Being pregnant is an extraordinary time for a woman. But for many mums-to-be, with the joy and excitement also comes aches and exhaustion. This is why float tank therapy is enjoyed and trusted as a safe and gentle way to reduce pregnancy discomfort and increase relaxation for a beautiful mum-to-be.
Float tanks have been around for decades and are designed to relieve physical and emotional stress. Today float tank therapy is a popular, accessible and gentle therapeutic option, with state-of-the-art float tanks (like ours) allowing you to relax in comfort, convenience and style.
The way float tanks work is by reducing sensory input into your body, both mentally and physically. Filled with 30cm shallow, dense magnesium sulphate solution you float weightlessly facing up—like the Dead Sea—in skin-temperature water. At our centre, you float alone in your own private room and can choose your level of darkness. This quiet and calm environment superbly shuts out the world to relax both body and mind.During pregnancy your body goes through extraordinary changes physically, mentally and emotionally. Floatation therapy is a safe and gentle therapy that can help you through this special time to feel more relaxed, physically rested, and mentally happier. Floating is a beautiful and calming experience—even if you’re not pregnant—with many known benefits, which include:
• Muscle recoveryFloat tank therapy can ease pain and discomfort commonly experienced in pregnancy, and especially in late-term pregnancy. Here’s how:
