Absolutely Blissful Felt Recharged Refreshed Afterwards
Absolutely blissful experience. I felt recharged and refreshed afterwards. But most importantly the staff were friendly and professional and the centre was clean and serene. I was a sceptic initially but Gravity has changed all that after one float. I have floated three times and urge anyone to come to Gravity float and immerse yourself in the whole experience more than once to really enjoy its benefits. I was lucky enough to meet the owners on my second float and I must say that I have never met a more dedicated and passionate business couple in my life. They have left their personal touch on this place. Sorry, I am off to Gravity right now for a float …..

Member Two Years Truly Say Place
I have been a member of Gravity Float for more than two years and can truly say that this place is a haven away from the hustles and bustles of everyday life. The staff are always so lovely, kind, patient and accommodating that I always feel welcomed here. The facilities are clean and the magnesium float pods are so rejuvenating. I can happily say that I will continue to be a member here and treat this as a sanctuary to enjoy some peace, solicitude and relaxation.

First Gift Card Partner Christmas Quite
Just had my first float experience thanks to a gift card from my partner for Christmas. I was quite anxious prior because I have experienced a stroke, I’m not by any means lithe and I’m a big girl. The staff who looked after me were lovely and helpful. The float itself was amazing. I struggle with mobility and couldn’t figure how I might bring the lid down while trying to get into the pod so I had to leave it open. It didn’t matter…I managed to let go and completely relax and focus on my breathing. Getting out was a challenge because I had to kneel to counter the forces of the float. Kneeling is extremely painful for me due to arthritis. In spite of the challenges, I’d really recommend this to anyone who lives with pain and anxiety. I came out feeling relaxed and could feel how it reduced the pain I experience immediately. I’m booked in again for next week! Bring it on.

Intro Pass Delivered Real Progress
Love this floatation centre for so many reasons. The staff are amazing, knowledgeable and happy to help. The manager is actually passionate about the healing power that is offered. The waiting area is super chill always a yummy tea and water on offer. The infrared sauna is equip with Bluetooth connection so I connect up a meditation mix through my mobile phone lay back and relax. A robe is provided for ease of then moving the the flotation room. The float rooms are large, shower equipped, music plays you have the option of leaving on or turning off pod lights and of course open or closing the pod lid. Afterwards you have plenty of time to shower, change and you can move to the ‘hair drying station’. This area has straighteners curlers and hair dryers. I bought an intro pass for infrared and float – which is CRAZY cheap to buy. Next on my list is trying the massage services. Highly highly recommend giving Gravity a shot the location is also super convenient afterward go for brunch, lunch or dinner at one of the amazing high st locations!

First Infrared Sauna Read Benefits Researched
This was my first experience with the infrared sauna. I had read the benefits and had researched. Everything I have read was positive. Easy to Navigate and your own private room. I had read what to do as a lead up, eat light and drink a glass of water before your session. And I have to say I loved it. Got up to 60 degrees, the highest recommended and it didn’t take long to feel the tension and muscle soreness leave the body. I am feeling great and very Zen. Cannot wait for next session. This is now the next day and I still feel great. I highly recommend the infrared sauna to anyone who has muscle soreness and suffers from ongoing injury also. I have started up running again and I also go to the gym and do resistance training and cardio and my hip flexor is a constant source of pain. I have felt the difference after only one session. Next will be the float pod to try.

Tried First Time Don Think Place
Tried floating for the first time and while I don’t think floating is for me, this place deserves a 5 star for sure. My technician explained the process and what to expect when floating thoroughly. Everything was clean and dry it was immaculate, not even a single hair or wet spot to be found on the floor. Shampoo, body wash, conditioner, towels, facial wipes, ear plugs, hair dryers etc all provided you literally just need to rock up and enjoy the relaxing experience. For those who do enjoy floating this is the place to come!

Ndis Access Makes Floats More Affordable
Been to gravity float several times now and every experience has been excellent. The staff are very friendly, welcoming and professional. The float pods and rooms are well taken care of and clean. They’re also now NDIS providers which makes it a lot more affordable for me and others on the NDIS to go more regularly. (The casual prices are still good if your not on the NDIS). I would highly recommend going to gravity float and I look forward to more appointments in the future.

Calm Relief for Anxiety and OCD
Floatation therapy has been a game changer for helping cope with anxiety and OCD. It is an activity that allows my brain to rest and give me calm and peace. The one hour floats feels like an uninterrupted 8 hours sleep. Let me not forget to also thank all of the staff as they have been accommodating and understanding, not to mention extremely welcoming, when I finally felt comfortable to discuss my reasons for seeking out their facility and services. Thank you to everyone I have interacted with at Gravity.

I've Other Spaces Try Sell Packages
I’ve been to other float spaces that try to sell you packages whilst you’re super zonked out afterwards. It’s not nice being constantly barraged as a consumer online let alone offline whilst vulnerable. This space did not do that. The add ons were gently mentioned, which I appreciated, as well as the signage in the rooms explaining the sequential procedure of the experiences. Float tank, Infrared – but I forgot to ask if you need to expose all of your skin to get the full benefits, or if laying/sitting in one spot is good enough. All in all, I enjoyed the space and would recommend. The inclusive take home ear plugs was a nice surprise and maybe worth an advertised mention too. Thank you

