WHAT IS FLOAT THERAPY?

Elevate your wellness routine with Meraki Health's float therapy. Also known as sensory deprivation therapy, this practice involves floating in a tank filled with skin-temperature water, saturated with Epsom Salt. This environment allows you to float effortlessly without any external distractions or stimuli, creating the perfect setting for meditation, mind exploration, relaxation, and pain relief.

THE SCIENCE AND BENEFITS OF FLOAT THERAPY

  • Float therapy has been shown to significantly lower cortisol levels, which helps to reduce stress and anxiety. This practice promotes a deep sense of calm and relaxation, aiding individuals in managing daily pressures more effectively and enhancing overall mental health.

  • The sensory deprivation environment of float therapy minimises external distractions, allowing the mind to explore new ideas and thoughts freely. This can lead to increased mental clarity and enhanced creative thinking, providing a unique mental space for problem-solving and innovation.

  • The zero-gravity sensation in the float tank alleviates pressure on muscles and joints, providing immediate relief from pain and discomfort. This therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals with arthritis and fibromyalgia, as it helps speed up recovery and reduce chronic pain symptoms.

  • Regular float sessions help reset your body’s natural rhythms, leading to deeper, more restful sleep. The experience in the float tank is akin to REM sleep, promoting deep relaxation and mental rejuvenation, which enhances overall well-being and leaves you feeling refreshed and energised.

  • Float therapy increases the production of endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals. This can elevate your mood and enhance overall mental well-being, providing a natural boost to happiness levels and helping to combat depression.

  • The distraction-free environment of the float tank is ideal for practicing mindfulness and deep meditation. This setting helps achieve a heightened state of awareness and inner peace, making it easier to reach deeper states of meditation and mindfulness.

  • The high concentration of Epsom salts (magnesium sulphate) in the float tank can help improve skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Many people are magnesium deficient, and floating provides an excellent way to absorb this essential mineral. The salts reduce inflammation, promote healing, and aid in detoxification, leaving your skin feeling soft and rejuvenated. Additionally, the magnesium absorption can improve sleep quality and overall well-being.

THE UNIQUE FLOATING ENVIRONMENT

    ZERO-GRAVITY SENSATION

    Our float tank is filled with approximately 25cm of water, saturated with over 500kg of high grade Epsom Salt (Magnesium Sulphate). This high concentration of salt makes the water incredibly buoyant, enabling your body to float effortlessly. The sensation of reduced gravity alleviates all tension from your bones, joints, and muscles, promoting a profound sense of relaxation and pain relief.

    BODY TEMPERATURE WATER

    The water in our float tank is maintained at approximately 35 degrees Celsius, perfectly matching your skin temperature. This precise regulation makes it difficult for your body to distinguish which parts are in contact with the water, creating the sensation of floating in air. This seamless blend allows you to let go completely, facilitating deep relaxation and a profound sense of peace.

    SILENCE AND DARKNESS

    The float tanks are insulated, shielding you from distracting sounds. If you choose to turn off the lights, you are in complete darkness. This isolation from both light and sound significantly reduces external stimuli and distractions, allowing you to be truly alone with your thoughts. This environment facilitates a deep state of relaxation and introspection, providing a unique opportunity for profound rest and rejuvenation.
