Benefits of Floating

Floating for:

Mental Benefits

Floating for:

Improved Physical Health

Floating for:

Stress Relief

Float tank therapy reduces cortisol production, which helps to alleviate stress. The total relaxation is also an excellent salve for anxiety and depression as floating in the magnesium sulphate-enriched, 36°C water causes an increase in the production of dopamine and endorphins.

After just one float tank therapy experience you will feel more youthful and better able to deal with the stressors of daily life. The more regularly you float, the more significant the benefits.

Floating for:

Back & Neck Pain

Suffering from neck, back, or shoulder pain can be a very debilitating experience, and with modern work environments requiring many hours behind a desk, it’s become a very common issue. Several other factors could contribute to chronic neck and back pain, including sports or other injuries, atrophying of muscles over time, or calcium degradation of bones. Stress or suffering from anxiety and emotional tension also causes muscles to tense up and cause strain on supporting nerves, resulting in severe pain. 

While there are several options available to treat and manage the pain of musculoskeletal injury or degeneration, introducing non-invasive treatment in the form of salt tank float sessions can make a tremendous difference to regaining quality of life. Floatation therapy in Perth provides neck and back pain relief Perth.

Fitness Recovery

Floating for:

Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a medical condition that causes widespread chronic pain relief, muscle pain, back pain & tenderness, increased sensitivity, disordered sleep, memory impairment and emotional distress.

The Fibromyalgia Support Network of Western Australia (http://www.fibronetwork.org.au/fibromyalgia/treatments.html) recognises that non-drug treatment options are quite often of greater benefit to people with fibromyalgia than medications, and floatation therapy is emerging as an effective non-drug treatment. The Fibromyalgia Flotation Project (http://fibromyalgiaflotationproject.com/) documents research and case studies that demonstrate the evidence that floatation can significantly improve the lives of people with fibromyalgia, recognising that the major symptoms of fibromyalgia are matched by the benefits of floatation therapy.

Benefits of Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna

Floating for:

Heart Health

Using a sauna on a regular basis as part of a healthy lifestyle can offer significant benefits for heart health. The heat generated in an infrared sauna enhances blood circulation, similar to the effects of moderate exercise, thereby improving cardiovascular functioning. This increased blood flow helps reduce blood pressure, lowers the risk of cardiovascular diseases, arthritis, and enhances heart rate variability, which is an important measure of heart health and stress response. These therapeutic effects collectively contribute to a healthier cardiovascular system and overall heart wellness.

Sauna for:

Exercise Performance

Boost your endurance performance with regular infrared sauna usage. Infrared sauna sessions can be a valuable tool for boosting exercise performance. The heat exposure aids in improving circulation and increasing blood flow to muscles, which can enhance endurance and reduce muscle fatigue. Regular sauna use can also lead to adaptations like increased plasma volume and improved thermoregulatory mechanisms, which can significantly enhance overall athletic performance. Frequent sauna sessions may also substantially augment the benefits of physical activity and assist those who are unable to meet physical activity guidelines or are unable to exercise at all because of physical activity limitations.

Sauna for:

Pain & Mobility

Full spectrum infrared saunas warm up your body to ease your pain. They offer a therapeutic approach to managing pain and improving mobility. The deep heat effectively reduces muscle tension and joint stiffness, providing relief from chronic pain conditions such as arthritis and fibromalgia. Enhanced circulation from the heat therapy also aids in reducing inflammation and promoting healing, which can improve joint mobility and flexibility. Regular use of an infrared sauna can thus be a beneficial adjunct in pain management and in maintaining and improving range of motion and overall physical function.

Sauna for:

Muscle Recovery

Whether you’re a professional athlete or a hobby gymnast, recovery is key for a better performance. Infrared saunas play a pivotal role in enhancing muscle recovery, particularly after intense physical activity. The penetrating infrared heat helps to relax muscles, alleviate stiffness and reduce soreness, DOMS, and swelling after strength and endurance training by increasing blood circulation, which facilitates the transport of essential nutrients and oxygen to tired muscles. This improved blood flow also aids in the efficient removal of metabolic waste products like lactic acid, accelerating the recovery process and reducing the downtime between workouts.

Sauna for:

Immunity

Regular sauna sessions can have a positive impact on the immune system. The heat generated during a session elevates the body’s core temperature, mimicking a fever-like state, which is a natural immune response to infection. This induced hyperthermic condition can stimulate and strengthen the immune system, increasing the production of white blood cells and antibodies. Additionally, the detoxification process, facilitated by intense sweating, helps to rid the body of toxins and pathogens, further bolstering the body’s immune defences and resilience against illness.

