THE BENEFITS OF FLOATING

HOW FLOAT THERAPY HEALS

In today's fast-paced world, our lives are characterized by a relentless onslaught of stress and information overload. Whether it's the demands of work, the hustle and bustle of daily life, or the constant barrage of digital screens in our homes and workplaces, we find ourselves immersed in a sea of white light, bombarded with a ceaseless stream of messages and visual stimuli. Commuting through congested traffic or crowded public transportation and working long hours only compound the strain on our bodies and minds.

At The Glasgow Float Centre spa, we offer you the opportunity to escape this chaos and find solace in the healing embrace of our state-of-the-art Orbit Float Tank. Inside a meticulously soundproofed chamber, this cutting-edge unit is filled with approximately a foot of water enriched with a staggering 500kg of Epsom salts. The result is an experience of weightlessness, shielded from the external world for a blissful hour. To enhance your relaxation, you can choose to partake in guided meditations, bask in gentle ambient lighting, or immerse yourself in soothing music. The choice is entirely yours.

Float centers and spas have emerged worldwide due to the remarkable health benefits that floating offers. This experience mimics the closest sensation to being untethered from Earth's gravitational pull, as you lie supine on the therapeutic warmth of these salts. During your float, your spine returns to its natural alignment, while the absence of gravitational pressure grants respite to your joints and bones. This respite often results in a remarkable capacity for the body to regenerate and recuperate, with the therapeutic effects lingering for days after your session. In essence, floating accelerates the body's natural healing processes.

The high magnesium content in the Epsom salts serves as a natural anti-inflammatory agent, providing relief from back pain originating from inflamed muscles and tissues. Pregnant women in their third trimester can also benefit from floating, as it offers relaxation and skin rejuvenation, clearing the pores. Additionally, float therapy has the potential to alleviate various inflammatory skin conditions. Floating promotes vasodilation, allowing blood vessels to expand, leading to improved blood circulation and the reduction of high blood pressure.

The documented reduction in stress and anxiety following regular floating sessions is well-established, with the therapeutic benefits extending for several days post-float.

The sensation of floating is simply transformative – you arrive, submerge, and emerge renewed.
