Floating in Belgium: Discover the calm at Aqua Floating Limburg

In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it's essential to find moments of rest and relaxation. Floating, a unique method to release stress and tension, is now available in Belgium at Aqua Floating Limburg. This wellness center in Lauw, near Tongeren, offers a safe haven where you can escape the chaos of the world and enjoy the benefits of float therapy. In this blog, we will explore what floating entails, its advantages, and what to expect during your visit to Aqua Floating Limburg.

What is Floating?

Floating is a form of therapy that uses buoyancy to relax both the mind and body. You lie in a specially designed float tank filled with a saline solution that is so dense you can effortlessly float on the surface. These tanks are soundproof and maintained at body temperature, allowing you to fully relax without any distractions from the outside world.

A float session at Aqua Floating Limburg lasts about 90 minutes and offers an experience equivalent to 4 to 6 hours of deep sleep. During this time, you can completely unwind, away from all sensory stimuli. There is no sound, no light—only you and your breath—which creates an ideal environment for self-reflection and relaxation.

The benefits of floating

Physical relaxation

Floaten biedt een diepgaande ontspanning van je spieren. De drijfkracht van het zoute water zorgt ervoor dat je gewichtloos bent, wat de druk op je gewrichten en spieren vermindert. Dit maakt floaten bijzonder nuttig voor atleten en mensen met een actieve levensstijl, omdat het kan helpen bij het versnellen van herstel na intensieve training.

Mental calmness

In addition to physical benefits, floating also offers significant advantages for your mental health. It helps reduce stress, anxiety, and even symptoms of depression. During a float session, your mind can unwind, contributing to improved mental clarity and creativity. Many people report being able to focus better and handle stressful situations more effectively after a session.

Improved sleep quality

Regular floating can significantly enhance your sleep quality. It not only calms your mind but also brings your body into a state of deep relaxation, contributing to better rest. Studies have shown that float therapy can help with insomnia and other sleep disorders.

Pain relief

For those suffering from chronic pain, such as fibromyalgia or arthritis, floating can provide relief. The unique conditions in the float tank can help reduce pain and promote healing. The combination of buoyancy and relaxation alleviates muscle tension and improves circulation, contributing to faster recovery from sore muscles and joints.

Facilities

Aqua Floating Limburg is equipped with modern float tanks that meet the highest hygiene standards. Each tank is imported from Romania and installed in its own soundproof room. Before stepping into the tank, you can refresh yourself under a luxury shower, helping you get into the right mental state.

The float experience

A float session begins with a brief introduction and explanation of the process. You can choose to float in swimwear or nude, depending on your comfort level. After a relaxing shower, you step into the tank, where you can enjoy 90 minutes of complete silence and weightlessness.

To enhance your experience, the session is often accompanied by soothing music and ambient lighting, helping to calm your mind and create a relaxing atmosphere. At the end of the session, you can gradually return to reality, refreshing yourself again in the shower and taking advantage of the care facilities.
