Floataway (Bury St Edmunds)
Wouldn't it be lovely to feel all of life's stresses floating away? The new FloatawayTM Floatation Centre, in the heart of Bury St. Edmunds, brings stress relief and a wonderful relaxation experience to all visitors.
Floating reaches the deepest level of relaxation. After only 20 minutes in your own private float bath your brain begins to send out endorphins. Floaters can reach the same level of profound relaxation achieved by skilled meditators.
Finding the time to truly relax is rare, but Floataway's large, private, skin temperature heated baths provide the perfect place to experience deep relaxation.
The water in each bath is filled with purest quality Epsom Salt (Magnesium Sulphate) which, unlike sea salt, leaves no wrinkles on your skin however long you float and is very good for your skin, leaving it silky smooth at the end of a session. In fact, magnesium can be absorbed through the skin, correcting a common deficiency and providing wide ranging benefits. The density is 25% greater than water so you float like a cork.
Floataway has pioneered couple floating, so if you'd prefer, you can to share the experience, and take advantage of all its benefits, with a friend or partner. Their large Cabin for Two enables you to float together and has full standing height along with lighting and music.
Floatation therapy can improve your performance in sports and at work, and alternatively can be used to overcome insomnia. Fortunately Floataway Floatation Centre is open seven days a week from 10am till 10pm, ready to help you through any part of the day.
You float in your own private room with a shower, and receive detailed information before your first float. At the end of your 50 minutes float session there is a comfortable relaxation space where you will be served a drink to get you ready for normal life again.
Don't worry about getting claustrophobic - in the single floatation pods you can float the entire time with the door open if you wish, and with the lights on, and you have full control of the motorised door. You can also choose to have music played inside the float tank, and choose whether to fade it away or to have music all through the session.
Floatation therapy is such a simple idea that some of the benefits seem too good to be true. But they are real, and scientific research has validated the health giving and performance enhancing effects. Just a few of the conditions known to be improved by floating are: stress relief, muscular pain, fertility, high blood pressure, Migrain headache, jet lag, anxiety, insomnia, back pain and depression.
Reduce Pain
Floating really is a pain reduction technique, thanks to our natural response to relaxation. Our bodies have amazing powers of recuperation and we just need the chance to relax to let these powers work. The bodies' natural painkillers are called endorphins, a class of hormones. The deep relaxation created by floating stimulates blood flow through all the tissues, and natural pain-killing endorphins are released.
Floating is a perfectly still experience with no contact points, no movement, and no postural muscle action, making it a very good cure for back pain. The release of endorphins to kill pain is a completely natural and powerful effect working alongside natural healing and repair processes.
Overcome Insomnia
Floating will reduce stress and give your body a chance to sleep.
A major cause of insomnia is stress, and being deprived of sleep causes yet more stress. Many people fall asleep in a float session. It's perfectly safe and natural. Just one float session can break a long pattern of bad sleep, because one good night's sleep will lead to another.
If you want the opportunity to use floating to promote sleep, why not book an evening float session? Floataway Floatation Centre is open until 10pm so you can relax and be ready for a good night's sleep.
Promote Fertility
It is said one couple in seven has problems when they try for a baby. There are many reasons, but one of the most important is also one Floataway can help with - stress.
Floatation therapy is the most powerful stress relief technique known. For fertility treatment, Floataway recommends for women a course of ten floats in a month, approximately every two to three days right through the fertile period. The degree of relaxation achieved is wonderful and will of course benefit you in many ways, but if stress is the principal cause of your failure to conceive, then floating really is the best treatment.
For centuries people have used the water of the Dead Sea to recuperate and cure pain, so take the opportunity to benefit from this ancient means of relaxation, right in the heart of Bury St Edmunds.
