Point Zero Flotation Center
01.
Floatation therapy, where you lie in a tank of water with an extremely high content of salt, was created in the 1950s by US scientist John C Lilly to study sensory deprivation – now it’s used to treat a variety of ailments, including sports injury rehab, as a recovery session after exercise and to relieve stress. The feeling of weightlessness created by all that salt is also said to be beneficial to expectant mums looking to relieve back and torso pain. In Khalifa City treatments take place in a pod (for one person) or a cabin that can host two people – the latter is aimed at first timers with concerns about being in a small, confined space.
