Float On is a Portland treasure! I really don't think anyone does floatation thereapy better. The staff here are friendly and supportive, the entire space is dedicated to soothing visitors and minimizing stimuli, there is much emphasis on cleanliness, and there are a wide variety of tanks to choose from. If you are looking for a transformative experience, definite give floatation therapy a chance. I was a little anxious at first and found it difficult to just let go, but letting go is what gives you the best return on investment. Float On is one of the places where I am best able to quiet those inner voices, enter into a deep and meditative state, and walk away feeling relaxed and renewed. It's my happy place. All of my loved ones have been warned that if anyone ever asks, "Hey, what do you think Nico would like for his birthday," the answer is always a gift certificate at Float On! I'm not sure if I can give any better recommendation for Float On than this! read more

I truly thought float therapy would give me an anxiety attack, but it's done the opposite! I highly recommend Float On -- especially if you're new to floating and want to make sure you feel comfortable going into it. The staff will walk you through the experience, give you advice on how to get the best out of it, and take care of you when you stumble out of the room completely zenned out after a float. :-) I personally prefer the large pool rooms and tank rooms over the pods, but Float On has plenty of all three float types for you to find out what works best for you. Remember, you are in total control and can slowly ease yourself into it. You can play music if you'd like or keep it quiet. You can choose to start with lights on or turn them off immediately. You can figure it out as you go and eventually you'll be hooked. I definitely recommend going for a float at least twice to figure out whether you enjoy it or not. The first time can be a bit weird getting used to it, but the second will definitely tell you if this is for you. I generally feel much more relaxed and my generalized anxiety is greatly improved for a little over a week. The memberships are also really good deals if you're willing to either pay monthly or all up front. read more

The staff here are wonderful - not just with the basics but also suggesting which tanks best accommodate different body types and heights. I've been a member for 2 years now and can honestly say I haven't had a complaint of any kind - I've even bought gift sessions for friends and a neighbor. The float itself has helped me with relaxation, supplementing injury rehab, and basic stress management (imagine ending a long week with 3 hrs in weightless darkness...sublime). I would highly recommend Float On to anyone. Well..I would CONTINUE recommending them :) read more

I absolutely LOVE coming here. Every single person I've talked with and room I've tried has been absolutely wonderful. Everything is clean, well kept, quiet and very enjoyable from start to finish. The floats are always relaxing, and help all my aches and pains feel relieved and less painful (if not fully gone) once I get out. I haven't done a late night float, they're a great price and usually longer, I'm just afraid I'll fall asleep! One tip, if you have any cuts (or eczema) put cream over them or float with your hands out of the water. My first time I didn't know this and my hands stung for quite away until I got used to it! read more

It was very relaxing and peaceful. Made my chronic pain go away for a week. Definitely going again.

Absolutely, yes, you want to come here. Maybe you want to process some trauma...or maybe you just want to lose yourself completely, relax into a blissful emptiness, let your body escape the shackles of your too busy mind. There is an assortment of tubs to fit your needs ranging from embryonic capsule tubs to a fully accessible room with oversized tub to open tubs more like small pools for those who need to move and worry about getting claustrophobic. The entire place is clean and inviting. The saline solutions is kept sterile for all (check out their website for the full story https://floathq.com ) and the lobby is so nice you kind of want to hang out there and sip some of the great teas they provide. I am impressed with their commitment to community, too. If you volunteer four hours at one of the non-profits they've listed on their webpage, you get a free float. Not only is that great for the many worthy organizations they highlight but it's also a way to float for those whose pockets may be feeling tight. Give the float experience a try. It's unlike anything else you've done. read more

It has 6 floatation rooms. All have private showers. The place is kept immaculate. The waiting has comfortable couches and the is a variety of teas and a three flavor combucha bar. These amenities are complimentary to customers. The float experience to something that has to be experienced. During these trying days of choas and stress you should treat yourself to a calming experience. Check out their web site is www.float coop.com to see a virtual tour and read up on the floating experience. You won't be disappointed. read more

