![]() Now something that a lot of people worry about, is that big ole lid and that they might get claustrophobic during the experience… YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CLOSE THE LID I got in a little before the water finished filling up. The staff press a button, the tank fills up by itself and starts the programme. If you didn’t know you had a cut before you get in, I’m pretty sure the salt water will let you know about it!! During The FloatĪs mentioned above, the float tank cycle is done automatically, so you don’t have to worry about a thing. It creates an invisible skin over cuts and scrapes. If you have any cuts, I was provided with a small sachet of gel. Plus the salt water may dry inside them and make them a little crispy when you get out! You don’t have to do it but considering your ears will be underwater for an hour, it is recommended. The last few optional steps included putting in ear plugs. ![]() I just wore a bikini and made sure I rinsed it off in the shower before I got in. I had no idea what I was supposed to wear during my float. But NOT to use the conditioner until AFTER the float. I was told to use the shampoo and the body wash, making sure I had washed off any deodorant. Everything was provided for the experience, including towels etc. Before Floatingīefore floating, I was instructed to take a shower while the pod was filling up automatically. I was then taken through to my float pod room and was given a run through of how it all works. They were right as you enter the building! My feet are a US 8 but found the medium size that I chose, a little too small! I would recommend going for the largest pair. I probably should have done this before running up to the desk in my ‘I’m late’ panic. I was told to take my shoes off, leave them by the door and change into a pair of their flip flops (minus the toe bar) rubber shower slippers. The staff will double check and ask you to confirm some of the points. Avoid caffeine and large meals 2 hours before floating.I’ve filled out many waiver forms for all the crazy sports I’ve done, but the one for float therapy is important to read through as there are several ‘rules’ (you have access to the waiver and information before arriving) such as: I literally ran through the door and up to the counter, I think the poor lady on the front desk was a little worried about me! My First Time Float ExperienceĪfter calming down (ever so slightly), I was sent into a cozy waiting room where I was given a glass of water and had to fill out a waiver form. I was the perfect candidate for float therapy when I first arrived at Float and Fly in Dubuque! Typically I had got stuck in traffic because of an accident and was already panicking that I wouldn’t get there in time for my appointment! I’m sure you know the feeling, constant clock watching, couldn’t sit still, biting nails, chewing on your lip, minor road rage at other people trying to push in front of you and make you even later! From relieving stress, depression and anxiety to helping with joints and muscles, thanks to the weightless feeling that the tank creates. This allows you to float in just a few inches of water, similar to the dead sea! Float and Fly Dubuque Floatation Therapy – What is it?įloatation Therapy is said to have lots of wellness and health benefits. This is a little different though, a float tank is like a giant bath filled with a saline/epsom salt solution. It was a kind of water bed in a pod which moved in a way that massaged you. I’m all for trying unique experiences and when I first heard about floatation therapy and float tanks, I had to try it out! I had seen something similar in a hotel lobby in Las Vegas a while back.
