UK-based Wellness One Group recently started offering the therapy which they say rejuvenates both body and mind.

This therapy is beneficial for various conditions, including chronic pain, insomnia, and anxiety, according to the company.

It also aids in athletic recovery, making it a popular choice for those with muscle or joint pain.

The therapy improves blood circulation, focus and cognitive clarity after a session, thanks to the calming environment.

The experience includes a massage feature, with 20 water jets that work through five anatomical zones to soothe muscles.

An atmospheric LED lighting system adds to the relaxing ambience, with colours adjustable to the user’s preference.

Traditional floatation therapy, originating in the 1950s, involves immersing oneself in a saltwater tank, allowing the body to float effortlessly due to the high salt concentration.

Often combined with sensory deprivation in a dark, soundproof pod, this method requires changing clothes and drying off afterwards.

In contrast, dry floatation therapy offers a more efficient experience, eliminating the need to change and making it ideal for a quick session, even during a lunch break.