Absolutely life changing. I floated for the first time yesterday and my body feels like a new body. All the stress and anxiety disappeared. I'm officially addicted. For the first time in years I had zero nightmares and slept better than usual. My skin also feels amazing. The staff is absolutely wonderful. Very grateful. read more

This is a great place to float. Let me tell you why. First, what is a float place? It is a location with individual rooms containing floatation tanks filled with water and enough epsom salts to keep you effortlessly afloat. It feels like being set free from the tyranny of gravity for a little while. Choose between full dark or lit and float for 90 minutes (or more, late at night). The place is calm and welcoming, with a strong water or beach motif. It has lovely murals and art that emphasizes that vibe. It isn't fancy or formal and don't expect a spa experience. This place is as practical as it is welcoming and wholesome. They have a variety of different float tanks in their rooms. They are not all the same but scheduling portal on their site has photos to help you make your choice. I was able to make a choice with lots availability less than a week out from the day I chose - busy enough to show they are popular, free enough that you don't have to plan 6 weeks in advance! I have floated here before but I will focus on today. I choose room 5. I was greeted warmly and led to my room promptly. This room was spacious but well filled. They had a large (I was told it was a 4X size) robe with their logo hanging on the door. This is welcome as I am a plus size woman and was a fairly recent update, I am told. They also had a pair of spa sandals for hygiene in the shower or in the halls. There is also a box of useful items, such as ear plugs, makeup remover, q-tips, and so on, along with a large and fluffy towel on a seat. (Be sure to watch the introductory video before your first float - it definitely will explain a few things and help smooth your way.) I made sure to insert the earplugs BEFORE entering the shower this time (my error the first time) and much preferred it. You don't have to use them but it takes some time (and provided vinegar) for some to get the salt out of their ears when it is over. Just to the left was a shower with body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and also lotion, available for use. They also have a built in sound system with cables for most (if not all) devices and also bluetooth connections. You can choose between silence, relaxing spa music, a book, or maybe a guided meditation. I choose ambient spa music today. Even with plugs in, I was able to hear my music, I assume due to the acoustic properties of the water. After the shower, I stepped into the pool, which is about 11 inches deep and body temperature, or maybe slightly cooler. It is big enough for me (5'5") to float spread out and not touch the sides. The light controls and easy to find, right by the entrance to the pool. Turn off the lights, and just let go and float. I was able to let go of both body strain and personal stress. I don't find it boring, just peaceful. Finally, after 90 minutes, their music begins to play, giving notice that it is time to return to the real world. They will bring up the lights afterwards, too, or you can turn them on yourself. They allow plenty of time to shower and dress after the time is up. I left feeling calm and soothed. So, why 4 stars? I really debated giving it 5 stars but, in the end, I give 4 because the facility has only one restroom, not on in each room, which would be truly premium. Mind you, the distance is short, they provide a robe and sandals, and I have never had to wait to use it. And, I also don't hold it against them - there isn't room in the rooms for individual restroom facilities. But, if it is missing anything, that would be it. If that matters to you - 4 stars. For me, it still counts as 5. If you are going to do this, I suggest you keep a few things in mind. Watch the video - it is maybe 5 minutes long. Decide ahead of time if you want music or sound and set up your playlist in advance. Remember that you are going to want to wash your hair afterwards. Really. This isn't like a saltwater pool, this will leave serious salt crystals if you don't wash well. And that means being ready for it. Today, I remembered to bring my wet brush but wished I had also brought a hair turban. The rooms don't appear to have hair dryers - if that matters to you, ask the staff. I don't know if they can accommodate it but they might and they do take requests and feedback into account. My first float had a robe that was too small. When I commented, they told me first that larger robes were available upon request and, this time, when I requested it with my booking, they told me all robes were 4X, due in part to comments like mine. In short, they took my feedback and remembered I had given it. So, I love floating. I love this place. I will return. They have memberships, with discounted rates. They have extra long floats at no additional cost late at night (think 2 AM late). And, they have sales. I bought this float and another at 50% off and they are good for years. It's peaceful. It is friendly. It is convenient. This is a good place to go and a great experience to try. Enjoy! read more

This entire experience was magical! The staff was so helpful for my first float. The instructional video they created to watch before hand answered all my questions. They also showed me around my float room before hand And had thought of every little detail to make my float a success. Can't wait to be back to clear my head, relax, and float! read more

