What is Float Therapy?
A sensory deprivation tank, also called an isolation tank or flotation tank, is used for restricted environmental stimulation therapy (REST). It is a dark, soundproof tank that is filled with a foot or less of salt water. Sensory deprivation tank therapy (float therapy) may support relaxation, improve sleep, and decrease stress, anxiety, and pain. It may have other health benefits as well. The water in a sensory deprivation tank is heated to skin temperature and nearly saturated with Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate), providing buoyancy so you float more easily.
