While floating is generally suitable for almost everyone, there are some situations and health conditions to be aware of when planning your float.
Floating is not recommended in the following cases:
- Large open wounds (small cuts can be covered with petroleum jelly available in our rooms)
- Epilepsy (only with written consent from a physician)
- Kidney dysfunction
- Heart conditions (only with written consent from a physician)
- Pregnancy: Floating is generally safe for pregnant individuals,, Float tanks have been used and studied since the 1950s, and no negative effects on pregnancy have been observed. However, every pregnancy is unique, and if you're uncertain, we recommend discussing it with your doctor.
- During menstruation, floating is possible, like when visiting a spa.
- Tattoos: Wait until new tattoos have healed before floating.
- Hair dye: Wait at least two weeks after hair coloring, or until the dye no longer comes off on a towel after showering.
- Tasapaino-ongelmista kärsiville (esim. Menierin tauti). Erityisen herkän tasapainoelimen omaavien on mahdollista kokea kelluessa huonovointisuutta. Tämä on kuitenkin hyvin harvinaista ja menee yleensä nopeasti ohi tankista noustua.
If you’re unsure whether floating is suitable for you, we recommend discussing it with your doctor.
