Each year on May 12th, people worldwide come together to raise awareness for fibromyalgia, a condition that affects more than 12 million individuals across the United States. This day highlights the need for greater understanding of the chronic pain disorder, which often leaves sufferers searching for ways to manage their discomfort. At KumeFloat Spa in Oakland, we join this important conversation and offer an alternative path to relief through floatation therapy. Our goal is to help those with fibromyalgia find comfort, reduce pain, and experience deep relaxation through the benefits of floating.
Floatation therapy is a unique, therapeutic experience where guests float effortlessly in a pod filled with 1,000 pounds of Epsom salt dissolved in warm, skin-temperature water. This high concentration of Epsom salt creates a gravity-free environment, providing a sense of weightlessness. Without the pull of gravity, the body is free to fully relax, which encourages healing, reduces muscle tension, and promotes an overall feeling of tranquility.
Epsom salt, which is the key component in float therapy, has long been used for its healing properties. While commonly used for at-home remedies, the salt’s real power shines during a float session, where the sheer concentration of the solution can amplify the therapeutic effects.
Despite its name, Epsom salt isn’t actually a salt, but a mineral compound of magnesium sulfate. Magnesium plays a crucial role in many bodily functions, including muscle relaxation and pain reduction. It is a natural remedy for external aches and pains, making it particularly beneficial for those living with conditions like fibromyalgia, which often brings widespread discomfort to muscles, joints, and soft tissue.
While people have traveled to mineral-rich places like the Dead Sea for centuries to benefit from magnesium’s healing properties, float therapy brings similar benefits right to Oakland. Floating in a magnesium-rich solution can relieve muscle soreness, reduce inflammation, and calm the mind, making it a valuable treatment for those suffering from fibromyalgia.
At KumeFloat, our float therapy sessions combine the relaxing properties of Epsom salt with sensory deprivation, allowing your body to completely unwind. This combination can help alleviate chronic pain by reducing muscle tension, supporting lymphatic drainage, and relieving stress—key contributors to discomfort.
