Spas with Float Therapy

About Float Therapy

Float therapy — also called flotation REST (Restricted Environmental Stimulation Technique) — involves floating effortlessly in a pod or tank filled with highly saturated Epsom salt solution (typically 1,100 lbs of magnesium sulfate) at skin temperature (93.5°F). The elimination of gravity's load on the body, combined with the removal of visual and auditory input, produces a state of profound physical relaxation and mental stillness that practitioners describe as unlike any other experience. Modern float facilities have elevated the practice from counterculture novelty to a clinical-grade wellness modality.

What to Expect

Sessions last 60–90 minutes in a private pod or tank. The salt concentration is high enough to float any body effortlessly without effort. Modern float pods are fully enclosed — removing all sensory input — though guests can open the pod and leave interior lighting on if preferred. The magnesium sulfate absorbed transdermally during a float has been shown to reduce inflammation and support muscle recovery. Many guests use float therapy for migraine relief, PTSD management, athletic recovery, and pre-competition mental preparation.
