WHAT IS FLOAT THERAPY?

Float therapy is a world-leading wellness practice where individuals float effortlessly in a large pool filled with highly concentrated epsom salt water. This private, spacious environment minimises sensory input, allowing the mind and body to achieve deep and often life-changing relaxation.

WHAT is FLOAT THERAPY LIKE?

Upon entering a float room, you lie in water heated to skin temperature, creating a sensation of weightlessness. The entire room is designed to limit light and sound, providing a serene atmosphere.

WE DON’t PUT PEOPLE IN TANKS

High performance athletes, leaders and artists have been using float tanks and extreme sensory deprivation as a means of recovery, detoxification, relaxation and unlocking creativity for many years. But many on this list, and many of us, swiped left thanks to one glaring issue… claustrophobia.

If you’re like us, the idea of being trapped inside a tiny tank filled with water is decidedly not relaxing. If anything, it’s more likely to increase anxiety and stress. Ultimately, we identified this gap and set about improving the experience, ensuring everyone can access this life-changing experience in a safe, clean, and spacious environment.

Our Float Pools are the same size as a double bed

FOUR KEY BENEFITS OF FLOAT THERAPY

1. Stress Reduction: The isolation from sensory input helps reduce stress and promote relaxation.

2. Pain Management: The buoyancy of the water alleviates pressure on joints and muscles.

3. Enhanced Creativity and Focus: Many users report improved mental clarity and creativity after sessions.

4. Better Sleep: Regular float therapy can improve sleep quality and help with insomnia.

RELAXATION TIP - Box Breathing

CAN I COMBINE MY FLOAT WITH SOMETHING ELSE?

Float Therapy, Infrared Sauna and our range of Massage Services are all extremely popular on their own, but some of our regular guests have cracked their calm code with a range of unique combinations. At CITYCAVE, you’ll become familiar with terms like Flauna, Flotage and Saunage, all providing unique benefits to deepen your relaxation experience.

Who is float therapy for?

Float therapy is suitable for anyone looking to reduce stress, manage chronic pain, improve mental health, or simply enjoy a unique relaxation experience. Athletes, busy professionals, and individuals with chronic conditions often find significant benefits.

CAN I BRING A PARTNER?

If you’ve Floated before, you’ll know it’s an experience worth sharing. Our Float rooms offer an immersive sensory deprivation experience, offering couples a unique opportunity to build and strengthen their bond in a spacious and safe space of undisturbed serenity. In a world full of noise and distraction, expectation and responsibilities, this opportunity to pause and reset together must not be missed. This shared journey can also be transformative for relationships, helping to activate a wellness mindset, build understanding, and foster emotional intimacy.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I FLOAT?

The frequency of float therapy sessions depends a great deal on individual needs and goals. For general well-being and stress reduction, most of our guests book a session once or twice a month. However we also have a range of guests who opt for weekly sessions to combat chronic pain, high stress levels and a range of specific conditions.
