FLOTATION THERAPY
Palm Ave Float Club, #05-01, 66 Kampong Bugis, 9151 6004, palmavefloatclub.com Think of the last time you spent an hour doing absolutely nothing. Meditation may come to mind, but even the light and sound around you can be a source of distraction. The best solution, offered by Palm Ave Float Club, is depriving your senses in a flotation tank.
Floating is not a new phenomenon. Neuroscientist John C Lilly invented flotation therapy in the 1950s. He discovered that in the absence of sensory input in the tank, the mind and body can receive optimal relaxation and rest. This offers a variety of benefits that span the physical, such as reducing back pain and quickening muscle recovery, and the mental, like soothing anxiety and boosting focus.
At the bright and restful lounge of the Palm Ave Float Club, which is nestled in a quiet space within the Lavender Street district, there is a guide for first-time floaters and introductory videos on what to expect. Six Dream Pods are available, with each private room holding one pod, although with the social restrictions at press time, the club could only admit a total of three guests at any one time. It would be a relief for claustrophobes to know that the pod measures 2.1m long and 1.4m wide – the most spacious in the industry.