I have been floating here for four years or so. During the pandemic when they were initially closed was tough, because this it's such a good place to get resented, which we all needed during those early days. I think the prices are fair, the staff are all awesome humans, and the place is very clean. This place doesn't have a fancy ambience, so if that's a requirement for you keep it in mind, but it's definitely comfortable, and each room with the flotation tanks is private and well cared for. I come here to reset my nervous system, and occasionally to experience shifting consciousness. We're lucky to have this place as part of our Portland community. My last float I came with my teen son and he enjoyed the experience and opportunity to relax. read more

Staff is very calming and reassuring. Offers of tea while you wait for your float tank. The float is amazing, relaxing, and peaceful. Only way to have a negative experience is if you have it within your mindset. read more

Just finished a float and thought I'd give them a review as I don't think I ever have even though I've been several times (and even have a membership now). All in all, I love Float On. The staff are friendly, I love the selection of rooms (open, traditional pod, etc) and also all the other little touches that make for a nice experience (tea in the lobby, snacks to buy should you be hungry before your float, etc). Floating is now part of my self care routine thanks to them. read more

Back again and it's still awesome! I wish there was a Float On out on the Westside, or SW suburbs but other than that, I still love this place! read more

The staff are SO nice and welcoming. The float is a challenge to train your mind and body to relax, unwind, release your tension. The more floats I do, the better I am at shaking off built up stress and tension. Very healing. The several flavors of komucha is a wonderful after-float reward.. read more

Tried floating for the first time and had an excellent experience. They send you several email reminders, and even call you before your first appointment. The intro video was helpful for what to expect. The facilities were very clean and the staff was friendly. They had the right amenities for a great experience. read more

I love floating once a month. They have a great deal for members, monthly users. The place is friendly, super clean and very quiet even though they're located right on Hawthorne. Each room is sound proof. Each room is different so you can get exactly the kind of float you like: with some twinkling star lights, very spacious, or snug and enclosed. Each room has its own shower. Members get a free kombucha. Staff is friendly and peaceful. 90 minutes in epsom salt is always uplifting. I highly recommend the place. read more

I had my first float session the other day and I can't stop thinking about it! For the first time in my life, I experienced an opportunity to self-reflect, meditate, relax, brainstorm and problem solve while feeling entirely weightless. This was also pretty gratifying to do as someone who experiences full-body hyperhidrosis (a genetically inherited condition that causes excessive sweat). Joe was awesome during my time there and welcomed me when I first arrived. They gave me the tour and 101 on how to use the earplugs and prep supplies in my reserved room and assured me to let them know if I needed anything else. Thanks to the entire team at Float On for this chance to float with ease and pure comfort. Needless to say, I'm hooked and already looking forward to my next session! :) read more

Float On now has Miracle Berry tablets for sale. Miracle Fruit or Miracle Berry is from the Synsepalum Dulcificum plant found in Africa. If you chew the miracle berry, coating the tastebuds on the tongue, for the next 20-45 minutes sour foods will taste sweet. Molecular gastronomy. It is fun to get friends together for a "flavor tripping" party, with lemons, limes, pineapple, cranberries, grapefruit, kiwis, dry wine, sharp cheese, sour cream, vinegar potato chips, tomatoes, pickles - you get the idea. You can order fresh and frozen berries online, and I have. Float On has the fruit packaged as a tablet. For me the tablet was longer acting than the fruit. And a search of Yelp for miracle berry/fruit yields no matches, so this is the place! They also have a shiny new Bitcoin ATM. The Bitcoins aren't shiny, but the machine is! read more

