Floatation pods or more commonly known as floatation tanks are a revolutionary therapy designed to provide the ultimate mental and physical relaxation. It is a unique experience using a high concentration of Epson salts (Magnesium Sulphate) enabling the body to embark in a weightless floatation journey. Our pods are filled with body temperature water to alleviate any altered sensations between areas submerged and those which are not. They’re soundproof and lightless to further aid the calming environment.

Floating is a great addition in any sports person’s routine. Floating enables the body to be put in a state of relaxation, removing the pressure of gravity from the joints and muscles, not only does it speed up the recovery process but it also reduces the risk of injury.
Epsom salts will improve skin health by drawing toxins from the body, alongside the promotion of healthier hair. In addition they are widely used to ease muscle strain and aching limbs.
Some reasons for poor sleep are within our control – like drinking too much coffee, and using our phones in bed. Others like stress, anxiety and pain, are less so.
A regular floating routine can lower cortisol levels (a stress response hormone) and help you disconnect from the pressures of everyday life.
The stress-relieving qualities of floating also mean it’s a great meditation aid, and can significantly improve sleep quality too.
Floating has been scientifically proven to have a greater and longer lasting impact on anxiety than other therapeutic interventions, and to reduce the activation of stress systems in the brain and body.


A small amount of anxiety and stress is normal and healthy, but many of us experience levels which damage our health, wellbeing, and enjoyment of life.
Reducing stress and anxiety is complex, but there are mental and physical drivers that floating can have a significant impact on.
An hour in a float tank lowers blood pressure and levels of cortisol and other stress-related neuro-chemicals such as norepinephrine, adrenaline and ACTH*. It also reduces activity in the amygdala – the area of the brain which is overactive when we’re stressed or anxious.
High concentrations of Epsom salts in the water allow us to float weightlessly, taking pressure off of our joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons, which can’t even be replicated lying down in bed.
This is why floating has been reported to have significant beneficial impacts on conditions including hypertension, chronic tension headaches, and chronic pain in the back and neck.
Increased blood flow also allows our body to eliminate waste, toxins, and biochemicals such as lactic acid, which causes pain, tightness, and cramping when left to build up. Coupled with the ability to become extremely aware of knots, tensions, and painful spots, floating allows athletes and gym-goers to heal faster and overcome fatigue. Floating can also provide pain relief for people with many conditions from fibromyalgia to arthritis.

Regularly practicing mindfulness can be difficult, but holds many benefits. Floating creates an environment that simply makes mindfulness easier.
A meditative state is brought about more easily due to the relaxation you’ll feel when floating.
By removing external stimuli in a relaxing environment, floating makes it easier to practice different aspects of meditation, including:
- Interoception: sensing internal processes in the body.
- Attention-regulation: directing our attention somewhere without being distracted.
- Self-regulation: determining our physical response to a stressful environment.
So, whether you’re a keen meditator, or struggling to sustain a practice, floating can help you develop your awareness, sustain your attention, and respond to situations with more choice.
