What to expect during your float tank therapy
Everyone visiting Shropshire Floats will have access to their own private float room. It's there you'll find your floatation tank, a private rainfall shower, and a relaxation area, where you can get yourself ready for the day ahead or simply enjoy a bit more time to yourself.
The floatation experience itself is where the magic really happens. You'll spend your time relaxing in a shallow pool of warm, super-salty water in a light-proof, sound-proof tank. The salt water contains around 550kg of dissolved Epsom Salts, making it more buoyant than the Dead Sea – so you'll float gently on top of it rather than sinking, helping to relieve all those posture-related aches and pains caused by the effects gravity on the body. The water is kept at a temperature of 36C (approx) to ensure the perfect floating experience, and it will leave your skin feeling as amazing as the rest of you.
Guaranteed accessibility
At Shropshire Floats, we want everyone to be able to enjoy the benefits of floating. That's why we're the first floatation spa in the UK to instal a ceiling hoist to ensure those with limited mobility can come along and revel in the floating experience. Our hoist will lift you safely into and out of the tank, so you can just lie back and enjoy all the physical and mental benefits that floating brings.
