Float Seattle - Greenwood

Overview

Float Seattle is a premier wellness center specializing in float therapy (sensory deprivation tanks filled with Epsom salt solution), complemented by infrared saunas and advanced recovery services. It provides a weightless, unplugged experience designed to rejuvenate the mind, body, and spirit, helping users ease stress, relieve pain, boost creativity, and enhance mindfulness.

Notes

• What makes it special: Combines float therapy’s unique mental/physical reset (superior to hot tubs per blog comparisons: true weightlessness, sensory deprivation, no time limits/overheating risks) with sauna/contrast therapies for comprehensive recovery. Proven benefits backed by research (e.g., PTSD, chronic pain, SAD, athletic performance). Exceptional hygiene exceeds pools/hot tubs. Regular blog on tips (e.g., hair color precautions, mini-retreats). Ideal for athletes, stressed professionals, mindfulness seekers—sauna elevates with heat benefits alongside floats.
