Floatation pods offer time-out for your bod. In a state of zero gravity, your muscles can fully relax and your aches and pains melt away.
At 35º, with 500kg of Epsom salt, the warm water in the floatation pod emulates a womb; you’ll be floating within a pod that repels all distractions.
This gives your body time to recover from aches and pains associated with many conditions. Here is how a floatation session can benefit those experiencing the following:
Arthritis
Living with the pain of arthritis can result in fatigue and poor mobility. However, with no gravity in these floatation pods, there is no friction on your body. Your joints will be provided with a much-needed break from pain and discomfort, allowing you an hour of respite. Inflammation will reduce thanks to the anti-inflammatory benefits of Epsom salts, and you’ll endure no weight on your joints - allowing you a rare and unique opportunity to recover.
Sports injuries
Studies have shown that using floatation pods as part of your post gym routine or high-sport performances can aid physical recovery. Muscles can unwind and cramps can dissipate, and lactic acid has been seen to reduce. The reduction in inflammation will quicken your body’s recovery, but the act of floating will also help to reduce the likelihood of future injuries occurring as your muscles have time to relax and limber up.
Pregnancy
Not only will floating help you to relax despite the sickness associated with the first trimester, but it’ll greatly benefit your body as your baby grows. Particularly in the third trimester, your body will be heavier with a lot of strain sitting heavily on your hips and back. You’ll likely find total relief in a floatation pod as you drift weightlessly - something you wouldn’t have felt for some time now! It’ll also give you time to bond with Baby and prepare mentally for their arrival. The temperature of the water is within the recommendations advised by the NHS - resembling a warm bath rather than a hot tub.
Stress-related muscle tightness
One of the first things you might notice in a floatation pod is the tightness in your neck, shoulders and back. Knots and stiffness from a stressful day can often present themselves physically once you give your body a chance to relax. However, it won’t take long for your shoulders to drop and your back to relax, allowing your stress and tension headaches or even migraines to melt away.
