Floating Point

We have partnered up with Floating Point to offer our members an exclusive 10% discount.

 

Floatation therapy at The Floating Point is the practice of lying back effortlessly in one of our world leading i-sopod floatation tanks and drifting into a blissful, deep, meditative state that rejuvenates and revives your mind and body.

Also known as floatation & float therapy, the floatation experience is delivered through a super-saturated Epsom-salt solution, 25cm deep and containing 500kg of magnesium rich Epsom-salts.

The solution is heated to skin temperature (35.5°C) and the environment in the tank is controlled so that the air is also skin temperature. Once you are settled, it is impossible to tell which parts of your body are in the water and which are not.

This creates an environment similar to that of the Dead Sea but without the sensation of temperature or movement, which lets you float effortlessly on the surface of the water, enjoying a feeling of total freedom & weightlessness!

Our I-sopod tanks are top of the range and the biggest pods available, they are over 2.5m long and 1.7m wide which gives you plenty of room to move around with good head space. This means you won't feel claustrophobic.

They are specifically designed to block out all external distractions including sight, sound, tactile sensations and gravity. This environment may bring long lasting and transformational experiences. What is a Floatation Tank?

Your first float might feel like magic; however floatation therapy is the result of thirty years of mainstream scientific research in human performance and wellness.

Best of all, the effects of floatation are cumulative – the more often you float, the better it is for your mental health, wellbeing and performance.

Benefits of floating

Floating has many beneficial effects, it is a simple way to achieve mental and physical rejuvenation, reduce stress and manage chronic pain. It can be used as a tool for self-discovery, potentially increase recovery times for athletes and may lead to increased creativity and performance in athletics, academics, students and businesses.

Floating is a wonderful way of attaining the deepest relaxation.

In the near gravity free environment the body balances and heals internally as all the senses are rested.
