River Relaxations

Overview

Rivers Relaxation is Northeast Indiana’s only floatation relaxation center and Fort Wayne’s exclusive float therapy center, specializing in sensory deprivation float tanks, infrared sauna therapy, massage chairs, and oxygen bar sessions. Located at 10540 Coldwater Road, Fort Wayne, IN 46845, it offers a unique wellness experience focused on deep relaxation, stress reduction, and therapeutic benefits that surpass traditional massages or meditation.

The overall atmosphere is one of profound calm and privacy. Clients enter private, lockable float rooms with massive tanks filled with 150 gallons of heated water (94.5°F) saturated with a half-ton of Epsom salts, creating neutral buoyancy. External stimuli are minimized through soundproofing, dimmable lights, and optional earplugs, allowing the mind to achieve a meditative state more restful than 8 hours of sleep. The center emphasizes cleanliness, with advanced filtration, UV light, and ozone sanitization. Emerging from sessions, clients report sharpened senses, heightened creativity, emotional relief, and lasting peace.
