The time to get a real rest in a hectic modern lifestyle may seem like a dream. Our brains are in a frenzy, and our bodies are wound up as we constantly receive loads of information, noise, and demands. But, what about a way of going back to the start, a way proven scientifically to achieve immense mental peace and even physical ease? Here comes the float spa treatment - an exclusive healing practice that has gained tremendous popularity due to its fantastic health benefits.

Welcome to float spa therapy—a calming, weightless experience grounded in science and available right here in Sydney. Whether you're an athlete looking for faster recovery or simply seeking stillness with a loved one, a float session at The Bathhouse can be a powerful addition to your wellness routine.

What Is Float Spa Therapy?

Float spa therapy is a treatment that was first developed in the 1950s by neuroscientist and biologist Dr John C. Lilly under the name REST (Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy). It was a simple yet profound idea: what will the brain do when it is free to focus?

At The Bathhouse, our float therapy rooms are thoughtfully designed to guide your body into this serene, zero-gravity state. With magnesium-rich water, ambient lighting, and a deeply private setting, you'll experience a level of calm unlike anything else.

The science behind it?

• Magnesium is absorbed through the skin, relaxing muscles and calming the nervous system.
• The brain enters a theta wave state, associated with meditation, creative thinking, and emotional clarity.
• The body shifts into parasympathetic mode—our “rest and repair” system—helping reduce cortisol levels and promote recovery.

How Float Spa Therapy Benefits the Body and Mind

The applications of float spas have substantial backing from both clinical research and real-life outcomes.

• Reduced Stress and Mental Burden

Floating increases the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system and reduces stress levels by causing the body to produce less cortisol.

• Alleviating pain and anti-inflammatory behaviour

The effects of the zero-gravity environment positively impact the joints, lower inflammation, and reduce chronic pain, especially by alleviating back pain and muscle tension.

• Improved sleeping, concentration, and creativity

There is also a report on individuals who floated, finding that they slept better, had better mental clarity, and many are more in touch with their creative abilities.

• Magnesium to Recover Muscles

Magnesium is an essential component of muscle mechanics and rehabilitation. The floating aids in the absorption of this crucial mineral, hence its use among athletes and others concerned with fitness.

It is the recovery room or salon where athletes receive massages and some even compete, while people who live with daily stress relax and rejuvenate.

How to Maximise Your Float Spa Benefits

To get the most out of your session:

• Before Your Float

Avoid caffeine and heavy meals. Eat light and hydrate well.

• Mental and Physical Prep

Arrive with an open mind. Relax, breathe deeply, and release your expectations.

• After Floating

Drink water, rest, and if possible, journal your thoughts. The calming effects can linger for hours.

• How Often to Float

Start monthly for maintenance. If you're managing stress or injury, consider floating every 2–3 weeks.

FAQ: Float Spa Therapy Filing Spaces Couples

Q: Is float spa therapy safe for all people?

A: Yes, in general. It is, however, not advisable for people with severe claustrophobia, open wounds, infectious diseases, and certain health conditions such as uncontrolled epilepsy. Never hesitate to consult with your doctor.

Q: What duration does a float spa session take?

A: Most sessions are 60 to 90 minutes plus pre- and post-float showering time.

Q: Is it possible to float in the same tank as couples?

A: A few water flotations provide larger and open pools or a pair of tanks which is especially designed to be used by couples together. They have other rooms that are conducive, where the couple can float alone but still be in the same space. It is always advisable to check with the spa during the booking process to confirm availability.

Q: How frequently do I have to float it to feel the changes?

A: Although even one session of it has its advantages, more frequent floating (e.g., once or twice a month) has cumulative and more lasting effects.

Q: What do I need to bring with me to a float spa?

A: In most of the spas, they give you all the necessary items (towel, earplugs, shampoo). And all you need to bring is yourself. Bring an open mind!
