Floatation Tank / Sensory Deprivation Tank
Floatation tank
No Gravity, No Touch, No Sound & No Sight
Your Polarbrite floatation experience will give you the ability to refocus, relax and drift off into a meditative state of mind. By entering a sensory deprived environment, your floatation session can help you reset and improve your mental and physical well-being.
With no external stimuli coming in, your brain stops worrying about all the background tasks that usually keep it occupied. Deadlines, anxiety and stress begin to fade away.
As a result, your fight-or-flight response gets to take a break so your body lowers the production of adrenaline and cortisol. Studies show signs that your dopamine and endorphin levels rise, giving you a natural mood high that often lasts for days.
Physiological Benefits

- Pain reduction (ex: rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, muscle/joint tension, headaches, back injury, autoimmune disorders)
- Muscle and joint repair and recovery post injury
- Anti-gravity environment reduces sensation of physical strain on body
- Improves quality of skin / detoxification
- Lowers blood pressure and heart rate
- Increases immune system functioning
Psychological Benefits
Floatation Therapy For Improved Mental State
Floating helps to release deep muscular tension; this starts a chain reaction that spreads through the body to every organ, tissue and cell.
- Blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension and oxygen consumption (cell metabolism) return to healthy levels. In addition, quantities of harmful stress-induced hormones such as cortisol are reduced in the bloodstream, enhancing emotional wellbeing.
- The level of T-cells rises in the bloodstream, strengthening the immune system. Lastly, the brain releases several endorphins as it relaxes deeply into the theta state, relieving fatigue and chronic pain.
- Decrease anxiety and stress
- Assists with behaviour modification (ex: quitting addictions)
- Release of endorphins
- Introspection
- Improved cognitive functioning and mental clarity
- Improved sleep

Epsom Salt
Epsom salt is not true salt. Epsom salt does not flavour food and does not contain sodium.
Epsom salt it is used for medical and relaxation purposes, such as soothing overworked muscles. It is a compound of magnesium and sulphate. Epsom salt can flush toxins from the body and produce proteins in joints and brain tissue. The extra proteins often help heal injuries and improve cognition, memory, and concentration.
Epsom salt is used in floatation tanks to facilitate buoyancy and enhance sensory deprivation. The relative density of Epsom salt in a tank is about 1.25, which helps you feel weightless and keeps your nose and mouth above the water so you can breathe easily.
When you float in a tank filled with Epsom salt, you will replenish the magnesium naturally occurring in your body. Magnesium regulates many biochemical reactions and plays a role in over 300 natural bodily functions. Regular floating sessions can protect you from the physical pain and complications associated with magnesium deficiency.
