Floating Therapy

Floating Therapy: Relaxation and Healing

Have you arrived in Brașov? You can't miss enhancing your vacation with a few hours of relaxation. Experience floating therapy this time! And not just anywhere but in the country's first salon of this kind.

Floating therapy takes place in a pool resembling a larger bathtub or a smaller pool, filled with a ton of water in which 500 kilograms of Epsom salt or magnesium sulfate have been dissolved (a salt long known for its therapeutic qualities). This concentration of magnesium allows the body to float in the solution, providing a sensation of weightlessness. The water is maintained at body temperature, eliminating the feeling of cold, while sound and visual isolation minimize the influence of usual sensory stimuli.

Floating Therapy. Why should you try it?

There are numerous reasons, which can be divided into three main categories: health, relaxation, and freedom.

Physical health is one of the reasons, as floating in the alkaline solution of concentrated magnesium salts allows muscles to relax, bones and the spine to unwind, and the skin to absorb magnesium from the Epsom salt, thus balancing the body's mineral levels. It aids in preventing issues in the ENT spectrum, Reproductive System, menopause, and PMS, Cellular System and chronic diseases, Kidney and Liver System (toxin release), Cardiovascular System, Endocrine System, Digestive System, and Immune System.

Mental relaxation and stress relief are other benefits, especially after a busy day or week. A 90-minute floating session can offer the equivalent of the relaxation from a peaceful night's sleep or a complete massage. And who doesn't need to escape stress in today's world? Moreover, it helps eliminate mental dysfunctions – depression, panic attacks, stress, insomnia, anxiety, unfounded restlessness, memory disorders, autism.

Freedom is also an important reason, as the absence of usual sensory information can unleash the brain's processing power, making it more efficient in mental decisions, creative processes, or meditation sessions.

Floating Therapy. Perfect for everyone

Age? Health condition? It doesn't matter!

You can participate even if you don't know how to swim; the pool is only 25 cm deep, and the salt keeps you afloat. You won't sink even if you try!

Claustrophobic? No problem! We recommend Aquarmony Premium floating pools, which are float room-type, offering a generous interior space with glass front walls. In closed environments, you can leave the light on and the door slightly ajar until a comfortable level is reached, so you can enjoy the entire floating experience in silence and complete relaxation.

It's okay if you fall asleep during the therapy; you'll likely enjoy the most restful sleep in a while...

And what if water gets into your eyes? It will be just a momentary sting, which is why we recommend avoiding touching your face with your hands after entering the pool. If needed, use the clean water container or towel near the pool. Keep in mind, though, that salts have multiple benefits, including healing various eye conditions!

Wondering if you should bring a swimsuit? Floating therapy salons provide the necessary privacy for everyone to bathe just like at home, without being bothered by a swimsuit. Avoiding it is recommended for hygiene reasons, in addition to those related to sensory deprivation. But for those who still prefer wearing a swimsuit, it can be used optionally.

Floating Therapy - Key differences from treatments in hot springs or saline lakes:

• Salt composition: While saline lakes contain regular table salt (NaCl), floating pools use Epsom salt (MgSO4) with magnesium and sulfur as the main elements.
• Unique density: The concentration of magnesium sulfate in floating pools is unique and approaches the levels of the Dead Sea, offering high-quality treatment.
• Privacy and hygiene: Floating pools ensure superior privacy and hygiene compared to spa resorts or saline lakes.
• Availability: Floating therapy can be done at any time of the year, thanks to the constant maintenance of water temperature. Lower costs: Eliminating travel and accommodation costs makes floating therapy more affordable and immediately available.
• Therapeutic continuity: Therapy can be followed consistently with weekly or bi-monthly sessions, while other treatments are limited to short vacation periods.
• Efficient absorption: Absorption of magnesium and sulfur through the skin is superior to oral supplementation.
