Our treatments
Float Tanks
Imagine floating without effort and experiencing a completely relaxed state of being. Free from gravity, external stimulation, stress, tension and pain – this is floatation therapy.
Massage
At Float Lab we offer a variety of massage treatments to help aid in recovery. Relaxation massage, remedial massage and pregnancy massage.
Infrared Sauna
Unlike a traditional sauna, infrared sauna’s don’t heat the air around you. Instead they use infrared lamps to warm the body directly.
Facilities
Engineered for sensory deprivation
It is common for the floater to experience various states of brain activity during a float session including Theta wave patterns (3 to 8 Hz) .Theta brain waves occur most often in sleep but are also dominant in deep meditation. Theta is our gateway to learning, memory, and intuition. In theta, our senses are withdrawn from the external world and focused on signals originating from within. You cannot expect to achieve sensory deprivation without being in a sensory deprived environment.
The Benefits
Pain Management
Stress Reduction
Regular floating can alter the set-points in the endocrine homeostatic mechanism which can cause adjustments such as a lower adrenal activation threshold.
Meditation
Meditation has a plethora of researched benefits and floating is a unique and phenomenal tool to cultivate mental stillness.
Depression & Anxiety
A study from The International Journal of Stress Management indicated a group of 70 floaters experienced reduced pain, stress, anxiety and depression.
Rehab & Recovery
Magnesium absorbed through your skin helps relax muscle tissue and encourage blood flow, accelerating rehabilitation and recovery.
Athletic Performance
Epsom salt baths help draw out toxins, lactic acid build-up, and speed up recovery time. This is why floating has been adopted by many professional athletes.
Increased Immune Function
Immune function is enhanced by suppressing stress hormones which weaken the immune system and suppress the digestion and reproductive systems.
Improved Sleep
From managing chronic stress and inducing a natural calm to facilitate introspection, many people report drastically improved sleep patterns.
Jetlag & Fatigue
Floating has quickly become a popular technique for minimizing the affects of jet lag and fatigue. One hour in a tank is roughly equivalent to 6-8 hours sleep.
Creativity & Learning
With less distractions and greater resources at your mind's disposal, you are able to absorb new material very deeply improving memory and recall.
Studies suggest floating encourages more creative solutions to complex problems.
Endorphin Production
Floating floods the body with endorphins. These neurotransmitters are responsible for relieving pain, enhancing mood, and decreasing anxiety.
