Overview
FLO2S is a wellness center in Atlanta, GA, specializing in flotation therapy (also known as sensory deprivation or isolation tanks) and infrared sauna therapy. Rather than traditional saunas, it emphasizes advanced relaxation techniques using Restricted Environmental Stimulation Technique (R.E.S.T.), developed in the 1950s. The facility provides a serene, light-proof, sound-insulated environment for deep relaxation, detoxification, and therapeutic benefits. Visitors float effortlessly in a shallow pool of 25% saturated Epsom salt solution (seven times denser than seawater), achieving weightlessness like an astronaut in zero gravity. Combined with infrared saunas, the experience promotes muscle relaxation, pain relief, stress reduction, and mental clarity. The overall atmosphere is calming and restorative, blending science-backed therapies with modern spa elements for physical, emotional, and spiritual rejuvenation—like a “bath AND a nap!” Testimonials highlight relief from back pain, pregnancy aches, stress, and even post-surgery recovery, making it ideal for athletes, busy professionals, and those seeking holistic wellness.
Features & Amenities
- Float Tanks/Chambers: Oasis tanks vs. Cave/Time chambers—light-proof, sound-insulated capsules with 30 cm deep Epsom salt solution for effortless buoyancy and zero-gravity sensation.
- Infrared Saunas: Low-temperature (105-130°F) far-infrared therapy for deep tissue penetration, producing “fat-sweat” to eliminate toxins, heavy metals, and chemicals without intense heat.
- Massage Options: Aromatherapy massages (30-90 minutes), couples massages.
- Additional Amenities: Earplugs provided for floats; private, comfortable sessions; optional upgrades like ionic foot detox.
- Scientific Focus: Backed by research on brain waves (theta/alpha states), neurochemicals (endorphins), and homeostasis restoration.
- Hygiene Emphasis: Sanitized environments; discussions on float sanitation in blog posts.

Seven theories explain benefits: antigravity relief, theta brain waves for creativity, right-brain activation, triune brain harmony, endorphin boost, biofeedback-like control, and homeostasis restoration.
- Target Benefits: Pain/inflammation relief (back, pregnancy, cancer-related), stress reduction, better sleep, athletic recovery, mental clarity. Safe daily with hydration; accessible for heat-sensitive individuals.
- Community Proof: Glowing testimonials (e.g., Lis Saunders for back pain, Jill Levy for pregnancy, Chris Marji post-surgery). Blog/videos educate on sanitation, earplugs, tank types. Popular packages indicate high demand; YouTube integrations for demos.
