How does flotation therapy work?

During these therapeutic sessions—the first of which dates back to the 1950s—each client lies in a flotation pod. Here, they float in extremely buoyant salt-infused water. The float session is for 90 minutes, but people are actually floating for between 60 and 75 minutes.

What kind of float pods does Float Halifax use?

Float Halifax is home to four Float Pod flotation tanks, which feature pressurized filtration systems and Theta Wave Heater technology ensure water is sanitary and heated to the body's natural temperature. The pod also feature music docks, two-way intercom systems, and multicolored LED lights.

Why do people engage in flotation therapy?

Clients have a variety of reasons for using flotation therapy, ranging from pain and stress relief to improved mental clarity. Floating's other potential benefit include increased endorphin production and improved sleep, circulation, and immune function.
