The tanks & rooms here

The vessel type is the single biggest thing to get right — especially if enclosed spaces make you uneasy. Here's what Bodyworks Massage & Wellness runs, drawn from their own site and reviews.

🌊Open float (no lid)

No lid to close over you — the answer for anyone who feels boxed in. Open pools, open rooms, or pods whose door stays open.

🥚Float Pods

The classic enclosed capsule with a hinged lid. Deepest sensory deprivation; you lie down and pull the lid to.

💧Open Float Pools

A room-sized open pool of salt water. Zero enclosure, easiest for two, most spacious of all.

Water & cleaning at Bodyworks Massage & Wellness

Sanitation is the thing seasoned floaters care about most, and most directories never show it. Between every float, the salt water should be pumped through fine filtration and disinfected — salt alone is not enough. From Bodyworks Massage & Wellness's own information: UV sterilization, ozone.

The float-industry standard is turning the entire volume of water over at least three times between sessions through a 1–10 micron filter, paired with UV and/or hydrogen peroxide or ozone. If a center doesn't publish its process, it's fair to ask.

From the reviews

Amazing. My therapist recommended massage as a way to foster brain health with this phase of recovery from a brain injury. It's already working! I did try the float mentioned below and omgosh- one of the most relaxing experiences I've ever had!! Highly recommended

★★★★★ — Carrie, Apr 2026

Beautiful environment, great energy & wonderful people. I enjoy going there monthly. Highly recommend salt float before massage. Katrina does a fantastic job with reflexology. Wish my finances would allow me to go more frequently. For new clients they have first time goers for $45.00 !😱 How awesome is that!

★★★★★ — Tina, Jun 2026

My 1st experience here was the float tank. It was AMAZING!! Ive been wanting to do one for about a year but wasnt able to find one locally and fairly priced. I paid for the "1st time client introductory offer". The staff was pleasant, helpful, and welcoming. The room was clean, accommodating, and relaxing.

★★★★★ — Mary, Apr 2026

The spa was very clean with a relaxing atmosphere. The people were pleasant and welcoming. The 'Pod' was an interesting and very relaxing experience. William my masseuse, did a good job addressing my sore spots! I fully intend to visit again in the near future.

Your first float at Bodyworks Massage & Wellness

Never floated before? Almost no one has their first time, and a good center expects it. Here's what to know. What it is: you float effortlessly in about ten inches of skin-temperature water saturated with around 1,000 lbs of Epsom salt — so dense you cannot sink. In the dark and quiet, with no light, sound, or gravity to react to, your nervous system downshifts. Before you come: don't shave or wax for a day beforehand (salt stings fresh cuts — they'll have barrier ointment if you nick yourself), skip caffeine, eat a light meal an hour or two before, and remove contacts. If you colored your hair recently, wait a few days. In the tank: shower first, put earplugs in before you get wet, and keep a fresh-water spray bottle within reach for salt in the eyes. You can leave the light or music on until you settle, then turn them off from inside. Hold your arms out for the first 20–30 seconds to stop bobbing, then let go. It takes a few tries — the first 20 minutes are usually your mind winding down. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to shower and get oriented.

Floating isn't for everyone: skip it with epilepsy, kidney disease, uncontrolled heart conditions, open wounds, a contagious condition, or in the first trimester of pregnancy without your doctor's OK. If in doubt, ask the center and check with a physician — this is general information, not medical advice.
