Benefits of Prenatal Float Therapy

At Quantum Health & Wellness, we provide a top-of-the-line sensory deprivation tank with 900 pounds of Epsom salt that allows your body to float and feel weightless. Float therapy has extensive benefits for everyone, and even more specifically, it is beneficial for women seeking to get pregnant, women who are currently pregnant and postpartum women. Float therapy allows for intense relaxation of the body and mind, contributing to improved sleep, less stress and release of the increased pregnancy weight, among other factors.

Release physical & mental stress- Pregnancy can be a stressful time for women, mentally and physically. The additional weight is often uncomfortable to carry around, and floating allows you to relax and feel weightless, relieving the excess weight. It also helps to provide you with mental clarity, considering pregnancy may cause additional mental stress to the mother.

Relieve symptoms of depression & anxiety- With pregnancy can often bring feelings of depression and anxiety given all the hormonal changes that are taking place in a woman’s body. Float therapy allows you to feel centered and helps you to dedicate time to yourself to treat your body and mind to restful relaxation.

Improve sleep- Pregnancy can be uncomfortable for some women, and this often leads to poor sleep quality due to the additional weight in the belly, making it difficult to get comfortable at night. Float therapy clears your mind and keeps you relaxed for days following a float session, leading to improved sleep overall.

Connect with the baby- Many women have claimed that float therapy has allowed them the peace and clarity to feel a deeper connection to their body, and to their baby. The stillness of the float tank allows for deep, spiritual exploration into oneself and often results in intense relaxation for the baby as well.

Prepare for the birthing process- Considering birth can often be intense to experience, float therapy allows the mother the time to focus and visualize the birth she hopes to have. Also, the more relaxed and focused you are throughout your pregnancy, generally leads to a relaxed and focused birth process as well.