Quick 3-Second Review: Awesome, Fun, Relaxing, Do It! Detailed Review: I signed up for the monthly membership and have packed 18 floats into a single month. I've tried every tank and will give brief reviews of each below. Float On is Portland's largest float center, with 6 tanks. Each room/tank is slightly different and there's a good variety, from simple to sci-fi movie dreaminess. The staff are friendly, and most of them have everything together. When you walk into Float On, you'll immediately notice that it feels very warm and humid, in a tropical way. In spite of how much warmth and moisture is constantly in the air, it always smells good. The place is decorated in bright blue and yellow, with colourful stretchy fabric pulled across the ceiling. It's a fun-looking environment. There's a comfortable couch and chairs in the waiting area, and you can help yourself to tea prior to your float. It feels soothing just being there. If it's your first float, one of the staff members will tell you everything you need to know about your float, and show you around the room/tank where you'll be spending the next 90 minutes. They are happy to answer your questions. Tank #1 - This is one of their Ocean Float tanks. The room the tank is located in is a little on the small side, but not cramped. The tank itself is tall, but the width of the pool isn't as wide as some of the others. This means that you're more likely to softly bump into the walls more often. It's not a problem once you're settled though. I have noticed a rare soft "knock" sound when floating in this tank. It's nothing major, but it could take you out of a deep meditation briefly. Tank #2 - This is another one of their Ocean Float tanks. But, this one has twinkly LED "stars" on the ceiling of the tank that softly pulse in the most beautiful and peaceful way. The tank is tall, but the width isn't as wide a some of the others. As I mentioned in Tank #1, this may mean you'll softly bump into walls until you're settled. This tank is one of my favourites. Tank #3 - This is the Evolution Pod and it looks like a space egg. Getting in and out of it feels you're about to embark, or return, from a journey through the cosmos. The width of the pool isn't as wide as some of the others, so you may softly bump into walls until you're settled. Tank #4 - This is the Zero Gravity tank. The room the tank is located in is probably the largest and the lighting is a dreamy soft blue. It feels like you're in a float room aboard a giant spaceship. The feel of the room is fantastic. The tank itself is tall and wide. It's almost perfect, but I have noticed a rare soft "knock" sound when floating in this tank. It's not major, but it has knocked me out of deep meditation a few times. This is one of my favourite tanks. Tank #5 - This is one of their Float Pools. Unlike the others, this is not an enclosed tank. It's an open pool. It's probably perfect for anyone who's claustrophobic. The walls around the pool are tiled and there's not really a space age feel to it. It's nice though. The size of the room next to the pool is on the small side, but the pool itself is wide. There are a couple things I don't like about this pool. First, there's a bright blue overhead light that turns on when your float is done. In my opinion, it hits you like walking out of a movie theater on a sunny day. Not the most relaxing way to emerge from sensory deprivation. I've also noticed a slightly cool draft the last 5 to 10 minutes of my float. Tank #6 - This is one of their Float Pools. It's not an enclosed tank. It's an open pool. It's probably great for anyone who's claustrophobic. The walls around the pool are tiled and there's not really a space age feel to it. It's nice though. The size of the room next to the pool is on the small side, but the pool itself is wide. I've noticed a slightly cool draft the last 5 to 10 minutes of my float in this room. One of the things I enjoy about Float On is the rainbow coloured LED shower heads that change colour. It's a fun touch. Their shampoo also smells like 7-Up or Sprite. It makes me smile. I also like that, when your float is done, they play calm music to ease you out of your relaxing float. Although I really like Float On, I was charged once for one of my unlimited free floats. The issue was resolved quickly though. However, I have been asked to pay for a couple of my other free floats a couple times before reminding them that the floats are free. Their online booking system also isn't currently set up (at the time of this review) to recognize when you've qualified for free floats. These aren't major issues, but if you get a membership, keep an eye on what you're charged. That said, I've had the deepest meditation experiences of my life at Float On. I always feel really relaxed after a float here, and I would recommend the place to anyone. It's a great experience. read more

