Flotation pods provide a unique environment that leads to a more profound relaxation experience. Being in a weightless, noise and light free environment provides the body, mind, and soul an opportunity to heal through pure relaxation. Due to the constant pressures of life, our mind and body operate in a fight-or-flight response majority of the time. Living in the constant state can create imbalance and dis-ease. Removing sensory input offers your mind and body the realization that you're not running from a saber tooth. It offers the brain a second (3600 seconds to be exact) to relax and access its creative resources;  it also allows the body an opportunity to lower cortisol levels (stress hormone) and release elevated levels of dopamine and endorphins (happy hormones).

FLOAT THERAPY IS BENEFICIAL FOR...

CHRONIC PAIN | ADDICTIONS | ARTHRITIS | FIBROMYALGIA | ASTHMA | ALLERGIES | MEMORY LOSS | IRRITABLE BOWEL | JET LAG
EXHAUSTION | MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS | MUSCLE RECOVERY | PRE-NATAL TENSION | PRE-MENSTRUAL TENSION | POST-NATAL DEPRESSION RHEUMATIC CONDITIONS | SKIN CONDITIONS | PSORIASIS | ECZEMA | GASTRITIS ULCERS | HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE | HEADACHES | MIGRAINES

RELAXATION RESPONSE
Float therapy suppresses the sympathetic nervous which is the system responsible for the fight-or-flight response. When this system is deactivated the parasympathetic nervous system becomes activated, allowing relaxation and healing to occur. This relaxation response provides a decrease in muscle tension, decreased blood pressure, decreased cholesterol, decreased stress hormones, and increased endorphins.
PAIN MANAGEMENT
Back pain, neck pain, inflammatory joint issues (arthritis, rheumatoid), tendonitis, bursitis, inflammation, psychosomatic pain relief are all documented results from regular pod use.
ENHANCED HEALING | RECOVERY | REJUVENATION
The near weightless environment of floating allows the muscles and joints to fully relax, increasing circulation, providing an increased ability to promote muscle repair, prevent adrenal fatigue, and increase detoxification/elimination. This environment has also been shown to speed the healing of sprained joints and broken bones, sometimes up to twice as fast as without float therapy.
ENHANCED SLEEP SCHEDULE
Float therapy has had much success in assisting those with sleep disorders, such as insomnia. About 40 minutes into our float experience your brain transitions from its normal Alpha/Beta waves to a Theta brainwave. Theta waves are responsible for natural self-healing processes, lowering stress and anxiety levels, increasing memory and concentration, as well as activating intuition and creativity. Due to this shift, one hour session of float therapy is equivalent to 4 hours of restorative sleep.
INCREASED IMMUNE FUNCTION
stress hormones weaken the immune system. Floating allows the body time to adequately rest and recuperate naturally enhancing the body's immune response.
POSITIVE STRESS ADAPTATION
Regular floating effects the endocrine system, the primary system responsible for hormone production. When we we are in a fight-or-flight response from every day, chronic stressors, our body is pumping out stress hormones to maintain optimum function in its environment Regular floating alters the set points in the endocrine homeostatic mechanism, shifting our physiological threshold to stress. This allows us to positively adapt to stress rather than immediately triggering a fight-or-flight/stress response.
PYSCHONEUROIMMUNOLOGY (PNI)
One of the primary focuses of PNI are the interactions between the nervous and immune systems and the relationship between mental processes and health. In essence, how we think effects our physical health and healing. Our body is an integrated system and undivided system, working in a unison to maintain and express balance on a cellular level. Regular floating has been shown to positively effect the mental state, in turn creating a positive effect on physical ailments.
DEAUTOMATIZATION
Our patterns, thoughts and actions become automatic and neurologically ingrained. We become "numb" to our daily life. Regular floating is like a mental "reset" button.  The experience provides a shift from automated existence to a more present state of awareness.
REDUCED ANXIETY | DEPRESSION
Floating has shown to have beneficial effects with anxiety and depression due to the increase in dopamine and other neurotransmitters. Individuals have experienced increased sense of well-being and a more calm demeanor.
BRAIN SYNCHRONIZATION
Research has shown greater hemisphere synchronization (greater communication between the right (creative) and left (analytical) brain hemispheres) once settled into a float experience. This type of synchronized reaction can cause elevated states of creativity and deeper awareness.

ENHANCED CREATIVITY | ADVANCED PROBLEM SOLVING | INCREASED LEARNING ABILITY | INCREASED INTUITION
INCREASED REACTION TIME & SENSORY ACUITY | FEELINGS OF EUPHORIA | HEIGHTENED SENSES
