FLOAT TANK ADELAIDE
What is Float Therapy?
Immerse yourself in a tranquil pool and experience utter relaxation! The Recovery Hub offers Float Therapy tubs designed to put you in a meditative state as you will be protected from all the sensory stimulations and distractions. The goal is to trigger the healing processes in your body while calming your mind and reducing stress or anxiety. Step inside the optimally heated water enriched with 400kg of Epsom salts and slowly drift away into the theta state of mind. This healing technique will put your brain on autopilot and rejuvenate your body.
ADELAIDE FLOAT THERAPY
Why Float at The Recovery Hub?
Floating therapy can help you reduce stress, minimise pain, stimulate creativity and make you feel happier. This popular wellness treatment was invented back in 1954 by American neuroscientist John C. Lilly who studied the effects of sensory deprivation on the brain. The basic design stayed the same: a fibreglass bathtub is filled with about 11 inches of warm, salty water. The idea is to deprive your mind and body of outside sensations and float to reach a meditative healing state.
Floating tanks have become very popular, especially among those suffering from stress, and anxiety. This technique can help with many other mental problems such as lack of focus, insomnia or depressive thoughts, but it is also efficient in battling chronic pain and injuries.

Float therapy can help pregnant women with many issues including stress, insomnia, and back pain. However, you should speak with your GP before you book an appointment with us.
If you are menstruating, we will ask you to reschedule and pick another appointment. This is not due to the negative effects on your health, but purely because of hygiene reasons.
At The Recovery Hub, we take hygiene seriously! Each appointment lasts for an hour, but we allocate 90-minute time slots so that we can thoroughly clean the tanks and showers. We use high-quality pool filters that are good enough to purify 10,000 litres of water, while we keep only 1000 litres in each tank. High quantities of salt (approximately 400Kg per session) minimise the chances of bacteria survival. Additionally, we encourage our clients to shower before the session.
No! The water is very dense due to high levels of salt, which means that you will stay afloat even if you fall asleep.
Yes, but make sure you are neither too full nor too hungry. Anything that could distract you while relaxing in a floating tank might jeopardise your experience. We recommend that you avoid alcohol, energy drinks and caffeine.
No. Epsom salts in the water are rich in magnesium, allowing you to spend a longer time in the water. Your skin will feel smooth and won’t be prune-like in a regular swimming pool.