First time floating here, I called and asked for a room recommendation. They told me which rooms were best for me, and I mentioned I didn't want to be cold, so they recommended the pod. So fast forward to the session itself, the girl was very nice in introducing me to the space. I showered, then hopped in. When you float, the top half of your chest and stomach and arms are exposed to the air, and I immediately noticed I was cold. I tried to wait and let myself adjust to the temperature, but the cold was so distracting, I was so aware of the parts of me exposed to the air. So I tried to peek my head out and call for help in raising the temperature. No one came. I was in my birthday suit with a thick hardening layer of salt on me, so next I tried to call the front desk. I called multiple times with no answer. I tried to send a text, no response. So finally I put on a robe and waddled out to the front, which was empty. I called for help, and finally someone appeared, and I explained to them I was cold, and could they please turn the temperature up. By now about 30 minutes of my 1.5 hour session had passed. I went back in the room, tried to take a really hot shower to warm up my body, then reentered the pool. There was about a 5 minute window where I felt warm enough to try to relax, and then the cold hit me again. For some reason the room stayed cold even after I asked them to turn on the heat. I started to try splashing myself with the warm water, I could feel my stomach gurgling from discomfort of being exposed to the cold air. Finally I made the call as I was sitting in fetal position in the salt and dark, this wasn't working for me, and I don't have to keep trying to make it work when I was so physically uncomfortable. So I turned on the light, checked the time, I had about 30 minutes remaining. I took another long hot shower and washed all the salt off my body and out of my hair. It's a ton of salt. After I came out and explained my experience, the girl offered that my next float be free. But I'm not really sure I'd want to come back. I do wish it had been easier for me to find/talk to someone when I needed help, and I'm not sure why I felt no temperature difference after the fact. It's a bit disappointing as I was looking forward to that weightless, floating in space feeling. But it's hard to relax when you're so aware of where the water ends and where the air is hitting your skin. I did appreciate the amenities like the robe, head circle, slippers, shampoo, conditioner, etc. read more

This is the very first time I've floated so first off I'd recommend reading the previous reviews as there are good details shared below. What I'd add is that the copy on their site says you don't need to bring anything and I'd amend that to say bring whatever personal items you need to shower. A towel, a robe, plastic slippers, shampoo, liquid bath gel, earplugs, swabs, petroleum jelly for any cuts and tissues are offered. No comb and no washcloth. It's a bit tricky to shower off and vacate the room within the 10 minutes suggested. There is considerable salt on your body and with their low-flow water pressure and nothing other than your hands and soap to remove all that salt, it takes some time. I'd asked where I could dry my hair before and after my soak and was directed to the bathroom. It happens to be the only bathroom so a line was forming while I dried my hair and it affected the room turnover time. So, while they were nice enough to allow me to do so, it's not really something they should suggest they can accommodate. Today there was construction outside so there was constant noise getting in the way of my sensory deprivation. They should have disclosed that to me beforehand, I think. But by the end of the float the jackhammering stopped and the music came on telling me my float was over...and THAT was when my euphoria kicked in. All of a sudden I was not feeling my body at all and my thoughts evaporated. That was the sensation I was hoping for! So, next time I will definitely try to incorporate atmospheric music into my float. read more

I'll be focusing on the facility itself as opposed to the general experience of floating in a sensory deprivation tank (which, for the record, is great and you should totally try it). I love coming here to float! As soon as you walk in the door the place just feels tranquil. There are six different rooms you can book an appointment to float in, each with slightly different characteristics. The first time I did a float the attendant walked me through the entire process and provided a lot of great tips on how to have a great float. You can just sense the staff's enthusiasm about floating. The rooms have everything you need, including a shower to use before and after you float, moisturizer to use afterwards. When I come here to float I feel rejuvenated afterwards. It's such a great experience. read more

Do you float? If you do, then you can skip this. Do you want to try floating for the first time? If so, this is a great place to start. They can and will gladly answer everything - no matter how detailed/newb/etc (I had a lot of these). Just go. And enjoy it. It's awesome and an awesome place. read more

This review is a bit late..... as I tried Float On when they first opened (and had really good deals on Groupon!) Not going to lie, it was extremely weird and something I've never done before. Not sure it even serves the purpose it claims to serve. Or maybe it was just me not using it correctly. Basically, you lay in a sound-proof, light proof tank in about ten inches of water and just... "forget about the world". Well it was hard for me to do that, because I tried drowning myself (not suicide, just to see if it will work). Well it doesn't, and you will literally be floating in ten inches of water for 90 minutes haha. The people working were super nice. If I remember correctly, they even give you tea and chocolate too! Location is super sketch, even on the inside, but it works given the nature of their business. In the end, it was something new, neat, and weird to try. I think everyone should try something like that whether it actually works or not. read more

