Silver Essence Floating Spa, Williamsville

Silver Essence Floating Spa's experts in floatation therapy help visitors drift away from mental and bodily stresses with two soothing treatments–floatation-therapy and infrared-sauna sessions. During flotation-therapy visits, patrons enter private sensory-deprivation pools/tubs to float effortlessly in 10 inches of skin temperature water, bolstered by 1,000 pounds of dissolved Epsom Salt to facilitate floating against the effects of gravity. Each session results in an experience unique to the individual, which may include mind and body relaxation, and can help treat conditions related to back pain, arthritis, and injury. While float therapy traditionally takes place in the dark, each tub is equipped with inside lights which may be used. Though Epsom salt effectively cleanses water on its own, the spa employs ultraviolet light and doses of ozone to ensure water is free of bacteria. A cartridge filter system, changed weekly, aids in creating squeaky-clean environments, filtering out tub contents 24 hours a day without the use of any harsh chemicals.

In addition to the flotation therapy, Silver Essence Floating Spa also facilitates detoxification with its infrared sauna, which can burn up to 600 calories each session. The infrared heat energy can also help relieve pain associated with fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
