Any condition exacerbated by stress. Floating decreases: blood pressure, heart rate and cortisol levels. It also frees the body of 90% of its neuro muscular activity and releases tension from muscle fibres. Many Pain and stress conditions can be managed or treated as a result of these positive effects such as:

• – Agoraphobia
• – Anxiety disorders
• – Anorexia nervosa
• – Chronic muscle tension pain in back & neck
• – Chronic pain
• – Chronic tension headaches
• – Comorbid major depressive disorder
• – Fibromyalgia
• – Hypertension
• – Insomnia
• – Panic disorder
• – Parkinson’s Disease
• – Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• – Stress-related pain with “burnout depression”

If you are new to floating, we recommend floating 3 times in a short time frame i.e 3 times in 2-3 weeks. This allows your body and mind to acclimate to floating and understand its benefits. Our staff will assist in matching your need with the frequency you should float. Many people who have a particular reason for floating, i.e stress, find weekly floats initially helpful and then move to fortnightly once symptoms dissipate. Typically the relaxing effects of a one-hour float last 1-7 days depending on the individual. For best results, regular and consistent sessions provide the most benefits.

Yes, floating can greatly assist with any aches and pain associated with menstruation. The Magnesium and Sulphate assist with PMS and period pains. For hygiene reasons additional precautions need to be taken during menstruation, sanitary products such as tampons or menstrual cups must be used to ensure no leakage during the float as you would expect in a spa or swimming pool. We keep extra products if you are caught short.

Absolutely, the benefits are most notable in the second and third trimester. The water is 35 degrees, no fear of overheating. The Magnesium Sulphate is absorbed by the skin providing countless benefits. The gravity free environment alleviates pressure from the joints that carrying the baby creates on the mother’s body. Some women have reported being able to hear their baby’s heart beat while floating. Always check your specific pregnancy circumstances with your health practitioner before you float.

Most individuals who are claustrophobic have no problems with floating. The pods are quite spacious, lids can be kept open and the pod light left on. After a couple of sessions most floaters with this condition find they are comfortable and float with the lid closed and light off. If there is a problem you can get out at anytime, or push the emergency button for assistance.

You will sleep, continue to float and upon waking feel amazed!

After each session, the whole body of water cycles through a filtration system containing UV lamps and a micron filter 4-6 times. The water is also treated with a small amount of chlorine in line with health regulations and the 500kg of Epsom Salts dissolved in the water acts as a natural disinfectant. We regularly test and balance the water throughout the day.

Magnesium Sulphate (Epsom Salts used in our pods) & Magnesium Chloride (Dead Sea salts) are both Magnesium Salts. When either Magnesium Chloride or Epsom Salt are diluted into water the bonds separate, so if both products were diluted into the bath water at the same time we would have 3 separate minerals:

• – Magnesium on its own
• – Sulphates on their own
• – Chlorides on their own

As the bonds separate, we uptake those 3 elements separately. Therefore, whether the Magnesium is initially bound to Chlorides or Sulphates becomes inconsequential as it is readily up-taken as Magnesium! Although both products have similar levels of Elemental Magnesium, the Chlorides & Sulphates it’s initially bound to are equally important as EACH one plays a different important role within the body, and provide different essential elements.

Transdermal therapy is by far the best method of absorption. Alternating between the two products can be very beneficial, epsom salts when floating and Magnesium Chloride in your bath at home, ensuring you are replenishing cells with all three minerals.