Float On indeed. I've floated once before with mixed feelings about the experience. I'm fully into and support the idea of utilizing the experience to detach from your physical body and try to use that for deeper meditation and internal reflection. All the woo woo aside it's just a really nice relaxing way to focus and feel reinvigorated. My previous experience was at a place that has float tanks but a big difference was that Float On ONLY does float tanks. They've got this dialed for sure. The rooms are all thoughtfully laid out with top of the line equipment and modern clean lines and/or quaint cozy design. A little bit of every taste so you can find a room you love and if you become a regular book your fav spaces. While a single float is expensive it's worth the attempt and I would recommend trying it a handful of times to figure out how best to utilize it for you. It'll take you time to start to find your peace, stay still for so long or even figure out the right head/neck height if the natural float position isn't comfortable for you. They are here to help and happy to do so. They gave me 3 different types of neck/head floats as my previous experience my face was too far into the water. The salinity level here seemed to be enough to keep my eyes comfortably out of the water. But I did try all options in the end to see what worked best for me. They have everything you need from shower flips, to towels, robe and after water cotton swabs and ear drops if necessary. And PERsonally the topper to all of their care and thoughtfulness is the free tea. A whole slew of loose leafs with big mugs and honey to make it perfect... it really is these kinds of touches that win me over. Pro tip: They do offer a 1/2 price float on your birthday week. To book that find what room and time you'd like and just email them requesting a bday float with that info. Look a week or two ahead of time. Bring your ID and payment method when you check in. Float On brah, Float On. read more

WOW! I have never gotten such a cool response from a business owner before. I really like how he addressed my concerns: "Hi Lisa! I wanted to respond to your review, first to say that I'm glad you enjoyed your experience, and second to let you know that we've been upgrading our rooms and have addressed almost all of your concerns. We've been taking the tanks out of the rooms one by one and spending a week on each float room doing new construction and adding pebble tiled floors. All the rooms now have brighter lights for showering and dressing, as well as dim lights for during the float. Salt... just gets on everything. We wipe down surfaces between floats but in the end it's an impossible battle. Pebble tile looks and feels much nicer on your feet. Old door is gone (it was actually only off it's hinges in preparation of construction). New trashcans in rooms Fan has been replaced, and new fan is hidden from view." read more

It was an awesome experience! I will be back to do it again! I tried it with the lid closed and open. With lights on and off. I stayed in the whole 90 minutes. I thought I heard a woman singing at one point and a train. My mom and I went together for my birthday. It was clean. I will be trying the other style of chamber next time! read more

Float On - Room # 3 pod. - Float Spa Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Super cool. We had the Mercury (Merc Perk) discount which got us in for half price. It was our first time and it was pretty amazing. I wish we had float tanks in Sacramento... Just make sure you get all your experimenting out of the way up front. I tried to switch positions mid float and it really threw me off. Make sure you keep the water out of your eyes and remember to use the ear plugs! read more

Just completed my first float. Pretty cool and I think the next time will be better after managing anticipation etc. All Pros: clean place with plenty of privacy.

Great rooms and wonderful customer service. Covid screening practice is top notch. We've been going here for a few years and must say initially their customer service felt a bit cold. Our recent experiences have been quite better and we appreciate it. This makes it a 5 star review from me. read more

I went back for my birthday this year! I didn't bump into walls, I was able to breathe easily (and when it felt stuffy, I opened the door for a few minutes), I was easily able to tell when my time was up, I loved the kombucha tap out in the lobby and I really can't think of anything I didn't like. It's expensive and it's a treat you can do for yourself. read more

Float was okay, could have been a little quieter though. When we first got there the lobby reeked of weed (theres a dispensary out back so it probably always smells like that.) Nobody is there to check you in at first, so it was kinda confusing. The guy that checked us out was kind of a douche, just seemed like a typical macho-meat head. When I used the bathroom the toilet was unflushed which was pretty gross. I know its not really their fault someone didn't flush their dookie, but it was still pretty nasty. When we were taken back to our rooms we got a tour of how to use the tank (don't know why, its just a bathtub so how hard could it be to figure out..) The float was decent, definiately a trip. I kept hearing dripping from the shower though so that was a bummer. I could also hear people talking real loud, probably the meat-head by the sound of it. All in all you should try it out. Its a lot cooler than I thought it was gonna be. Might be back soon, might also try another float place in town. read more

