We understand that float therapy might be a new experience for many, so we’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help prepare you for your session at Ripple Recovery.
Floating involves lying in a pod filled with skin-temperature water and 500kg of dissolved Epsom salt. This creates a zero-gravity environment that reduces sensory input and promotes deep physical and mental relaxation.
Standard floats are 60 minutes, though 90-minute sessions are available for those who want to go deeper into the experience.
Most people don’t. The pod is spacious, and you remain in full control — you can float with the lid open, lights on, or gentle music if you prefer.
Absolutely. After every session, the water is filtered multiple times through UV sterilisation, micron filters, and medical-grade sanitation systems, ensuring it remains crystal clear and safe.
Many clients float once a week for stress relief or recovery. Others choose to float monthly for maintenance or multiple times a week during intense training or stressful periods.
