Pain that doesn’t quit deserves more than one float.
Pain relief builds session by session. Start a package of 3, 5, or 10 floats and give your body the consecutive rest it needs to actually feel different.

Relief compounds. So should your visits.
A single float feels great. Consecutive floats change how your body carries pain. That’s why we build our chronic-pain protocol around packages, not one-offs — each session lowers your baseline a little further.
Pain you’ve carried for years. Gone in one hour.
Eleven independent research studies across five countries have confirmed the same result: float therapy produces clinically significant pain relief. No medication. No procedure. Just 60 minutes of complete weightlessness.

Your Pain Profile
Float therapy has been studied across every major chronic pain condition. Find yours.
The research spans chronic muscle pain, fibromyalgia, stress-induced pain, and athletic recovery — independent labs, consistent results.
Chronic back and muscle pain: gravity was the problem all along.
Chronic back and muscle pain is maintained by a feedback loop: tension causes pain, pain causes tension. The float pod removes the gravitational compression that forces muscles to work constantly, even at rest. Suspended in 1,000 pounds of Epsom salt, your spine decompresses, your muscles fully release — some for the first time in years.
The Karst et al. RCT (JAMA Network Open, 2021) measured Widespread Pain Index, which maps how many body regions are actively painful. After a single session, the average floater lost 2 full pain regions.
The Science of Less Pain
Pain is a nervous system signal.
The pod changes what the system signals.
Float therapy doesn’t mask pain. It addresses three of the four root mechanisms that sustain chronic pain — simultaneously, in a single session.
01 · Zero Gravity
Your joints and muscles decompress completely — something that never happens on land.
Even lying down, gravity compresses your spine, loads your joints, and requires your muscles to fire. In the float pod, 1,000 pounds of Epsom salt creates a density that completely counteracts gravity. Your spine elongates. Your hip flexors release. Your shoulders drop. For 60 minutes, every structure in your body operates at zero compressive load.
02 · Magnesium
The anti-inflammatory mineral your muscles have been waiting for, absorbed directly.
Magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt) is a natural muscle relaxant and anti-inflammatory agent. In the float pod, it’s delivered transdermally across 60 uninterrupted minutes — directly into the muscles that need it. Magnesium blocks calcium channels that drive muscle contraction, reduces the production of inflammatory cytokines, and restores the cellular conditions for full muscular recovery.
03 · Cortisol Shutdown
The stress hormone that amplifies pain signals gets cut off at the source.
Chronic pain and chronic stress share the same amplification system: elevated cortisol sensitizes pain receptors, making existing signals louder and new signals arrive more easily. Float therapy breaks this loop — cortisol drops measurably during the session, nociceptive thresholds rise, and the nervous system stops broadcasting pain at maximum volume.
What is Float Therapy?
Complete weightlessness. For 60 minutes. Your body does the rest.
Floating is effortless — no swimming, no movement, no technique required. Over 1,000 pounds of Epsom salt dissolves into 10 inches of skin-temperature water, creating a buoyancy so complete that every muscle in your body can release simultaneously.
No gravity. No compression. No effort. The conditions that sustain most forms of chronic pain simply cease to exist for an hour — and your body uses that hour.
- Skin-temperature water — no thermal sensation, no shivering, complete muscle release
- 1,000 pounds of Epsom salt — magnesium absorbed transdermally throughout the session
- Private pod, private suite — no one watching, no performance required
- Triple-filtered between every session — hospital-grade water standards
Reported pain level by float
Most floaters go from noticeable pain to mild or none within just a few sessions.
