The Healing Powers of Float Therapy: Discover the Benefits


Float therapy, also known as sensory deprivation therapy or flotation therapy, has surged in popularity as a profound method to achieve deep relaxation and healing for both the mind and body. At Serenity Now Float Spa, we offer a unique wellness experience designed to help our guests find peace and restoration through float therapy. This therapy leverages the simplicity and tranquility of floating in a specially engineered tank to promote numerous health benefits.


What is Float Therapy?


Float therapy involves lying in a float tank filled with a highly concentrated Epsom salt solution, which allows you to float effortlessly. The water is maintained at skin temperature, creating an environment where you can barely distinguish between parts of the body that are in the water and those that are not. This sensory reduction environment minimizes external stimuli such as light, noise, and gravitational pull, leading the individual towards a state of deep relaxation.


At Serenity Now Float Spa, our float tanks are designed to be spacious and comfortable, ensuring that all guests, regardless of their size or height, can relax comfortably. The tanks are also completely enclosed, offering you privacy and seclusion from the outside world.


Benefits of Float Therapy


Float therapy offers a multitude of benefits, which include physical, mental, and emotional improvements:


Physical Relaxation and Pain Relief


The absence of gravity during float therapy allows muscles and joints to relax deeply, reducing tension throughout the body. This can help alleviate chronic pain, such as back pain and arthritis, as well as hasten recovery from sports injuries. The high concentration of Epsom salt helps to reduce inflammation and improve blood circulation, enhancing the body’s natural healing processes.


Stress Reduction and Mental Clarity


One of the most significant benefits of float therapy is its ability to reduce stress and enhance mental clarity. The sensory deprivation environment allows your brain to shift from its usual waking beta state to a deeply relaxing theta state, which is often associated with meditation and creativity. Regular sessions in the float tank can help manage anxiety, combat depression, and improve overall emotional resilience.


Enhanced Sleep Quality


Float therapy can substantially improve sleep quality by helping to reset the body’s sleep regulation mechanisms. The deep relaxation achieved during floating can help alleviate insomnia and normalize sleep patterns. Many of our guests report experiencing better sleep for several days after just one float session.


Combining Float Therapy with Other Treatments


At Serenity Now Float Spa, we understand the importance of holistic wellness, which is why we offer a variety of services that complement float therapy. Combining float therapy with massage, full spectrum infrared sauna, or red light therapy can enhance the benefits of each treatment, leading to improved overall well-being.


Massage and Body Work


Incorporating massage or body work before or after a float session can enhance the relaxation effects and further ease muscle tension. Our skilled therapists tailor treatments to meet individual needs, ensuring a deeply therapeutic experience.


Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna


Using our full spectrum infrared sauna in conjunction with float therapy can amplify the detoxifying and relaxation benefits. The sauna helps to warm and relax muscles beforehand, making the float experience even more effective.


Red Light Therapy


Red light therapy has been shown to promote skin health and cellular repair. When combined with float therapy, it can provide an added level of rejuvenation, enhancing the sense of renewal you feel after leaving our spa.


Who Should Try Float Therapy?


Float therapy is beneficial for almost everyone. Whether you are a busy professional looking for a way to unwind, an athlete seeking faster recovery, or someone dealing with chronic stress or pain, float therapy can offer you meaningful relief and relaxation. It’s also a great tool for those looking to explore deeper meditative states or enhance their creativity.
