International Floatation Summit - London 2010


In September of this year the first 2 day International Floatation Summit was held in London, England for Float tank centre owners, researchers and Floatation tank manufacturers – as a first conference it was limited to 25 delegates from 10 different countries. It was an overwhelming success and it is fully expected that it will be a yearly event held in different countries.

One very interesting and encouraging piece of information we discovered is that there are 150 floatation centres in Sweden which is particularly remarkable from a population of just 9 million. It is believed that the reason this country in has so many floatation centres is that the government has produced a good body of positive research on floatation tank use.

We also learnt from the delegates that attended the summit that floatation appears to be gaining popularity around the globe which is certainly verified by the number of enquiries that we receive each week for our i-sopod tank.

Attendees in no particular order: Andrea Bosch, Benjamin Tochtermann, Bernard Meloche, Dick Westerneng, Frank Rodriguez, Fred van Pol, Glenn and Lee Perry, Graziano Giannini, Harald Kløve, Karl Walker, Konstantin Starojitski, Luca Bedeschi, Mark Frickel, Peter Bell, Roderick Borrie, Roland Hummer, Stefan Gerleman, Tamara Russell, Tim  Strudwick, Veiko Lasting and Chris Koster

Floatworks launch the i-sopod floatation tank!

Press Release
Floatworks: Launch their all new ultimate sensory
relaxation device, the i-sopod

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-sopod contains 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 the i-sopod will induce the same effects, all without any effort on your part at all.

“Floatation; it’s the cheats’ way to deep meditation”
