FLOAT LAB® STORY


Crash started his work career in Washington D.C. in 1979 managing nightclubs with live entertainment. After 5 years of operational/managerial responsibilities, he moved back to California/Nevada to work in the Caesars Tahoe showroom doing production and live sound reinforcement specializing in onstage monitor mixing. In 1990 Crash got a liquor/cabaret license built and opened a 350-seat live entertainment venue while booking talent for four other venues. In 1992 Crash moved to Hollywood and started working for various sound companies and promoters doing high profile sound gigs all over Southern California. He also did national and international touring, started a band, built and ran a 60 studio 24-hour lockout rehearsal facility with 2 recording studios.

​

In 1999, he decided to finish up a 25-year relationship with narcotics and moved to Vegas to restart his sound career doing audio contract work for Casino Showrooms, special events and award shows. He rented a ranch 10 miles south of town, built a recording studio and was preparing to move forward with his music aspirations. While listening to his voice inside of an old water containment area, the overwhelming notion occurred to build and get other people to use a sensory deprivation chamber. Not words or an image, just the thought. Not knowing what sensory deprivation was, Crash built a tank to try. The chamber had such a significant effect on him it became his prime consideration.    

 

 

After he designed the first chamber in 1999, he opened a facility in Venice Beach housing his two original chambers. For many years, the interest was very slim. Sessions were $25, you could stay in all night. Then Joe Rogan contacted Crash to build him a proper chamber. In 2010 Float Lab® submitted a chamber for certification with NSF (National Sanitation Foundation). In 2013 after enduring the longest testing process in NSF’s 75-year history (almost 3 years) Float Lab® achieved both the NSF 50 and the UL 1795 certifications. Float Lab® became the world’s first and only certified for commercial use floatation system. Due to Joe Rogan’s influence, the number of people floating continued to escalate to a point where the 2 Chambers in Venice were booked months in advance. In 2013 Crash started work on Float Labs Westwood Facility to provide the Los Angeles community with more opportunities to Float in his chambers. The state-of-the-art Westwood facility opened in 2015 housing 7 Float Lab®, Chambers and is open 7 days a week.

Crash has been a pioneer in the floatation industry and has worked with authorities all over the world to establish and define proper standards. He currently is a member of the NSF joint committee and the chairperson for their Sensory Deprivation Task Group. Crash is also a member of the Center for Disease Controls CMAHC (Council for the Model Aquatic Health Code). Besides operating the 2 float facilities and manufacturing chambers with the patented disinfection process requiring no halogen chemicals, Float Lab® has been setting up the parameters for the Human Modification Project utilizing the Patented Cellular Influence Device. The research is set to start in 2019 and will be conducted by TRININE INC.

 

 

Our three Certified Float Lab cabins have state of the art medical grade filtration cleaning systems providing 250 gallons of ultra-purified water and 1,200 pounds of dissolved Pharmaceutical-grade Epsom salt. We are the only facility in Wisconsin to provide NSF and UL certified equipment that does not utilize harsh halogen disinfectant chemicals or hydrogen peroxide. No one wants to float in chemicals like that. Rest your mind to know you are a float away from a little escape in the all-natural process to experience complete weightlessness and deepened states of relaxation.

​

This very special treatment allows a floater to fully disengage and release tension like no other approach known. The Epsom salts draw inflammation from tissues while replacing magnesium in the body. Our bodies need it for over 340 chemical processes. Many people are deficient in magnesium. Schedule a float to replenish the essential minerals to function and sleep better. Reset and reconnect with yourself in an extraordinary way, providing lasting calming benefits for both the mind and the body that can last for days.

​​

Research of regular float practice has reported reduced pain, lowered blood pressure, improved mental clarity, regulated circadian rhythms for more restful sleep, eased aching muscles, decreased swelling of stiff joints, as well as naturally reduced stress hormones and cortisol levels in the body. While we do not attest that floating cures anything, numerous studies prove that relaxing and replenishing essential minerals can help with overall wellness.

​

Our clients come to have a little get away and desire to achieve deepened meditative states to unplug, unwind, and reset. Though floating is known to help manage symptoms of insomnia, anxiety, depression, pain, migraines, or arthritic issues, many of our clients simply love the anti gravity experience even if they don't have any health issues. We have many athletes as regular clients who report improved performance when floating before competitive events and quicker recovery when they have a float after heavy workouts.

​

You will have your own private room and shower. Towels, earplugs, organic soap, shampoo, and conditioner are provided. For your convenience, we accept all major credit cards. Before your first float experience, you will receive a short orientation, after which you’ll then be escorted to your private room. This room contains a personal shower and float chamber. You are required to take a shower prior to entering the float chamber. At the end of your session, you will hear gentle, soothing music to alert you when your time is complete. 

Schedule today! Our staff is excited to get you started with the ultimate in relaxation in your float practice.