FAQs About Massage Therapy
Massage therapy may be covered with NDIS if it is included in your plan. Gravity is a registered NDIS provider. If remedial massage therapy is included in your extras you may be able to claim part of the cost of your remedial massage, check with your provider.
We have therapists who offer pregnancy massage sessions. Ask about their availability at the time of booking. We would also recommend booking in a float session prior to a pregnancy massage. Float and massage are wonderful therapies to support your pregnancy; either as a combination, or on their own.
Your massage therapist may require some initial information regarding your health history, any conditions needing to be addressed & the areas of your body requiring attention to firstly determine whether massage is appropriate for you. Your massage therapist may need to perform some assessments & tests to evaluate your condition & gather relevant information for the muscle groups requiring work. It is important to list all health concerns, allergies &/or any medications so that your therapist can adapt the session best to suit your specific needs without doing any harm.
Our massage therapists are adaptable to ensure that you are undressed only to the level that makes you comfortable. If you’re requiring a full body massage, it is generally advised to undress down to your underwear. Our therapists are fully trained in providing adequate draping & always ensure that client comfortability is top priority. Your massage therapist will give you full privacy to get undressed and comfortably positioned on the massage table with a towel to drape over your body.
The key difference is that Remedial massage targets specific parts of the body to relieve aches & treat injuries, while Relaxation massage helps ease generalised muscle tension & bring about a sense of rest in the body. Remedial massage therapy is a more dynamic & goal focused treatment. Our Remedial Massage Therapists have received full clinical training to tailor treatments to their client’s needs & have vast range of techniques & anatomy knowledge to draw upon. Relaxation massage is a treatment consisting of more kneading & flowing strokes to promote nervous system regulation & mindfulness of sensation.
Any person 17 years and under requires supervision from a parent or guardian throughout the entirety of a massage session. Individuals 18 years and older are able to receive massage unsupervised. This is in accordance with guidelines from Massage & Myotherapy Australia (Association).
This will vary based on individual needs and goals. Some people benefit from weekly sessions, while others find that monthly or bi-monthly massages are sufficient. Discuss your needs with your therapist and they will be able to guide you to the best frequency and treatment plan.
Falling asleep, snoring, or drooling during a massage is quite common and nothing to worry about. Many people find the massage so relaxing that they fall asleep. It’s a sign that your body is responding well to the therapy. Therapists are used to clients falling asleep. They see it as a compliment that you are comfortable and relaxed. Snoring can happen if you fall into a deep sleep. Therapists are accustomed to this and won’t be disturbed or offended. Drooling is another sign that you’re deeply relaxed. Therapists understand this and it’s nothing to be embarrassed about. The primary goal of a massage is to help you relax and feel better. Don’t worry about these natural responses. If you have any concerns or feel self-conscious about these possibilities, talk to your therapist. They are professionals and can offer reassurance and make adjustments if necessary. Our therapists are trained to create a comfortable and non-judgmental environment, so you can fully enjoy the benefits of your session.
Speak up! Our therapists are very intuitive, however, they are not mind readers. They want to hear your feedback so they can work with you to get the best results.
Our therapists would love to hear what you are feeling and thinking to give you the best experience, and they encourage this type of communication for all clients. If you prefer a no speaking session whereby there is no additional conversations other than for therapeutic reasons, our therapists can accommodate that too.
There are a few conditions that would prevent you from getting a massage. Firstly, do not attend a massage appointment if you are feeling unwell, have a fever, cold, or a skin condition that is contagious. Secondly, those receiving active chemotherapy or other intensive medical treatments are advised to avoid massage therapy. Lastly, if you have a serious medical condition and you are unsure if a massage would be safe for you, we advise that you speak with your primary care provider to get approval first.
After receiving a massage, proper aftercare can enhance the benefits of the treatment and help your body recover. Drink Water: Hydrate well to help flush out toxins released during the massage and to prevent dehydration. Take It Easy: Allow your body to rest and avoid strenuous activities for the rest of the day. This helps your muscles recover and maximises the massage benefits. Stretch Lightly: Gentle stretching can help maintain flexibility and prevent stiffness. Balanced Diet: Eat a light, balanced meal to provide your body with necessary nutrients without overloading your digestive system. Limit Intake: Avoid alcohol and caffeine for at least a few hours after your massage, as these can dehydrate you and counteract the relaxing effects. Float session: Consider booking a 1-hour float after your massage as a way to further relax your muscles and mind. Additional Sessions: Schedule follow-up sessions if recommended by your therapist to address specific issues or maintain overall well-being.
Each style of massage has a different purpose depending on what your body needs.
Relaxation Massage
This massage is designed to calm the nervous system and help the body fully switch off. Using slower flowing movements and gentle to medium pressure, relaxation massage helps reduce stress, improve sleep, ease muscle tension and create an overall sense of wellbeing. Perfect if you’re feeling overwhelmed, run down or simply needing a reset.
Remedial Massage
Remedial massage is more targeted and therapeutic. It focuses on areas of pain, tightness, injury or restricted movement using deeper techniques to release muscle tension, improve mobility and support recovery. This style is ideal for chronic tension, headaches, postural strain, gym recovery or ongoing muscular discomfort.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Lymphatic drainage is a very gentle rhythmic treatment designed to stimulate the lymphatic system and support the body’s natural detoxification processes. It can assist with fluid retention, swelling, inflammation, sluggish circulation and post-treatment recovery. Many clients also find it deeply calming and helpful for reducing feelings of heaviness and fatigue.
Pregnancy
Pregnancy massage is specifically tailored to support the changing needs of the body during pregnancy. Using safe positioning and nurturing techniques, it can help relieve lower back pain, hip tension, swollen legs and feet, muscular fatigue and stress on the body as pregnancy progresses. Many expecting mothers also find it helps improve sleep, relaxation and overall comfort during a time of significant physical and emotional change.
