You’ve probably heard the buzz about float therapy: the deep relaxation treatment where you float weightlessly in salty water, cut off from noise and light. Some people swear by it for stress, pain, and better sleep — but does float therapy actually work, or is it just wellness hype?
At Quantum Clinic, we offer a unique Floatation REST Therapy that blends sensory deprivation with healing frequency technology — combined with a compassionate, clinician-guided approach that sets us apart. We’re here to give you the honest, science-backed scoop on what float therapy really does, who it helps, and what to expect if you try it.
What Is Float Therapy, Really?
Float therapy (also called sensory deprivation therapy) involves floating effortlessly in a tank filled with warm water saturated with Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate). Because the water is so dense, your body floats naturally, and you’re shielded from light, sound, and gravity’s pull. This sensory deprivation environment helps your nervous system shift from constant alertness to deep rest and repair.
At Quantum Clinic, we enhance the experience with healing frequency sound technology designed to harmonize your body’s cells and boost emotional balance during your session. Plus, our clinicians guide you through a personalized, trauma-informed process to ensure it’s safe, comfortable, and truly healing for you.
Why Do People Love Float Therapy?
It’s not just a relaxing bath. Many clients report:
- Stress melting away
- Reduced muscle and joint pain
- Better sleep quality
- Sharper mental clarity
- A sense of peaceful mindfulness
And these effects can deepen with regular sessions — that’s why we offer memberships designed for ongoing healing and relaxation in Los Angeles.
What Does Science Say About Floatation Therapy?
The evidence is promising:
- Stress Relief: Research shows float therapy reduces cortisol levels, your body’s main stress hormone. (Source: PubMed)
- Pain Reduction: Magnesium in Epsom salts can ease inflammation and muscle soreness.
- Improved Sleep: Floating helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting restorative sleep.
- Mental Health: Studies report improvements in anxiety, depression symptoms, and overall mood.
While research is ongoing, existing studies and countless personal stories demonstrate that float therapy is a powerful tool for mind-body wellness.
What Float Therapy Isn’t
Float therapy is not a miracle cure or replacement for medical or psychological treatment. It’s not just about “escaping” your problems — real benefits come from committing to a practice and integrating your experience mindfully. That’s why at Quantum Clinic, we combine float sessions with clinician support and our unique Expressive Arts Lounge, helping you process and anchor your insights.
What to Expect at Quantum Clinic
When you book a session with us, it’s more than just floating:
- Personalized Biofeedback Meditation: Start with a session to tune your heart and brain rhythms using advanced heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring.
- Floatation REST Therapy: Float in our Epsom salt tank with soothing healing frequencies enveloping you.
- Expressive Arts Integration: After floating, use creative expression to process your experience with support from our clinicians.
This integrated approach promotes deep nervous system healing, emotional resilience, and lasting wellness.
Who Should Be Cautious?
Float therapy is safe for most people, but if you have certain medical conditions (like severe skin issues, epilepsy, or extreme claustrophobia), please consult your healthcare provider first. Our clinicians at Quantum Clinic will tailor your experience to meet your unique needs and ensure comfort.
