Salt Float Center

Salt float center is a unique spa experience offering timed float therapy sessions inside of one of our top-of-the-line float pods or float suites. Salt opened in beautiful Montclair, New Jersey in March of 2018. WHAT is floating? Floating involves lying on your back in an 8’ x 5’ room or pod that has 11 inches of water in it, of which 1100 lbs. of Epsom salt has been dissolved. The room is completely sound and lightproof. The Epsom salt provides a high buoyancy and the water temperature matches that of the surface of your skin. Combined, these two effects give the sensation that there actually is no water and that you are just floating. The drastic reduction of gravity, combined with the complete silent darkness, initiates a reduction in your cortisol (stress hormone) levels and, consequently, a reduction in bodily inflammation. This deep relaxation and complete comfort unlocks and unburdens your mind while your body heals. Floating is known to unleash a flow-state of creativity and can help breakthrough mental blocks you might be experiencing. Once the session is over, most experience a post-float euphoria which can last days where you are focused, unburdened and at peace. WHY float? Although the benefits of floating are many, the following seem to be reported as the most useful to modern living:+ reduce stress and anxiety + reduce bodily inflammation - faster recovery from workouts + alleviate pain (injury, arthritis or fibromyalgia)+ improve sleep + alleviate symptoms of depression and PTSD + improve concentration and focus + enhance creativity.it is also extremely relaxing and fun.
