Zero gravity for tired muscles: recover faster between sessions.
Half a tonne of Epsom salt takes every gram of load off your joints and muscles, letting blood flow do its repair work unimpeded.
Training breaks muscle down; recovery builds it back. Floating removes gravity from the equation, letting every muscle fully release while magnesium-rich Epsom salt bathes the skin. With pressure off joints and soft tissue, circulation improves and the body can get on with clearing the by-products of hard sessions.
Studies with athletes show that floating after training reduces perceived muscle soreness and speeds the return to feeling recovered, alongside improvements in mood and sleep, both of which are key drivers of physical adaptation.
Legs that feel fresh a day earlier than usual, less next-day stiffness, and noticeably deeper sleep on float nights. Many members time their float for the evening after the hardest session of their week.
I float every Sunday after my long run. Monday legs are a different species now.
Book a session at London's award-winning float centre and experience the difference an hour of true stillness makes.
