I'd been interested in this idea - floating, weightlessly, in a warm, low-sensory environment - for well over a year when I finally booked my first session.
Wow! I get it. In fact, I think I felt better leaving Think Tank than I do when I leave my massage appointments . . . and that's saying a lot.
Joe, the owner, was super friendly and a gracious host. His exuberance for the product he offers is genuine and his desire to create the best possible experience for me was refreshing. He explained everything thoroughly, took good care to emphasize any safety issues with getting in and out of the tank, and I could have stayed and talked with him for hours. I would have, too, had I not another appointment looming.
The tank itself was much more comfortable than I'd hoped; even at my large size (6'3 and generally big), I fit quite nicely in the tank. The door was huge and once I lowered myself into the water, I found it easy to navigate the process.
It took me about ten minutes to relax; in fact, I opened the door to the tank (it felt a little warm and a little claustrophobic for me with it open) and sat up twice as I tried to get my bearings. Once I relaxed my neck, let my ears fall under the water, and let go of the tension in my body, I realized why Joe was so excited about floating.
It was almost magical.
I highly recommend you try floating; I walked away feeling lighter, more relaxed, and even traffic on the way to the cell phone store couldn't upset me afterward.
That's pretty epic. read more
