Float therapy involves lying effortlessly in a specially designed pod filled with 10 inches of water and over 1,000 pounds of Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate). This creates a solution so dense that your body naturally floats on the surface, eliminating the effects of gravity on your muscles and joints.
The water is heated to skin temperature (93.5ºF), and once you close the pod door, external stimuli, light, sound, touch, and gravity are removed, creating what neuroscientists call Reduced Environmental Stimulation Therapy (REST). This is a unique environment where your nervous system shifts from stress mode to deep restoration.
