Floatation therapy is an escape from the constant stress of life’s daily pressures and a natural way to heal the body and mind. The concept is similar to the mineral salt baths in the Dead Sea in Israel. Eight hundred pounds of Epsom salt are dissolved into the spa tub in skin temperature water to create this effect right here in Alexandria, VA. Both lightproof and soundproof, this peaceful space frees you of gravity, noise, and other distractions. Floatation therapy brings the body back into homeostasis. Read our floating tips and watch our video on this page to get the most from your session.
Floatation Therapy
“The open-air design completely removes all feelings of claustrophobia. I cannot overemphasize the importance of having an open pool for anxious populations. Without it many of our patients would have refused to even try floating.”

Benefits of Floating
“Each day I become more and more convinced that the positive clinical benefits we are witnessing in our research are enhanced by Floataway’s masterful engineering.”

Types of Floating
Superior Evolution Float Pod

Synergy Float Spa has one Evolution float pod. Sleek design and smooth curves make the Evolution Float Pod stand out. Ours has custom features including passive ventilation, bench style edge seating, seamless design, starlight ceiling, and stainless hardware. It provides the subconscious feeling of being inside a mother’s womb. Only one person at time can float, and you can leave the pod lid open or closed. Synergy Float Spa recommends that each person float at least 3 times within a 30-day period to get the most out of the experience because each session builds on the other for the first three. We offer our biggest discount on a 3-float package to make it affordable to try it out. Most clients float for an hour at a time, but we allow you to customize it at Synergy Float Spa. You can even do an overnight float. For prices see our store.
Superior Float Cabin

We have two single person float cabins. Most float centers within central and south Florida have only float pods. Much larger than a Pod, if you think you might be claustrophobic then start in one of our rooms. We understand that each person is different which is why we offer 3 different varieties at Synergy Float Spa. After sampling many types of tanks, we believe that the cabin is a much better float experience. It’s a room inside a room, they have better sound cancelling and light shielding. And they are much bigger, as you can stand up inside them, so clients have less feelings of claustrophobia or isolation. Each tank has a passive ventilation system but in addition, because of the extra space most clients can breathe normally without any congestion that can be associated with other smaller tanks. All single person float prices are the same regardless of tank. See our store for prices.
Superior 2 Person Float Cabin

We have the only two-person float tank south of Jacksonville Florida. We believe floating is a solitary experience, however we understand there is strength in numbers therefore if you’re nervous about trying it, invite your significant other. Also great for a unique date experience. Ours has custom stars on the ceiling. Singles can also float in this tank and can spread out like a DaVinci man or woman and not be so confined. Our rooms are tall enough to stand up inside, like a walk-in closet. All float rooms have their own private showers, and most people float in the nude, but you can wear whatever you want. A two-person float does cost more than a single person but is less than two single person floats. See our store for pricing.
