The Story Behind Elevation Floatation

In cities like Melbourne, it is common to experience extreme stress on a daily basis due to work, traffic, technology, social media, and other distractions created in day to day life. Elevation Floatation provides a center for wellness through the practices of flotation in a relaxed and friendly environment specifically designed to allow you to get in touch with your creative side. The entire purpose of our company is to elevate your mind and body and to enhance your full potential.

Al the creative center, a person is able to find calmness to their otherwise overstimulated mind. They are able to look inwardly which is where untapped potential lay. It is typical for individuals today to always be seeking a way to do more and perform better even at the cost of their own health and well-being. They often get far too little sleep and due to the stress in their life, they completely lose the passion they once had. Elevation Floatation decided that those types of scenarios are not neces-sary for everyone and that it is possible to give everyone a way to help.

It is for this reason that so many clients feel that Elevation Floatation is by far the best flotation Center in Melbourne. The reason is that we use the most technologically advanced flotation devices available and they are known as "Dreampods".

Flotation devices that are older often create a feeling of claustrophobia and in some cases, excess condensation occurs. However, our "Dreampods" have completely eliminated these issues. Even though these advanced floatation devices were a significant investment there was never any question that it was the right investment for the company to ensure the best Floatation Therapy experience.

It's an experience that can only be fully understood when you actually comes in and one it for yourself. Flow it makes you feel and how it improves your sense of well-being. Some have said that it feels like what they would imagine it might feel like to be in outer space. you lose any perception of gravity and many say they lose a sense of time.

Making Your First Appointment

There's no question that at this point you're certainly considering making your first appointment It really is simple to schedule your first 60-minute session. During your session, you will be in a sound-and-light proofed pod that has a mix of 550 kg of Epsom salts in with 40 centimeters of water. The water and the air temperature are all specifically set at your body's natural temperature. If you've ever heard of people floating in the Dead Sea this is due to the high density of salt there. Ifs very similar when floating inside the Dreampod. During your 50 minutes session all physical, visual, and audible stimulation will be removed in a way that is not possibly experienced anywhere else. The heavy salt solution creates a buoyancy that allows you to effortlessly float on the surface of the water. The technologically advanced pods create an atmosphere that removes all other distraction allowing for an individual to fully and completely relax and to quiet the mind.

[15 Critical Factors]

Frequently Asked Question

1Will I feel claustrophobic?
No. People with claustrophobia consistently report no problems with floating. It is very spacious inside our float tanks they are about the size of a small car (2.8m long, 1.8m wide and 1.75m tall). Different light and music options are available and good ventilation is provided throughout your experience.
2Will I get cold while floating?
No. Our floatation tanks are heated at skin temperature, 36 degrees C, the ideal temperature for floating.
3How clean are the tanks, how is this cleanliness maintained between floaters?
The high Epsom salt content of the float pod plus a tiny amount of supplementary treatment ensures that our float solution is inert and nothing harmful can survive within the tank. The highly sterile salt water is fully filtered 10 times between each float, passing through a .5 micron filter system and is sanitised with UV light. Further cleanliness is assured as we tell all customers to shower before and after each float session. We independently test our waters regularly to ensure we meet the highest standards. Floatation is much more hygienic than attending your local pool, spa or sauna.
4Can I be too heavy to float? Will I sink?
No. With the Epsom salt solution we use (600kg of epsom salts are dissolved in the water of the tank). Everyone floats whether you’re the size of a professional rugby athlete or a ballet dancer.
5What if I fall asleep? Is it safe?
Yes. Some people fall asleep, but the water is so buoyant that you stay afloat. Our music and sound messages can always wake you up.
6Will my hair get wet? What if I have a fake tan or have had hair dye applied?
Yes. You must wash your hair before and after each float session. Lacquers and water based dyes or fake tans are not allowed within 7 days of application, you will be asked to reschedule. Be sure to take this into consideration when scheduling your appointment.
7Will I be in the dark?
That's up to you. There is a light switch in all of our float tanks that you control. You can choose to have the lights on or off. You can also choose to play music throughout your float session if you would like. Many people find that silence and darkness are the best ways for them to relax and achieve the optimum results through their float experience.
8Can I float if I'm pregnant?
Pregnant women often find great relief and decompression from pain and stiffness while floating. There is even a special position you can float in that relieves all of the weight of the baby off the mother’s body. If you are in your third trimester, or have any concerns, please consult with your physician before coming in.
9Do I get dehydrated from soaking for so long? Will my skin get wrinkly?
No, your skin doesn’t even prune up! You do absorb a lot of magnesium from the Epsom salt though…
1Can I bring a friend?
Absolutely. You can’t float together in the same tank, but you can book separate float tank rooms at the same time.
2How will I get out of the tank? Do I have to stay in the whole time?
You are completely in control of every aspect of your floating experience. You can float with the door open or closed, you can leave lights on, turn on music and you can even go in and out of the tank as you please. The door is very light weight and opens easily from the inside at any time.
3Can I float if I’m menstruating?
Yes. Just follow the same habits you would for a swimming pool.
4Will I have my own private room?
Yes, you have your own private pod room equipped with your own personal shower, which you’ll use before and after your float. For this reason, most people do not wear a swimming suit, as this presses against the body and takes away from the experience but, we say do whatever you are most comfortable with.
5What should I do to prepare?
Don’t drink coffee for four hours beforehand (it can make you jittery during your float). Also, don’t shave or wax the day of the float as the salt water can irritate your skin. Eating a light meal about an hour to 90 minutes ahead of time stops your stomach from sounding like an angry monster while you float. It is important to note, that you should not float within 7 days of applying fake tank to your skin. Other than that, there’s no specific preparation needed.
6When Not To Float?
  • Before shaving or waxing
  • If you are severely sun burnt or have just had a fresh tattoo within the past 5 days
  • If you have dyed your hair with a water based dye
  • If you have applied fake tan within the last 7 days
  • If you are pregnant and you have been advised not to float by your health care practitioner
  • If you are an epileptic where seizures could endanger your safety in the float tank
  • If you have extremely low blood pressure
  • If you have impaired kidney disease
  • If you have a severe skin condition (eczema) or a contagious disease or infectious skin condition and open/infected wounds
  • If it has been less than two weeks since you experienced gastroenteritis/diarrhoea
  • If you have had chemotherapy (you will need to wait 2 months)
    7Do I need to bring anything?
    If you have longer hair, you may want to bring a comb. Also, something to put your contact lenses into while you’re in the tank. Other than that, we provide everything you need (towels, facewipes, earplugs, body wash/shampoo,…)
    8Are there any side-effects?
    Not in the true sense of the word. Some first-time floaters can emerge from the tank feeling slightly nauseous. This is actually a good sign as it indicates that built-up stress is in fact leaving the body. We very rarely experience any cases of nausea in subsequent visits. Please advise us if you have conditions such as eczema, psoriasis or allergies to sulphates as the float could become uncomfortable.
