A Floatation/Sensory Deprivation studio located in Red Deer, AB. What is Floating?
Floating is a relaxation, rest and recovery therapy achieved by isolating the body from outside influences.
The float tank contains 1000Lbs. of epsom salt saturated in 11" of skin temperature water eliminating the sense of touch. also lightproof and soundproof, the float tank eliminates all distractions.. Gravity and sensory input are almost completely eliminated allowing the floater to fall into a deep state of relaxation. The float tank creates an environment that cannot be found anywhere else on earth.

Blood pressure is lowered and circulation is increased, cortisol (the stress hormone) levels drop while at the same time the brain produces endorphins (our feel good hormones ). Recovery times from joint, muscle, and sports injuries can be greatly reduced. Chronic pain suffers find flotation to be a great form of pain relief alternative to drugs. Pain is often significantly reduced throughout the body and has a lasting effect for several days.

The water and air are maintained at 34°C(93.5°F), after about 10 minutes it becomes difficult to feel which part of the body is in the water and which part of the body is out of the water.

Just 1Hr spent floating is reportedly equivalent to 4hrs deep sleep, you will come out of your float feeling rested, relaxed, and reset.

P.S. (after your float is a wonderful time to get a massage).  

Stepping away from our phones, T.V.'s, social media, and all the other daily distractions allows us time to ourselves without the distraction, which isn't very common in the modern fast paced society we live in today.

"For about 20 minutes, I was pretty bored, but then I started to get a little bit in-tune with my body,” Mendez told FoxNews.com. “I felt very creative afterwards, like I was easily able to solve problems. A lot of times in surgery, what we’re doing is trying to solve problems, and being able to think outside the box and think of new ways to do things is critically important, so it’s helped me in that way.” The Float Shack 403-347-5355 http://www.foxnews.com/health/2017/02/01/how-floating-naked-may-offer-relief-from-pain-stress.html?utm_content=bufferf3bdd&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer

It seemed like only minutes had passed before it was time to end my float. I climbed out of the tank, took another shower to get all the saltiness off my body (including a vinegar rinse to remove any lingering salt from my ears), and got dressed. My limbs felt like Jell-O, but in the best possible way. And I carried that feeling home with me, where I continued to float on (pun intended), feeling calm, relaxed, and centered for a solid two days.