Common Questions About Floating at Float Doctor

Common Questions about Floating at Float Doctor

What makes your facility
different than other float facilities in the state? We don’t add any harsh halogens (i.e.
chlorine or bromine), bleaches, or hydrogen peroxide in the solution.  We have the world’s only NSF 50 certified
floatation system approved for commercial use as of 2020. Other facilities use floatation pods, that are comparable in size
to a tanning bed and add chemicals to disinfect the solution. The certified
Float Lab chambers that we provide contain 14” of solution consisting of only
water and about 1200lbs of pharmaceutical grade Epsom salts. Clean. Pure. Salt
and Water. The way a float is meant to be. Our floatation chambers are 4.5’
wide x 8.5’ long x 7’ feet high.

What are some of the
benefits of floating? It is reported that most people have the following benefits associated
with floating; reduced stress, improved sleep, normalized blood pressure,
improved mobility, enhanced ability to concentrate, pain relief, strengthened
immune system, and reduced symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD. These
benefits can last for several days. It also may take a few float sessions for
the person to get the full “reset” to achieve some of these above benefits. It
is truly up to the person floating to focus on “letting go” and relaxing in the
tank.

Can pregnant women float? Yes. Pregnant women probably get even more
relief from floating than most people. The extra weight carried by the
mother-to-be can be very stressful due to the forces of gravity. Floating
eliminates the negative effects of gravity, which causes joint pain, inflammation,
and stress on inside organs. Pregnant women have also reported a reduction of
erratic movements of the baby inside the womb. This is due to a phenomenon
called the “mirror effect.” The baby is safe and secure inside the womb, while the
mother shares a similar relaxing experience in the float tank.

Is there anyone who
should not float? You
should not float if you are presently ill, have a large wound that is not
healed, incontinent, or have uncontrolled seizures. In these cases, please get
a doctor’s recommendation.

Can you fall asleep in
the tank? Yes, many
people safely fall asleep because of the heightened state of relaxation. You
can still absorb the Epsom salt benefits while sleeping.

Do flotation tanks go
by any other names? Yes,
the most common names are: sensory deprivation tank, float tank, hydro chamber,
and isolation chamber.

Can two people float in
the same tank? We
can accommodate parties of 3 at one time, but our tanks are intended to be a private
experience for each individual.

Can I float while
menstruating? Yes, please follow the same protocol
you would for swimming. However, if you are expecting a heavy menstrual cycle,
we ask that you reschedule your float for a better time of the month.

Do I wear a bathing
suit? No, you will have complete privacy in the room. A bathing suit is
not necessary for the float, but you might want to bring it for the sauna. A
suit may take away from the float experience. The less sensation you have on
your body, the easier it will be to enter deep relaxation. It is completely up
to your comfort level.

Do I shower before my
float session? Yes,
this will rinse off the oils the skin naturally produced and help the skin
absorb the magnesium in the Epsom salts. It will also reduce the amount of
contaminates entering the tank with you. 
We respect the tank here to offer the best experiences to our guests. It
is also recommended to shower after your float to remove the salt on the body.

I use Manic Panic hair
products, other facilities won’t let me float, can I float here? Yes, we do
not use any harsh chemicals in our filtration system. Therefore, there is no
hydrogen peroxide or halogens for your hair product to react with. Please make
sure that your color is set before floating to reduce our liners from getting
discolored.

What if I am
claustrophobic? It
is very unlikely that you will become claustrophobic in the chamber. It has
more space than a bottom bunk bed. There is little to no sensory input whilst
floating. Therefore, there is no reference of anything being close. It is very
often not a issue with our equipment.

What if I am not a strong swimmer? Floating doesn’t require any swimming skills. You’ll actually
float effortlessly no matter what shape or size you are.

Do I need to bring anything? If you have longer hair, you may want to bring a comb. And if
you wear contacts, please ask us for a case to use while you float. We also provide
towels, earplugs, organic conditioner, shampoo, and lotion.

Can I wear my contacts while I float? We recommend removing your contacts before your float, as
they could become a distraction if they become dry or you accidentally get salt
in your eyes.

What should I do to
prepare for my float experience? Don’t drink coffee or caffeinated beverages before a float as
this may hinder relaxation. Do not shave or wax on the same day of your float
as this can cause any nicks or sensitive dry areas to sting. Eat a light meal
an hour beforehand as it will help to quiet any digestion noises that your body
might make.  Also, be sure to use the
restroom before entering your float room.

What should I do when I am in the tank? Use restroom before your float. Put ear plugs (provided)
in ears prior to your shower. Upon entering the tank, we recommend getting
acclimated to being in the chamber. Make a mental note where the door is. Open
the door to be sure you feel comfortable with finding the door before you unwind
and relax. By orienting to where the door is, you will more likely remember
where it is located after your session is complete. Lying in the solution, stretch
out your body and find a comfortable position. Breathe slow and calmly as you
try to let go of any thoughts you don’t wish to indulge.

Occasionally, you might
need to stretch again as you come “in and out” of your meditative state.
Hearing your pulse or having other strange phenomenon (seeing colors, hearing
breathing, out of body feelings) may occur as your body learns to disengage
from the surroundings. Chronic pain may seem amplified for a brief moment
before that too desensitizes. The mind simply becomes more aware of it for a
short period prior to releasing the sensory input. Walk through anything
mentally that you don’t want to think about like it’s a cloud of smoke to
release it.
