Floating Into Clarity: Exploring the Side Effects of Float Therapy

As the popularity of float therapy grows, so does curiosity about its potential side effects. At Balance + Tranquility, transparency is key, and we're here to guide you through the nuanced experience of float therapy.

One of the most commonly reported side effects of float therapy is a feeling of dizziness or disorientation upon exiting the tank. This is typically short-lived and can be attributed to the sudden transition from a state of deep relaxation to standing upright. To mitigate this, we recommend taking a moment to reacclimate before stepping out of the float tank.

In some cases, individuals may experience mild skin irritation due to the high concentration of Epsom salts in the water. This is usually temporary and can be alleviated by thoroughly rinsing off after the session. It's essential to communicate any skin sensitivities to our team beforehand to ensure a customized and comfortable experience.

Occasionally, individuals with a history of claustrophobia may find the enclosed environment of the float tank challenging. However, many clients adapt to the space over time as they become more familiar with the experience.

While side effects are minimal and often short-lived, it's important to note that individual responses to float therapy can vary. At Balance + Tranquility, our experienced team is dedicated to ensuring your comfort and addressing any concerns you may have. As you embark on your float therapy journey with us, rest assured that we prioritize your well-being, providing a supportive environment for you to explore the transformative benefits of this unique wellness practice.
