Floatation
At Lincoln’s Performance & Recovery Clinic
Why do people float?

- Sport recovery
- Stress and relaxation
- Deep insights into self
- To put a chaotic world into perspective
- To improve every single aspect of your life
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I FLOAT?
Like going to the gym, results come with consistent use, but it’s much better to come once a month and keep it up for extended periods, than it is to start like a raging bull once a week and lose the motivation after three months.
Most people float for one hour and some will float for up to three, it really depends on your mindset and goals.
If you meditate and go on ten day silent zen retreats, then three hours will be a breeze.
If you can’t stop looking at your phone and fill your life with stuff to be distracted from life, then start slowly and build up.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The float room is yours, you are not locked in to anything, you get in and out as you please. You can play music, bring disco lights and have a party if you wish, its your time, your life, do as thou wilst.
The float is several inches of warm water with 600kg of organic magnesium salt, you float. A one hour session rarely feels like more than ten minutes as time and space are different in an environment with no sensory input.
Simply put, the quality of your life depends directly on the quality of your mind, and floating improves your mind.

What is Floatation Therapy?
Floatation therapy is the practice of lying back effortlessly in one of our world-leading isopod floatation tanks and drifting into a blissful, deep, meditative state that rejuvenates and revives your mind and body.
The latest floatation therapy research shows that during floatation, the amygdala basically shuts off, ‘turning down’ anxiety in the brain. The more you float, the better you get at achieving this state.
The FloatLab delivers the deepest of meditative states to those who are not experts in meditation so that everyone can enjoy the benefits.
