Welcome to Floatation
Therapy at Natural Earth |
Floatation Therapy is a form of natural health and
healing therapy that aims to promote natural health- it is considered
an alternative and natural treatment used to enhance a happy and healthy
lifestyle.
 What
is floatation therapy?
* Floatation is a method of rest.
* It consists of floating in a 10 inch solution of epsom salts.
* The solution is maintained at normal skin temperature of 93.5
degrees Celsius.
* The buoyancy of the salts solution allows your body to be supported
on the surface of the water giving the impression of zero gravity.
* After floating you emerge refreshed and relaxed both physically
and mentally.
 What
are its natural health and healing benefits?
* Floating takes the pressure off tired and sore joints and muscles.
It increases blood circulation which can accelerate healing.
* Relaxed muscles are likely to heal faster than tired, tight and
knotted muscles.
* Floatation can help reduce pain, help backache and muscle injuries
and relieve stress and anxiety that often accompanies and injury.
* The athlete emerges from the floatation pod alert but in a state
of deep relaxation. The effects can last anywhere from a few hours
to a few days.

What is involved?
* Sessions usually last about an hour. The athlete will shower
before entering a floatation tank. Place earplugs in the ears to
prevent salt water getting into the ear and crystallizing.
* The lid of the floatation tank can be left open or closed and
lights can be on or off.
* The athlete will simply lie back and due to the salt water (just
like the Dead Sea) they will float along the surface of the water.
* Music can be played or just left silent leaving the athlete to
concentrate on relaxing.
 How
can it help with sport and injury rehabilitation?
* Sports psychologists are aware of the benefits of regular relaxation.
it balances the autonomous nervous system, reduces stress and anxiety
and with practice can be applied to sports specific situations to
enhance performance.
* Just like training, the ability to relax improves with practice.
Regular relaxation will mean the athlete is more likely to be able
to relax faster and more deeply than on the first occasion.
