Sensory Deprivation Float Tank (FloatSpa)
Deep Relaxation for the Body, Mind, and Nervous System
At Thrive Wellness Center, the Sensory Deprivation Float Tank, also known as a FloatSpa, offers a deeply restorative experience designed to calm the nervous system, relieve physical tension, and support mental clarity. By eliminating external stimuli, floating allows the body and mind to fully reset.
A Sensory Deprivation Float Tank, or FloatSpa, is a specially designed pod or room filled with warm water and a high concentration of pharmaceutical-grade Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate). The water is heated to skin temperature, allowing you to float effortlessly while minimizing sensory input such as light, sound, and gravity.
This environment creates a state of deep relaxation where the body and brain can shift out of stress mode and into recovery.
During a float session:
- The body becomes weightless, relieving pressure on joints and muscles
- Sensory input is dramatically reduced
- The nervous system shifts into a parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) state
- Magnesium is absorbed through the skin
- Brain waves slow, promoting deep relaxation and mental clarity
Sessions are gentle, private, and fully customizable to your comfort level.
Many individuals report benefits such as:
- Deep physical and mental relaxation
- Reduced stress, anxiety, and burnout
- Relief from muscle tension and joint discomfort
- Improved sleep quality
- Enhanced mental clarity, creativity, and focus
- Support for nervous system regulation
- Magnesium replenishment
The effects can be immediate and cumulative with regular sessions.

- Experience chronic stress or nervous system overload
- Struggle with sleep or mental fatigue
- Deal with muscle soreness or chronic tension
- Have joint or spinal compression discomfort
