Dry Floatation Therapy

If you are looking for an effortless way to achieve stress and anxiety relief, the Soft Pack Dry Floatation Therapy is an alternative treatment for significant health benefits without the inconvenience of being submerged into a tank. This treatment was developed over 40 years ago with a medical team of rheumatologists.

The benefits of the dry floatation treatment on your musculoskeletal system are felt instantly, making this therapy a favorite for those suffering from painful muscles and joints or other rheumatic diseases.

Athletes who participate in high-impact sports, runners and cyclists, will feel how beneficial dry floatation can be during pre and post exercise by shortening the recovery time from exercise. An increase of the natural production of endorphins reduces blood pressure and improves circulation. Dry floatation can reduce chronic pain especially after multiple dry floatation therapy sessions.

What is Dry Floatation Therapy?

During a Dry Floatation Therapy session, you will lie floating while gently cradled by a dry warm membrane while experiencing a sensation of weightlessness and remaining completely dry. The dry floatation experience adapts ideally to the body, providing relief for the entire supporting system and catering for an ergonomically perfect position of the spine.
Your dry floating experience session starts with a selection of preferences from deeply relaxing music, frankincense essential oil, weighted eye mask and a choice of upgrade of a scalp massage or foot massage while floating.

Benefits for the Body and Mind

Benefits for the Body

Relief of muscular and joint pain. Floatation makes your body light, eliminating your weight, so relieving pain within the inflamed painful areas, allowing for a faster and easier recovery.

Relaxes your spine. Floatation leads to joint realignment at spine level. While in a supine position, your individual vertebrae relax and so will tense muscles.

It reduces swelling. Floatation frees your body from any touch point; peripheral circulation improves to support the reduction in oedema, especially in the legs and feet.

Improves blood and lymphatic circulation.

Speeds up muscle recovery especially after injury recovery.

Benefits for the mind

Relief from anxiety. Stress related conditions are measured through the level of cortisol in your blood. During floatation it is reduced by half by all the physiological benefits of dry floatation.

A mood enhancer – psychological well-being
