Power of Floating
What is Float Therapy?
Float therapy (also known as REST – Reduced Environmental Stimulation Therapy) involves floating effortlessly in a solution of water and Epsom salt within a specially designed float pod or room. The high salt concentration creates a zero-gravity environment where you float completely weightlessly, while the water is maintained at skin temperature (93.5°F), blurring the boundary between your body and the water.
Our premium float therapy experience at Float Forty One features:
- State-of-the-art float pods with customizable lighting and music
- 1,000 pounds of premium Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) in each pod
- Advanced water filtration systems that purify the solution between each session
- Private luxury suites with dedicated shower facilities
- Organic body care products and premium amenities

Benefits of Float Therapy
The float environment dramatically reduces external stimuli, allowing your nervous system to enter a deeply relaxed state. This activates your parasympathetic response (“rest and digest” mode), reducing stress hormones like cortisol and promoting the release of endorphins and dopamine. Many clients report that a single hour of floating feels like 4 hours of restorative rest, creating a powerful pause amongst the chaos of daily life.
The weightless environment removes all pressure from muscles and joints, allowing for complete physical relaxation. Meanwhile, the high concentration of magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt) is absorbed through the skin, helping to reduce inflammation, improve muscle function, and alleviate pain. Athletes use floating to speed recovery, while those with chronic pain conditions often experience significant relief. This science-backed approach to recovery is a cornerstone of our human optimization philosophy.
Free from external distractions, your brain can enter theta wave states similar to deep meditation. This creates ideal conditions for clear thinking, problem-solving, and creative insights. Many clients use floating to work through complex problems, enhance learning, or tap into creative flow states that persist after the session. This cognitive enhancement aspect makes float therapy a valuable tool for executives, creatives, and anyone seeking mental optimization.
The deep relaxation achieved during floating helps reset sleep cycles and improve sleep quality. Many clients report sleeping more deeply the night after floating, with effects that can last for several days. Regular floating can be particularly beneficial for those dealing with insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns. Quality sleep is a fundamental pillar of longevity and wellness, making float therapy an excellent investment in your long-term health.
