FLOTATION THERAPY
Step outside of time! Flotation therapy is an enjoyable and infinitely soothing way to give the body a moment of rest from the stresses of everyday life.
RETURN TO THE SURFACE
Flotation therapy was invented in the 1950s by the American neuroscientist John C. Lilly. Lilly wanted to find out what happens to a person when they enter a state without sensory stimuli.
For a research environment, Lilly built a tank filled with salt water where it was possible to float in a weightless state, in body-warm salt water without anything to stimulate the senses.
Flotation therapy has been found to have a wide range of well-being benefits and is therefore becoming one of the more popular forms of relaxation and recovery.
According to research, a 45-minute float can have the same effects as a six-hour deep sleep. We all know how great life tastes after a good night’s sleep when the body is rested and recharged. You can now have this same feeling with the help of flotation therapy, whenever you need it.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
IS THE TANK TIGHT?
Float Studio’s flotation tanks are the most spacious on the market. You will probably be surprised at how spacious the tank is inside. The volume of the tank is equivalent to a small passenger car, which means you can, for example, sit comfortably in it if you want.
IF I FALL ASLEEP, CAN I DROWN?
The water in the flotation tank is very salty which gives it strong buoyancy. Drowning in the tank is practically impossible because the water supports floatation. If you want, you can take a neck support with you into the tank if it helps you relax. However, you can achieve the best state of deep relaxation without a support because when the tank’s water line rises above the ears it effectively shuts out the sounds of the outside world.
WHAT IF I'M AFRAID OF WATER?
Water is not a natural element for humans and therefore it is quite natural that it can feel a little frightening at first. However, it is important to remember the water in the flotation tank strongly supports you due to its high salt content, and therefore there is no danger of drowning. If the idea of being in water seems foreign to you, give yourself time to get used to it. Many people who have been worried about floating for the first time say that they started to enjoy it after a few tries.
WILL THE TANK LID DEFINITELY OPEN?
The tank lid is light and does not lock, and so will open with absolute certainty. You can also leave the cover completely or partially open if that makes you feel more comfortable. However, you can only completely close out sensory stimuli by closing the lid properly so that light and sound remain outside your relaxation experience.
WHY DIDN'T I RELAX?
These days it is typical for us to treat everything we do as a performance. We even measure our sleep despite the fact this should be the time of day when we do nothing at all. The same can be said for flotation therapy. If you feel your mind does not calm down during the first attempt at floating, you need to persist and try again. Before your relaxation time begins, remind yourself that right now you don’t need to do anything other than just be.
HOW DO I KNOW IF FLOATING IS RIGHT FOR ME?
Flotation therapy is suitable for almost everyone. However there are some exceptions when floating is not recommended:
