk, talk & use my body’s functions again. Floating takes away the un-seen pressures off my body and senses. The experience of weightlessness is truly wonderful. It’s like giving yourself a big holistic hug.

I hadn’t floated before I was pregnant, the relief resulting from zero gravity was incredible. I had been struggling with sleep during my pregnancy, after my float I slept beautifully. The actual float itself was nothing short of magical; I felt a connection to my baby that was indescribable. I recommend this to any mum-to-be, give back to you and connect deeply with your baby.

Floating during my 2nd and 3rd trimester made my pregnancy enjoyable. Floating relieved the pain in my joints and the constant pressure of the heaviness and pressure from the baby. This helped me to relax and encouraged a calmness in my mind which helped me sleep.

I floated in my last trimester, completing 3 floats in 3 weeks. The deep sense of relaxation and pressure relief experienced in my body was like nothing else. It was the 1st time in for weeks I felt comfortable laying down. Floating helped me to achieve a wonderful connection with my baby. I gave birth 1-week after my final float. I can’t wait to float again.

Pregnant with twins, Lana floated in the later stages of pregnancy for lower back pain relief. She completed 2 floats in 2 days as a way to relax and prepare for her scheduled C-section that week. Her gorgeous twin girls were so relaxed, they decided to join the world a little earlier. Less than 24 hours of her last float session, Lana went into natural labour and gave birth to 2 healthy baby girls.

Alana is an entrepreneur, creative and the co-creator of fashion label “I Am Gia”. The brand has been a massive success, and the concept came to Alana during a floatation session at Gravity Float back in 2017. In only as little as 1 month following her float tank experience, her dream had come to life; and the brand as it is known today was launched.

After running a marathon, I finished in a lot of pain. I could barely walk due to muscle fatigue and runner’s knee. I floated directly after the run, incredibly 90% of my pain was gone as a result! I’ve competed in iron man sprints and long distance running and I have never experienced such a quick recovery from pain and muscle fatigue.

In 2019 I had hip surgery, float therapy was essential for my recovery and chronic pain. Floating weekly relieved my severe muscle and joint pain, allowing me to rehab and regain my mobility quicker. I’ve been floating weekly since 2015, it continues to be an integral part of my wellness plan to help keep me young and mobile.

When I had a severe motorbike accident, I was told I wouldn’t ever walk properly again. After floating every weekend for 4 months, I was able to walk as well as ever, defying all doctors’ opinions. Floating has been part of my self care plan for my mental and physical health since the 90’s. It’s an incredibly relaxing therapy.

In 2014 I worked in an abusive workplace, subjected to daily threats and aggression. My mental health suffered so, I had to stop work. Regular floating is the cornerstone for managing my anxiety and PTSD. It lowers my adrenaline and cortisol so other therapies can be effective. It’s a safe place where my mind can quieten, and I heal.

I came across Float Therapy back in 2016. During footy season, I float regularly. I use it for physical recovery after a game, but it’s also a powerful tool to get my mindset right before a game. While floating, I visualise the game play and remove any noise that distracts my focus. It gives me the edge to play my best on game day.

I was able to hear my unborn baby’s heartbeat while floating, this was one of the most amazing experiences ever! My joint pressures and aches were eliminated, I left feeling totally re-energised, relaxed and on top of the world. The staff were nothing short of amazing. I slept like a baby after my spectacular float.
