    4 Stars The Closest I've Ever Got To Becoming A Mermaid Diamond review 14/07/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages It looks nothing like it does in the picture!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Its Salty

    I have always been intrigued by alternative therapies, but have never really tried any until recently. I have been feeling a little stressed out for a while and regularly have trouble sleeping. A few people had suggested maybe trying a session in a floatation tank. The idea when it was first approached to me, sounded completely bizarre. Always willing to try anything once, I though it couldn't do any harm and decided to look into it further. What is a Floatation Tank? A floatation tank is a bath like tank with a lid. The tank is filled with water and Epsom Salts kept at body temperature. The ... more

    4 Stars Turn Off Your Mind, Relax & Fart Downstream Review with images 11/12/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages One man's return to the womb........

    Disadvantages Disadvantages ......is another man's claustrophobia attack

    What's this, Billy Nibbles writing about a health spa? He'll be dangling crystals next! ****************************************​* ************ I can see why flotation tanks are the new name for sensory deprivation – after all, the latter sounds a trifle negative - a bit more like a method of torture, like ‘solitary’, rather than a means of relaxation and regeneration. “So Tommy, sree more months in ze kuhler for you, I sink, ja?” So what is a flotation tank, apart from being a tank that you float in? Well for one thing, it has a light-tight lid to render the inside completely dark, although ... more

    4 Stars Totally surreal experience! 30/09/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Had great night sleep after floating

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Bit of a coffin feel!

    Well it all came about when my mum and I went shopping in Exeter. We happened to come across the Eden Day Spa beauty salon. I pointed it out to my mum but noticed that it was down two flights of steps. Being 34 weeks pregnant, I asked mum if she could go down and get a leaflet. So she obliged, but seemed to be down there quite a while. Meanwhile, on a plasma screen upstairs I was able to see footage of the different treatments they did. One was strange, and seemed to have a girl lying in a shell like contraption. Anyway, after about 5 minutes, my mum came back upstairs and said that she was ... more

    5 Stars Float Tanks - Stress Relief Beyond Total Belief 11/09/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fantastically relaxing and uplifting experience

    Disadvantages Disadvantages wish I could afford a tank for my home ;o)

    I'd seen the horror of the movie Altered States way back when, plus Homer and Lisa taking their own journey by way of the float tanks at Karmaceuticals, Springfield USA and I even saw an episode of Ab Fab featuring Edwina and her own float tank. So I guess you could say it's something that’s always intrigued me. Six months ago I was lucky enough to receive a course of 3 floatation tank sessions at the Floatworks Floatation Tank Centre in London. http://www.floatworks.com My first session was truly breathtaking, leaving me completely blown away, chilled and uplifted. I not sure what I'd really ... more

    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Could be very relaxing in the right place

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Has to have the right atmosphere

    I won a Flotation Experience in a competition run by Migraleve.The experience was organised by Red Letter Days,who I rang up to book it.The one available in Merseyside was in Lark Lane, Liverpool,by Sefton Park. After reading about flotation and it's benefits,I was really looking forward to it.I was hoping to forget my cares and worries,and aches and pains(at least for a little while) I went by train to St Michaels station(luckily I didn't drive as there was nowhere to park)and walked a short way up the road to the Equilibrium Centre. I had never been to Lark Lane before and found it to be a ... more

    5 Stars Floating Saved Me From Back Surgery 10/04/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages It's the most effective way I've found to relieve stress and back pain

    Disadvantages Disadvantages If you don't live near a float center, you need to own one

    I was fortunate to find a float center advertised in a Chicago newspaper back in '99. I fell asleep for a little while and when I got out, all the colors were richer, the sunlight was softer, and I felt like I was walking on a cloud when I walked back to my car. Two years later, I was nearly paralyzed with sciatic pain. I went to see a chiropractor and he put me in even more pain, so I went to the float center again. I thought it would help like standing in a heated swimming pool helped, but the float tank did much more. It quickly relaxed my super-tight muscles and the stabs of pain ... more
