The Float Factor is a locally owned, highly rated float therapy spa on Madison's west side. Floating (aka sensory deprivation, floatation therapy) gives your body and mind a time-out from the stresses of daily life. Our float chambers drastically reduce outside stimulation – gravity, temperature, touch, sound. The Epsom salt in the chamber (over 1000 pounds) allows your body to float effortlessly, taking pressure off of muscles, bones and joints. After a while the boundaries between you and the water seem to dissolve. With no body to attend to, the mind is free to explore and expand, so that unparalleled relaxation and healing are possible.
