THE SCIENCE
Don’t take our word for it. There is a great deal of research and scientific evidence on the benefits of floatation therapy.
The Science behind Floatation R.E.S.T. (Reduced Environmental Stimulation Therapy) involves reducing our 5 senses (sight, sound, smell, taste, & touch) as well as any external sensory input.
This allows the brain to enter a deeply relaxed state similar to meditation, going in and out of low frequency Delta & Theta Brain Waves.
This reduction in stimuli can lower stress & anxiety by decreasing cortisol levels and increasing endorphins (the body’s natural analgesics, also known as the body’s natural happy hormones).
Enhancing relaxation & promoting improved sleeping patterns, as well as boosting mental clarity & creativity. The effects of simply spending an hour in 650kg of Epsom Salts, combined with the weightlessness, having no pressure or weight bearing on the body, helps alleviate muscle tensions & pains.