Great experience tonight at Float On. Staff are super friendly and kind and the facility is super clean. I was in the pod. I am claustrophobic but I like to challenge this fear from time to time and once I was settled in I didn't think about it. (They do have more open rooms if close quarters freak you out). The time went by quickly and as soon as it was over, I realized the shift and how much I needed it. Nothing like completely escaping for 90 minutes. Highly recommend as an end to the work week treat. read more

I had an amazing experience at Float On Friday night. I had looked into this zero gravity experience several times over the years but had never taken the plunge. My wife got me a gift certificate for a 90 minute float and this was the night. I paid a lot of attention to my experience, I'm going to be pretty detailed but the bottom line if you don't want to read it all is that I can't recommend it highly enough! I think it could be a life changing experience for me and I hope you will take the opportunity to try it for yourself! The people and facilities at Float On were fantastic, so I certainly endorse them! I don't advertise this fact, but it is important that I share it here for putting this topic and my experience in perspective. I have a degenerative spine condition that has resulted in my having a 5 level fusion in my lower back. This means I have 5 vertebrae fused together as one using bone grafts and titanium screws. My first back surgery was as a middle schooler and I had a second in my early 20s. It also means that my normal state of being is one of pain. I have documented pain tolerance that is off the scale and I do quite well at living a mostly normal life. But, the simple fact is I have not experienced a moment without pain in nearly 40 years... until tonight... I called and made my appointment and spoke to a wonderful woman who took time to answer questions for me and help me choose the perfect tank. She gave me a couple of great tips, most profound was to bring fresh socks so after the experience and cleansing shower you aren't putting on socks you've worn all day. I took it one step further and brought comfy flannel pajama pants too to wear home afterwards. I arrived for my 9pm float about 15 minutes early and found a comfy chair in the waiting area where they provide tea and water. When the time came I had a quick tour of the space. The tips given me that helped the most were a series of techniques to relax the neck, which is often the hardest thing to do on a first float (and proved so for me). The floatation was effortless. The first 70 minutes or so of my float I learned and experimented with positions to gain progressively more relaxation. Roughly 70-75 minutes into the float I interlaced my fingers behind my head again. This time I had my hands resting on my head. I tipped my head back the furthest I had all evening, the waterline now just above the eyebrows. For me, this was the magical position! My neck took another step towards full relaxation. My back felt warm and that feeling flowed all of the way to my toes. The only feeling I can compare it to are the super strong post surgery epidural drugs controlled by buttons in the hospital. I'm sure it had to be a natural release of endorphins. I just kept my eyes closed, my head back, and drank it all in! It was an almost euphoric feeling. What felt like several minutes later about 80-85 minutes into my float something truly unprecedented happened to me. My neck had just a slight amount of pain but it really was minor and very localized. I was near total relaxation and had a strange feeling I just couldn't place or quantify from my back. It suddenly dawned on me that strange sensation from my lumbar spine was not something I was feeling, it was something I WASN'T FEELING! My back was 100% pain free! I'm not even sure I know what that is or what that means! It is something so foreign to me that I didn't even recognize it for what it was. It has been literally four decades since I've experienced such a thing. It was a mind blowing thought to process. I actually have tears welling up in my eyes just writing this right now! This experience was truly life altering for me. I hope it might encourage someone else to find a similar joy for themselves! read more

Amazing experience, and thank you Orion for the gift. Very new agey, free tea, kombucha on tap, books on flotation and such all around. Sure a lot nicer set up than the coffin-ish, enter from the front tank i'd experienced 30 years ago. more a physical experience than mental/trippy, and my body enjoyed it, feeling kinks in shoulder and such. had the bigger tank and at 6' 6" was able to (without trying) rotate slowly in the tank. i know the guy working there gives the same spiel dozens of times and shift but that doesn't have to be so obvious. read more
