Floatation therapy

I went to City Relaxation Centre to experience the floatation therapy on last Sunday.

One of my best friends gave me the voucher of this therapy for my birthday (She's sooooo sweet!)

What is Floatation Therapy?

Floatation therapy is a method of rest. Basically, you float in very high salt water. Imagine people floating on the dead sea. It's like that... sorry I am not good at explaining... better to read the wikipedia page.

The staff in City Relaxation Centre explained to me that you would experience the gravity zero World. It help to refresh and relax both physically and mentally, and it even cures the blood circulation.
Ta da! Here is the tank!
I was in the tank... pretty scary!

Tips for floatation therapy

You'll get the explanation before starting, such as 'Don't touch your eyes' thing, but here are my tips for the therapy.
  • Don't do if you have any scars!
    I had my fingers cut. It's really hurt! ... I was very stupid! How couldn't I notice it?
  • Don't forget the ear plug!
    The staff forgot giving me the ear plugs. I was annoyed the water came into my ears during the whole session... yep, I was stupid!
  • Don't do if you are chrostophobic!
    Pretty small tank...
The person I've met in the lounge, he sounded that he had a great experience. He thought it was only 5 minutes, but it's already 1 hour passed.

I? ... no, rather I felt I wouldn't do that again. I don't know because of the small tank or no ear plugs, but I was sick after the session... I felt I got carsick. But, this may be the whole point of this cause this is the gravity zero World...!?

The venue, City Relaxation Centr, is ok. The staff is very friendly guy, so I don't want to say bad about that place. However, you can see the place is owned by a 'MAN' (sorry no offence). Not really 'Relaxation place' atmosphere. But, again the staff is lovely.

The nearest station is South Quay (DLR). 2 minutes walk. A bit difficult to find a place. Better to check the google map before you go.
