Float Therapy

What Is Floating?

Float Therapy Central Coast

Float Therapy is a revolutionary technique that provides a way for your mind and body to escape the normal conditions of life on earth, allowing your entire being to get a well deserved rest. Commonly referred to as Sensory Deprivation or Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy (R.E.S.T.), floating is simply lying in an environment that is devoid of many of the natural forces that affect our mind and body, even when we are sleeping. Consistent exposure to this light-proof, sound-proof, weightless environment has been shown to have benefits of both a physical and mental nature.

Float Therapy Pod

Float Therapy is done in a float tank, also known as an isolation tank, float pod, REST chamber or sensory deprivation tank; which is basically a personal spa/tank filled with 25cm of richly Epsom salt-saturated water. These can come in many shapes and sizes, with variations aplenty (pod style to open air). Our scientifically designed I-Sopod Tanks are manufactured to maximise the intended conditions to provide the maximum benefits.

The i-Sopod is the largest float pod in the world and can cater to pretty much all shapes and sizes. Measuring 2.6m long and 1.7m wide, the design of the i-Sopod has been methodically crafted by a company in the UK with over 22 years in the float industry, with specific attention being paid to concerns made by users since float tanks for came to notoriety in the 1990’s. The large design and sleek body have allayed the trepidation of those who suffer claustrophobia. Whilst you can leave the pod door open and still have a good experience, many who fear confined spaces regularly find themselves pulling the i-Sopod door closed moments into their session.

No Gravity
& Tactile Reduction

This 525kg of Epsom Salt transforms the water to such a density where it is impossible not to float, it is in fact denser than the Dead Sea. This weightless has an effect on the body that usually only astronauts and deep-sea divers are able to experience for a extended amount of time.

The water is heated up to skin temperature (35.5°C) and the air around you is also controlled to the remain at skin temperature. Not long after commencing the float, it is impossible to even tell which parts of your body are in or out of the water!

An added bonus of the tank solution is the high concentration of Magnesium, which can be readily absorbed through the skin. Magnesium plays a vital role in the body and maintaining high levels aids in pain relief, nerve & muscle function, reducing inflammation and over 300 more biological processes.

No Sight Or Sound

The room and tank are also controlled to restrict the input of any light or sound. Without these external distractions, it has been shown to allow the brain to rest and rejuvenate systems that are ‘turned on’, even when our eyes are closed. This environment bereft of any sight, sound, tactile sensation and even gravity is the perfect place to give your whole being a rest.
