Formerly Bodymind Syracuse, in October 2022, long-time manager and veteran Glenn took over…read moreownership, and rebranded as Stasis Float Center with a focus on float & salt therapy.
I'd done a float therapy session at another establishment and loved it. As someone who's pretty much in some sort of physical pain at all times, float therapy was pretty much the only time I've been completely pain-free and comfortable and I recommend everyone gives it a try at least once. My wife came across a deal Stasis was running for solo floats, so I figured I'd give them a try.
Stasis has 2 different ways to float, deprivation style tanks and open pools. I prefer the open pool option, so I booked my session during a recent staycation. You have to book your appointments, no walk ins, as there are only a couple rooms and they are 90 minute sessions, so they're blocked off for you. The employee at the desk was very friendly and is very informative if you're a first timer.
I found the open pool room enjoyable, the shower is right there for your before/after shower, you have the option of having a dim light on if you prefer, and there are amenities like lotion, soaps, etc. This open pool, while plenty big enough for me (6 ft, 300 lbs), was much smaller than the other tank I'd been in, so any small movement while floating would eventually move you towards the edges and you'd have to recenter, however.
My only issue with Stasis was I feel like they are more aimed at the "sensory deprivation" aspect of float therapy - the first establishment I floated at, you had the option of having calming music play during your float, but Stasis doesn't offer that and asks you to turn your phone off during the float.
Now, I understand the sensory deprivation aspect if that's something you're looking for, but I mostly float for pain reduction, so for me, complete silence is not my preference, so I do wish there was an option to either have music play or be able to attach your phone to a speaker in the room.
Despite those very small issues, I did book another session as they offered a lowered price again on my way out, and essentially my experience was the same as far as pain reduction. If you've ever been interested in float therapy, I absolutely recommend it as a great way to reduce pain, and Stasis is a decent place to give it a try.
