The World’s Most Advanced Float Tank, Exclusively at Floasis

Floasis is the only float center in Georgia to feature FloatSPA float cabins, the only sensory deprivation tanks in the world that empty between each guest for unrivaled cleanliness. The FloatSPA drains the solution after each guest and passes it through a 3 filter process plus a UV sterilization light, assuring a guaranteed fresh float every time.

 

 Why Float?

Calm Your Mind

The floating environment eliminates as much external stimulation as possible, allowing your nervous system to take a break. You’re constantly being over-stimulated, so your system rarely experiences the calm that floating provides. Floating has been proven to induce states of extreme relaxation with lasting effects. Studies have shown that the participants who used float tanks saw a significant reduction in stress, depression, and anxiety over the control group. The float tank users also reported increased energy, better sleep, as well as an overall feeling of optimism.

Relieve Chronic Pain

The dense Epsom salt solution eliminates the stress of gravity on your body, giving you the experience of weightlessness. Your muscular, skeletal, circulatory and nervous systems rest in a zero-gravity environment, allowing your spine to realign and decompress, your muscles to relax, and your body to function more efficiently. Float therapy has been proven to reduce pain from arthritis, sciatica, fibromyalgia, back pain, neck pain, tendinitis, bursitis, and overall inflammation.

Sleep Better

Sleep is vitally important for health, but Americans are getting less sleep than ever before. Sleep loss or chronic sleep disruption of the circadian rhythm can affect stress levels, metabolism, immune function, and a number of physiological processes. Much like sleeping, while you float there is a sensory disconnection with minimal external stimuli. In this intensely relaxed state, the brain mimics various stages of sleep, while helping restore the effects of sleep deprivation.

Creativity

In a float tank your mind is free to explore thoughts and ideas without any external distractions. A handful of studies have found that people who float experience an increase in original thought, imagination, and intuition. Comedian Joe Rogan (shout out) says, “ The sensory deprivation chamber is the most important tool I’ve ever used for developing my mind, for thinking, for evolving”. Say no more.

Deeper Meditation

A Harvard affiliated research team at Massachusetts General Hospital determined that after only a few weeks of practice, meditation correlated with decreased gray-matter in the amygdala, which is known to play an important role in anxiety and stress. The study also found increased gray-matter density in the hippocampus, known to be important for memory and learning, and in structures associated with self-awareness, compassion, and introspection. Float tanks are the fast track to a deep meditative state. Without the influence of gravity, sound, or light, you will quickly achieve a state where the brain induces theta state brain waves while still awake.

Sports Performance

Floating maximizes the benefits of fitness training, exercise, and workouts. Although exercise stimulates muscle growth, the growth occurs during relaxation 30-40 minutes after exercise. The deep relaxation of floating improves blood circulation, promotes the elimination of lactic acid, and accelerates the growth and regeneration of muscle tissue. Many professional athletes and athletic clubs are using float therapy for recovery and a competitive edge.

 

Floatation Therapy

Floatation therapy was created by Neurophysicist Dr. John C. Lilly over 60 years ago while doing research on brain waves and altered states of consciousness. The therapy involves lying in a floatation tank that is filled with over 200 gallons of water, which is warmed to your skin’s temperature, at a depth of 12 inches. Dissolved in the water is 1200 pounds of pharmaceutical-grade Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate). This extremely dense solution enables people of all body types to float effortlessly and escape the pull of gravity. 

The sensory deprivation tank is designed to eliminate all outside distractions, so you feel like you're floating in space, losing track of where your body ends and the water begins. Once you are settled in the tank, it’s virtually impossible to distinguish between parts of the body that are in contact with the water, and those that aren’t, in effect tricking the brain into believing that you are floating freely in mid-air. The reduced stimulation provided by the float pod refocuses the individual’s attention to internal stimuli.

At first this includes the novel sensations of floating effortlessly in darkness and quiet, but slowly both mind and body are led towards a deep state of relaxation. This relaxation is augmented by the full body absorption of magnesium from the water that elicits the release of muscle tension.

As physical sensations become less noticeable, thoughts can become more noticeable. Eventually even the parade of thoughts subsides and the mind enters a deep meditative state. 

Floatation therapy has been academically studied in the USA and in Sweden with published results showing reduction of both pain and stress. At the moment there have been 80+ studies done on the benefits of floating. It is recommended to float three to five times to initially understand the process of floatation and begin to reap its long-term advantages. The benefits are cumulative, which explains why floatation devotees incorporate floating as part of their rest and recovery routines.
