Float Therapy
Sensory deprivation in Epsom salt solution for deep relaxation
About This Treatment
Float therapy, also called REST (Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy), involves floating effortlessly in a tank filled with body-temperature water saturated with Epsom salt. The environment eliminates external stimuli - no light, sound, or gravity. This allows profound relaxation, meditation, pain relief, and mental clarity. Each float is a unique experience.
