Float & Restore

Float therapy, also known as floatation therapy, sensory deprivation , or isolation tank therapy, is a practice which is used to promote relaxation and reduce stress. At Float & Restore in Perth, Western Australia the method involves the use of very salty water in a small room which gives the individual complete privacy from the rest of the world. This private environment can be perceived by some as being a bit scary at first, especially if they have never been inside one before. However, once someone gets used to it and tries it out for themselves they will most likely come to understand that their concerns were unwarranted.

The salt in the water makes it very dense so that when an individual lays down in it they are no longer able to float high enough to reach . This lack of buoyancy allows them to lie in the water without sinking. Some people say that it's like lying on a cloud and the experience is truly wonderful. When someone enters into this state they typically go through several different stages of consciousness. These phases can be viewed as being similar to some of the early stages of sleep, but while inside there is no chance to slip off and fall unconscious.
