We are pleased to host options for both float and sauna therapies. No matter what your goal - rest, relaxation and rejuvenation of your mind, body and soul are only a few clicks away.
Float therapy is the practice of floating effortlessly in a special pod of Epsom Salt water solution. The pod's environment creates a sensory reduced environment, allowing you to disconnect from the world around you. In this state, your body lowers its levels of cortisol (which is the main chemical component of stress) and your brain releases elevated levels of endorphins. During a flotation, your muscles, joints, and bones take a well-deserved break. Your mind becomes still and your body suddenly has loads of extra resources, which allows it to focus on things like healing and resting – the stress simply floats away. The spine lengthens an inch, chronic pain is relieved, and your muscles are allowed to fully recover. Unlike lying on a mattress, lying in water allows blood to flow freely all throughout your body. Even the magnesium-based Epsom Salts, we use at The Float Spa in Hove are good for you. They soften and replenish your skin, and help counteract the magnesium deficiency that most of us have due to depleted magnesium levels in our soil and food.
For people who find the heat in a traditional sauna too intense or simply don’t enjoy sitting in a hot ill-lit room with half naked strangers, an infrared sauna is a great alternative as the heating effect is much more gentle and you get to sit in the sauna alone with relaxing light therapy and your own choice of music if you desire. All round, a session in one of our infrared saunas is a deeply relaxing experience which improves blood flow, eases pain and has a wide range of health benefits.