Sauna for:

Detoxification

Full spectrum infrared saunas facilitate detoxification at a cellular level by inducing a deep sweat where toxins can be expelled directly through the pores. The infrared wavelengths penetrate the skin, stimulating the sweat glands and increasing circulation, thereby aiding the body in the natural process of removing impurities and flushing out harmful toxins. This enhanced detoxification process, triggered by the increased metabolic rate and core temperature, helps in efficiently eliminating heavy metals and chemical toxins, leading to improved overall health and vitality.

Sauna for:

Skin Health

Regular sessions in your sauna contribute positively to skin health by promoting circulation, which enhances the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the skin, fostering a healthy, natural glow. The deep sweating achieved in an infrared sauna helps to clear pores, reduce blemishes, and remove dead skin cells, resulting in clearer, softer, and healthier-looking skin. Additionally, the increased blood flow and elimination of toxins can aid in reducing the signs of ageing, such as wrinkles and fine lines, by encouraging the production of collagen and elastin, vital proteins for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness.

Sauna for:

Stress and Fatigue

Exposure to the gentle, enveloping heat of an infrared sauna has been shown to significantly alleviate stress and fatigue. The soothing warmth activates the body’s parasympathetic nervous system, inducing a state of deep relaxation and stress reduction. Furthermore, as the body’s core temperature rises, endorphin levels increase, providing a natural, therapeutic effect that combats fatigue, enhances mood, and promotes a sense of calm and well-being..

Sauna for:

Longevity

Making sauna bathing part of your regular routine can assist longevity by offsetting effects of inflammation and promoting overall health and wellness. The deep heating effect of the sauna has been linked to enhanced cellular repair and reduced oxidative stress, two factors that are crucial in slowing down the ageing process. Regular sauna use can also stimulate heat shock proteins, which are known to play a role in longevity by repairing damaged proteins and protecting cells from stress. By improving cardiovascular health, aiding in detoxification, and reducing chronic inflammation, infrared saunas can support a healthier, longer life, aligning with practices that promote longevity.

Frequently asked questions

“Claustrophobia” is the #1 mis-conception about floating in a pod. You CAN float with the lid open!

Many people who initially express a fear of small spaces feel much better once they know they control the entire process. Their fears subside and the vast majority will go on to close the lid and turn off the light! Use the tank in the way which is most comfortable for you.

If you want to stop you can do so at any time!
You control the lighting and music
You open and close the door whenever you want
You can float with the door open!
You are always in control of the environment

Yes, it can be. Recently coloured rinses, hair dyes, colour-depositing shampoos and spray-on tans can run into the salt solution. This can damage our tanks, and ruin your hair. We would suggest not floating within a week of having your hair dyed OR having a spray-on tan.

*Note – gift certificates and/or float credits may be forfeited if bookings are not cancelled 24hrs prior to reserved sessions.

No – most people do not use earplugs when they float. Generally speaking, floating with your head under water is no different than swimming in a swimming pool or in the ocean. Unless you suffer from ‘swimmers ear’ or another similar condition, ear plugs are not required.

For those customers who do have issues with water in their ear, we do recommend purchasing a set of our re-usable silicone ear plugs for $2.00 (inc. GST) from our studio reception prior to floating. Earplugs are individually packaged for ease of re-use.

The WA Health Department requires all customers to have a shower prior to entering the float pod for hygiene purposes. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee the cleanliness of dreadlock hair, hair in thick braids or hair extensions as this could potentially damage the filtration systems and/or the magnesium content in our pods – and because of this health reason, customers with dreadlocks, thick braids or unclean hair extensions cannot float at Salt.

*Note: customers with recently dyed hair are also not able to float as this can discolour our Mg salts in the float pods. We ask that you kindly wait 7-10 days after any recent hair dye to book in with us 😉

You should avoid shaving or waxing before your float session – usually 12-24 hours is sufficient. Remember, you’re floating in SALT 😉

We provide the essentials: organic body wash, shampoo & conditioner, moisturiser, cotton buds, ear plugs, hairdryer and towels. You are welcome to bring other personal items.

Most people don’t wear anything when they float to avoid distraction from the feeling of fabric (you should remove all make-up as well) . Each room is completely private, including a private shower ~ though you can wear a swimsuit if you prefer.

Your float session will last one hour. We request that you arrive 10-15 minutes early and encourage you to relax in the lounge afterwards, to really get the most from your experience before stepping back into your busy day.

YES – you can change your appointment by either phoning our studio or logging on to your account. We always ask that changes to bookings are done with a minimum of 24 hours notice (especially on weekends) to allow customers on our waitlist to fill those session times. Charges/gift card redemption may occur for late cancellations, changes or ‘No Show’s’. Please see our full Cancellation & Refund Policy at the bottom of our Pricing page.

