Brisbanites Tim Butters and Jeremy Hassell were initially sceptical until they tried it for themselves and decided to build their own.
The concept of float therapy, also known as sensory deprivation therapy, isn’t ubiquitously known, but the idea is simple: you jump into a tank of heated water filled with hundreds of kilos of Epsom salts designed to make the water dense to counteract your weight, and you float.
But their experience was marred after they emerged from their respective float pools to a waiting room furnished with harsh bright lights and uncomfortable chairs. ”When you come out, you should have your senses reintroduced to the external environments in a really nice, soft, calm way,” he said. 400 kilograms of hospital-grade Epsom salt helps you float on the surface effortlessly. “It helps relieve all pressure from all of your joints. It helps elongate your spine, gives you a break from gravity,” said Butters, who compared it to floating in space. ”It releases a part of your brain that’s always churning. Even when you’re in bed, there’s always something happening naturally in your body that’s processing external stimuli. It’s like a type of forced meditation.
Rather than having customers step into a pod, as some competitors do, City Cave float rooms are all pools. ‘Float attendants’ are on hand to offer cups of hot herbal tea. Rooms are cleaned between each customer, who will see their name on the door when they walk in.
