Float therapy offers a unique, tranquil experience, enhancing mental clarity and fostering deep relaxation. It also aids in alleviating physical discomfort, reducing stress, and improving sleep quality, contributing to overall well-being. Located in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, Restorative Massage Therapy provides luxury spa and therapy services. Our services are used to relax and rejuvenate your body and serve your individual needs. A tank of water is filled with inches of water about gallons of water and salt over 1, lb of Epsom Salt Magnesium Sulfate , making the water so dense that your body is unable to sink and floats on the water.
This allows the body to experience sensory deprivation and make the muscles fully relax, an experience that is often compared to experiencing zero gravity. The tank can be made dark or kept well-lit with options for music or silence, customizing the experience to your preferences. However, it is recommended to keep your session dark and quiet in order to experience the benefits of the Float Tank to the fullest extent.
It is recommended you float in the tank without any clothing; however, if you wish to remain covered, a light and clean bathing suit is recommended. When entering the room, the staff member will ask you to shower before you enter the tank, as well as show you how to operate various parts such as the cover, the intercom, the music, etc. This will allow you to customize your experience to your comfort level. The density of the salt water allows your body to float effortlessly, and the temperature of the water is matched closely with the average body temperature between F, which is skin-receptor neutral in order to diminish any separation between the body and the solution of salt water you will be floating in.
This encourages the body to experience sensory deprivation so the mind can be induced into a deeper state of relaxation. Float Tank Therapy is used for a variety of reasons and brings a range of different benefits during the session and lasting affects after the session as well, although you should always consult your healthcare professional prior to know the affects floating will have on you.
The tank water is filtered thoroughly in between every session and all surfaces are wiped down. The salt has natural antibacterial properties as well, killing bacteria in the water even during the sessions. Water goes through UV light between treatments. Hydrogen Peroxide is added daily. Our float water is one of the cleanest body of water you will enter! Levels are checked and documented daily to be kept between 30 ppm ppm range. First time floaters often overcome any fears, concerns, or other anxieties after the first minutes of the session as you grow accustomed to the unique environment and experience.