We adhere to an extremely strict set of testing protocols by the WA Health Department. The water is tested every day for hygiene, specific gravity, pH balancing, sterilisation, temperatures. Our specially designed filters are capable of screening the water down to as little as 1 micron (100th the size of a hair). The entire contents of the tank are flushed through and filtered 4 complete volumes of water between every customer (plus the 1,000 litres of water goes through 16 filters during this process!) The WA Health Department regularly visits us for water samples and to inspect the overall hygiene of our pods & pod rooms.

Fresh water is added daily to top up the pods and the Salt Concentration alone will kill almost everything! Regular disinfection cycles do the rest!

Yes, simply bring in your mobile phone with your favourite guided meditation, new music album, audio book or podcast on it and we can easily play this directly into your private pod. You control the content and the volume the whole time!

New for students: record up to 60 minutes of your study notes on your mobile phone and listen to your own playback during your float without any distractions! This is becoming a popular ‘secret tool’ for students studying prior to exams or for professionals preparing for a job interview! Salt Float Studio is the only place in Perth where you can do this!

Feel free to contact us for further info.

People who are used to meditating are going to love floating. You will find that you adapt within one or two floats. Those unaccustomed to spending time with their own thoughts and inner reflection will normally take three to five floats to feel completely relaxed and at ease. Your experience improves with each float!
We do not recommend it. Initially they can be a nuisance and therefore a distraction. Also, if you do happen to get salt in your eyes (rare but can happen) you will struggle to clear your eyes with contacts in.

Yes! This is very popular for pregnant Mum’s-to-be! Research suggests that floating is good for you and the baby. Especially in later stages of pregnancy. The buoyant environment allows you to escape many of the discomforts of pregnancy. A float session makes a great baby shower gift!

Salt Float Studio even has pool noodles which allow Mum to float safely on her stomach!

We recommend against floating during the first trimester, and as with most activities, we do recommend checking with your doctor first.

If you’re menstruating, please take the same precautions while floating as you would if you were in a swimming pool.

It is very common for 2 people to book a Float-with-a-Friend for $65 each at the same time at our studio. This involves each person floating in their own private pod room. You will both check-in & out at the same time but will enjoy the quietness of your Dreampod.

*Floating with another person in the same pod will defeat the purpose of ‘sensory deprivation’ because they will effectively ADD sensory input towards you every time they move, speak or even breathe inside the pod – and so this is why SALT does not allow 2 people to float at the same time.

No, this is a personal preference. We would suggest the first couple of times you float that you wear them, and once you are used to it you can decide for yourself.

We suggest a light meal approximately 1.5 hours prior to your session.

We advise against drinking caffeine (energy drinks or coffee) and preferably no alcohol prior to a float session. We recommend drinking a small glass of water before your float.

Ok, here is the legal disclaimer bit: To float you must;

  • Read, understand and agree to our terms and conditions
  • Read and understood all the FAQs
  • Be able to climb in and out of the tank unaided (this is no more difficult than climbing into a bath)
  • Not be under the influence of drugs, alcohol or illegal substances

You must not use the floatation tank if you:

  • Suffer from incontinence, nausea, epilepsy or psychotic episodes
  • Have a history of regular ear infections
  • Have been medically advised not to float
  • Have open or bleeding wounds
  • Have an acute skin condition
  • Have a pacemaker or have a serious heart condition
  • Have a recent spray-on tan
Anyone who floats regularly will tell you how blissfully comfortable and deeply relaxed they feel whilst floating. You’re as close as you’re ever likely to be to an experience of weightlessness; and, surprisingly, there is no feeling of being confined in a tight space. You can get out anytime. There are no latches on the tank door and you control your experience. That said, the 1-hour float will go by quickly and we recommend staying in the pod for the entire session to experience the full effects of floating.
Yes, of course. The pods are fully ventilated and fresh air is continually flowing into the pods.
That’s OK. Floating is as easy as taking a bath. You just step in, sit down, and lay back. You can touch the bottom with your hands as the water is only 30cm deep. There is no skill required, you just let the salty water do the work – you’ll actually float like a cork and it doesn’t matter what shape or size you are.
No. The water is very shallow and is much heavier than ordinary water because of the quantity of Epsom salt. You float on your back with absolutely no effort and there is no tendency to roll over. People often sleep in float tanks and there is no risk of rolling over even if you are asleep.
Falling asleep is not a problem – if anything, falling asleep will only prove that you have been in a heightened state of relaxation. At the end the session the music and light will come on and wake you peacefully. If you fall into a really deep sleep the water will start circulating 5 mins after the end of the session. Don’t just think of your ‘float session’ as being limited to the 60 minutes at Salt Float Studio; it is how you feel immediately after, how you sleep, how you feel the morning after and how you perceive your world and the life around you for the next week following your salty float experience!
No. Even if you fall completely asleep (which is common) you will continue to float on top of the water. Remember, our salty water solution removes over 80% of the force of gravity so you will always stay afloat! The sensation of effortlessly floating is difficult to describe until you experience it! Think about a cork bobbing in the ocean.
