What is Float Therapy?
Float therapy, also called REST (Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy) or sensory deprivation, lets you float weightless in warm, magnesium-rich Epsom-salt water inside a private float tank.
- Also known as REST/sensory deprivation
- Private float/isolation tank with near zero-gravity buoyancy
- Helps with stress relief, muscle recovery, and deeper sleep
- Clean, private suites at The Recovery Room, Cookeville, TN
How Sensory Deprivation Tanks Work
Each float begins with a quick shower before you step into skin-temperature water infused with Epsom salt. The buoyancy makes you effortlessly weightless, lifting pressure from your spine and joints. In the stillness and dark, your nervous system settles into deep REST. Stress fades, tension melts, and you emerge lighter, calmer, and refreshed.
- Epsom-salt solution creates effortless float
- Light/sound reduction calms the brain (the goal of REST)
- Spine and joints decompress; tight muscles relax
Benefits Of Float Therapy
Float Therapy shifts your body into the parasympathetic “rest-and-digest” state. Studies show it lowers cortisol, eases anxiety and pain, improves sleep, and boosts mobility. Weightlessness decompresses joints, relaxes muscles, and speeds recovery. Weekly sessions compound these results.
Speed Recovery
Float therapy eases tight muscles and accelerates recovery with zero-gravity support .
Full-Body Relaxation
Floating reduces sensory input and creates the perfect space for full body relaxation.
Better Sleep Quality
Float therapy promotes better sleep by regulating your circadian rhythm through tranquility.
Lower Stress & Anxiety
The total sensory silence of float therapy lets you slip into a calm state easily retraining your brain.
Reduce Inflammation
Weightless immersion in magnesium‑rich water reduces inflammation associated with chronic illness.
Boost Circulation
Float therapy is known to lower blood pressure and boost circulation, delivering oxygen to sore muscles for quicker recovery.
Ways to Elevate Your Float
Contrast Therapy
Elevate your float by pairing it with contrast therapy, boosting circulation, deepening recovery, and leaving your body fully refreshed.
Sensory Reset
By removing all outside distractions, sensory deprivation allows your mind and body to fully reach a deeper state of rest and reset.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Float With Confidence
Everything you need to know before your first float. Still have questions? Please fill out our quick Contact Us form and we will respond shortly.
How Does float therapy work?
You float in warm Epsom-salt water inside a quiet, low-light suite. Buoyancy and reduced sensory input help your body shift into “rest-and-digest,” so stress drops and muscles unclench fast. Clinical studies show single sessions can ease anxiety and improve mood.
What are the science-backed benefits?
Research links Floatation-REST to lower anxiety and stress, short-term drops in blood pressure and cortisol, better sleep, and less perceived pain for many people. Results build with repeated sessions.
How often should I schedule floats?
Think of floating like exercise or meditation — consistency matters. Start with 3 sessions in your first month to learn the experience and notice patterns. Many guests find the most benefits when they float weekly or every other week; others use floating as a monthly reset.
How can I maximize results?
Our solution? Contrast Therapy. Do infrared sauna → cold plunge → float. Heat loosens tissue, cold reduces inflammation and boosts focus, and the float locks in deep calm and better sleep.
Is it sanitary? How do you keep the water clean?
Float tanks use multi-stage filtration between every guest, plus industry-standard disinfection like UV and ozone (often with small amounts of H₂O₂). The high Epsom-salt level also makes the water less hospitable to microbes. We follow North American Float Tank Standard best practices.
Will I feel claustrophobic?
Most people don’t. You control the light and music, and you can float with the door open. Recent trials also show floats are well-tolerated—even in people with high anxiety.
Can i fall asleep? is it safe?
Yes—many people doze off. The salt keeps you buoyant, and the water is shallow. We provide a halo/pillow for comfort.
What should I do before a float?
Eat a light snack, hydrate, and skip caffeine for a few hours. Avoid shaving/waxing the same day. Remove contacts and cover small cuts.
What do I wear?
Most guests float nude in a private suite. You can wear a snug suit if you prefer.
Is float therapy safe during pregnancy?
Many expecting moms love the weightlessness for back and hip ligament relief. Always check with your provider first; we’ll help you set up the suite for comfort.
Who shouldn't float?
Skip floating with open wounds, contagious skin issues, active diarrhea, or if you recently dyed or spray-tanned (until water runs clear). People with uncontrolled epilepsy or severe kidney issues should consult a doctor.
How long can I float?
A standard float lasts 60 minutes.
