Prof. Dr. med. Karl-Ludwig Resch explains: “Floating in Bad Elsteran thermal brine programs our vegetative nervous system for balance and harmony. This activates the body's natural regulatory mechanisms and strengthens our resistance. Similar to pressing the reset button: everything is set to NEW.”

Positive effects of floating in Bad Elsteraner thermal brine

  • Strengthens resistance and the immune system
  • Loosens and relaxes the entire muscles
  • Reduces stress hormones
  • Promotes deep relaxation
  • Offers relaxation like after a short vacation
  • Is a feel-good experience for all senses

Instructions for relaxed floating
Several times a day, the founder of AquaRelax, Oliver Möhwald, and his team will show you, if you wish, how to gently balance your body in the brine and develop deep relaxation while floating.

SoleMove
In the warm element of brine, you will be gently moved, relaxed, stretched and bent from head to toe in a rhythmic, flowing manner. Flowing massage techniques, acupressure and mobilization lead to deep relaxation.
