Floating in a tank of water. Naked. In the Dark. 

It sounds a little crazy but it can be the most relaxing thing in the world!

Floatation therapy is the process of floating in a sensory deprivation tank full of body temperature water with hundreds of pounds of salt dissolved in it. The tank is dark and quiet but you can have music playing if you want to. With no sensory input, not even gravity, you are able to fully relax your mind and body more deeply than other types of relaxation techniques. 

Floating allows you to really get away and have some me time. You’re completely alone in the tank where you won’t be interrupted by emails or texts or kids or work. It helps relieve stress and anxiety, muscle pain and fatigue, joint pain and inflammation. It can slow your heart rate, help you sleep better and relieve headaches.

Light Side Floats, located at 8420 Gas House Pike, Suite D, is a beautiful, welcoming environment. Don’t worry if you’re a first time floater, the staff will walk you through every step of the process so you feel completely comfortable. You can book your appointment right on the website for convenience and there’s even a short video on their website to help you through the first time before you get there.

Staff can control the lights in your room from the outside so they never have to enter your room and your privacy is maintained. Turning your lights on is how they indicate that your time is up. When you’re finished with your float, enjoy a shower with unscented, organic shampoo and body wash provided right in your float room. You then have access to a grooming room where you can fix your hair or makeup. You can also relax in the Whisper Lounge with a cup of tea in a cushy chair to enjoy your post-float relaxation and gradually get back to the world. You can take as much time as you need. The staff won’t hustle you out the door.

Light Side Floats also offers hydro massage and infrared saunas as separate options or part of a float package to round out and optimize your relaxation. If you plan to float regularly, join the Float Club for added benefits and discounts. Check them out today!
