What to Get Someone Who Has Everything
The reliable gap in most people's lives is not an object.

Floating After a Long Flight
Travel is sitting still while being constantly stimulated. A float is the exact inverse.
A lot of our bookings come from people who landed the day before.
Why it appeals after travel
Flying is a strange combination — almost no movement, and almost no quiet. Announcements, engine noise, screens, other people, recycled air. You arrive somehow both understimulated and overstimulated.
What an hour in the tank changes
No noise, no screen, no announcements, nothing requiring a response, and no pressure on your joints. Whatever else it does, it is the structural opposite of the day you just had.
Practical notes
Travel leaves most people dehydrated, so drink water before you come and more afterwards. Eat something small an hour or two beforehand. And if you are jet-lagged, think carefully about booking very late — falling asleep in the tank is harmless, but it does not help you reset a clock.
If you are coming off a long trip and want help finding a time that works, call us on (405) 340-0851.

The Float Tank Was Invented in Oklahoma City
Not adapted here. Not popularised here. Built here, at the VA hospital, in 1957.
