Congratulations to Floatworks Customer Tosin Oke who was recently crowned African Champion. The world class triple jumper stormed past the competition with a massive jump of 17.22m securing Tosin and Nigeria with Gold! Tosin is one of many top athletes that use the i-sopod floatation tanks at Floatworks…. proof that floatation is for champions!
50% larger than other tanks on the market with a clean, modern and appealing design “a float tank for the 21st century!”
“The pace of modern-day life, the credit crunch, and the financial crisis is making many people feel extremely stressed”
London, UK April 2009: The Floatworks is the world’s largest floatation centre and receives something in the region of 1200 customers each month to its nine-tank centre.
Floatation therapy is based on the revolutionary scientific method of Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy also known as R.E.S.T.
The high-tech i-sopodcontains 1000 litres of water and 525 kg of Epsom salts, creating a 30cm silky solution so buoyant that everyone floats effortlessly on the surface, no matter what their size or weight.
The water and air are heated to skin temperature, 35.5C, so that once settled in the environment you cannot tell which parts of your body are in contact with the water, and with gravity pushing down and the buoyancy pushing up in an equal force, you find yourself in a simulated zero gravity environment.
As external stimuli is kept to an absolute minimum (you choose whether to go the whole hog and shut the door and turn the interior light off) and gravity has been eliminated, the usually dominant logical side of the brain is left with virtually nothing to do, and slowly synchronises with the creative side. This leaves the client in a meditative state, almost identical to the brief feelings you get just before you slip into deep sleep each night.
Buddhist monks spend years of training and practice trying to reach this Zen-like state…. But all you have to do is turn up, climb in and thei-sopodwill induce the same effects, all without any effort on your part at all.
“Floatation; it’s the cheats’ way to deep meditation”

PHILLIPS IDOWU has been banking on a flotation tank to sink his Olympic rivals.
The Londoner spent last year battling a back injury and the floating treatment has paid off.
Triple-jumper Idowu, 29, now goes into the Beijing Games as the only British athlete ranked No1 in the world.
He leaped 17.58 metres at the Olympic trials last month as he warmed up for his attempt to follow in the footsteps of world-record holder Jonathan Edwards and win gold.
He said: "Most days before I came out here I was in a floatation tank for about an hour."
The Floatworks was first established in 1993 and we now operate 9 tanks and receive over 1300 customers each month. We also manufacture the i-sopod floatation tank and sell these in Europe, Asia and the US.
