What is Salt Therapy and Sensory Deprivation?
Sensory deprivation salt therapy combines the calming effects of floating with the naturally therapeutic benefits of Epsom salt–infused water to create a deeply restorative experience. During a sensory deprivation session, individuals float effortlessly in a tank filled with body temp water saturated with high concentrations of Epsom salt. This buoyancy allows the body to feel weightless, relieving pressure on muscles and joints and encouraging complete physical relaxation. With minimal sound, reduced light, and limited external stimulation, the mind shifts into a meditative state, helping reduce stress and mental fatigue.
The magnesium in Epsom salt is absorbed through the skin, which supports muscle recovery, reduce inflammation, and promote better sleep. Many people seek sensory deprivation salt therapy to ease tension, calm the nervous system, enhance mental clarity, and provide a break from the constant sensory input of daily life. This unique environment offers both physical and mental rejuvenation in a peaceful, spa-like setting.
What does the Epsom Salt do to your Body During Salt Therapy?
Epsom salt, or magnesium sulfate, is the powerhouse behind the benefits of float therapy. In our salt therapy tank, one thousand pounds of Epsom salt dissolve into the water, creating a buoyant environment that allows your body to float effortlessly. This weightless state removes pressure from your joints and muscles, helping your body relax in ways that are difficult to achieve anywhere else.
As you float, magnesium is absorbed through your skin. Magnesium is an essential mineral that supports muscle recovery, reduces inflammation, calms the nervous system, and helps regulate stress. Many guests notice improved sleep, reduced muscle soreness, and a deep sense of mental clarity after their session.
Salt Therapy Tanks for Athletes
Our salt therapy tanks at Paradise Float Spa provide a powerful blend of physical recovery, mental reset, and performance enhancement. The buoyant environment eliminates gravity’s pressure on muscles and joints. For athletes, this means faster recovery after intense training, reduced inflammation, and relief from soreness that can slow progress. The magnesium in the salt supports muscle repair, improves circulation, and can help prevent cramping—making it a favorite tool for runners, lifters, and competitors of all levels.
Unlike traditional recovery methods, our sensory-deprived environment removes external distractions, allowing the brain to shift into a restorative state. Many athletes report improved focus, enhanced visualization for competition, and deeper, more restorative sleep after floating. Whether preparing for a big event, healing from a workout, or maintaining peak performance, Paradise Float Spa offers a professional-grade recovery experience that supports both body and mind.
Enhanced Physical Recovery
Whether you’re managing a chronic condition, recovering from an injury, or simply feeling sore after a workout, salt therapy offers a powerful way to accelerate recovery for both the mind and body. The high concentration of salt in our tanks helps ease physical tension while also reducing the mental fatigue and stress that often manifest as muscle tightness and discomfort. At Paradise Float Spa, our sensory-supportive environment guides guests into a state of mindful relaxation, promoting faster physical restoration and improved performance in everyday life.
For those seeking an even deeper level of relief, we also offer a specialized hot tank. The combination of soothing heat and mineral-rich water acts as a therapeutic muscle soak, enhancing circulation, easing stiffness, and supporting the body’s natural healing process. Together, these therapies create a holistic recovery experience designed to help you feel and function at your best.
