At Ultimate Wellness, we have the I-SOPOD leading float tank, the most spacious on the market, enabling you to experience the health benefits of weightlessness in relaxing surroundings.
Float therapy allows you to completely unwind in only a few inches of warm water saturated in medical grade epsom salts. This means you stay afloat in complete safety and in a peaceful, weightless environment which takes the stress off your muscles and joints.
THE HEALING POWER OF WATER
Water has a calming effect. Whether it’s the gentle lapping of the ocean on our feet or the soothing sound of the waves, we instantly feel more relaxed and at one with nature whenever we’re near it.
And now, perhaps more than ever, we’re searching for ways to unwind; to reduce stress, anxiety and the physical effects it can have on our wellbeing.
A series of float sessions at Ultimate Wellness can deliver the healing power of water to help you cope with the demands of modern living.
RESTRICTED ENVIRONMENTAL STIMULATION THERAPY
According to a recent article in Psychology Today, “floatation therapy harnesses the essential power of water and “combines it with the deeply relaxing properties of magnesium, and the calming centering capabilities of restricted environmental stimulation therapy (REST)”.
In our technology-driven world where deadlines must be met and work-life balance is hard to maintain, float therapy is the perfect way to secure some ‘me time’ and regain control.
PAIN MANAGEMENT
Studies have shown that float therapy can provide a welcome relief from many chronic medical conditions such as arthritis, back pain and muscular pain. Here is a quote from one particular study carried out by medical experts in the USA.
”Most of the patients that utilised floatation REST had suffered from chronic pain for longer than six months and floated from one to 16 sessions. Overall, they reported a reduction in pain that averaged 31.3%, with the highest level of relief in the upper back at 63.6%, and the lowest in the legs at 15.3%. This seems to be a clear demonstration that float tanks help with chronic pain”.
SPORTS PERFORMANCE
Float therapy in sport has been well documented in recent years.
Tom Brady, Superbowl champion quarterback with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has long been a devotee of floating as part of his pre-match preparation and post game recovery.
Californian float therapy centre, Just Float, published a highly informative article on top level sportspeople and celebrities who float on a regular basis and why they do it.
