Über [schwerelos]

About [schwerelos]
~

[Schwerelos] was founded as a spin-off that emerged from a research project at the Vienna Floating Institute of the Medical University of Vienna. As the first health and floating center in Austria, we combine floating, therapy and research. This background shapes our mission to this day, so our goal is to

  • make floating accessible to everyone

  • offer floating as a therapy method

  • develop floating combinations with other forms of therapy

  • research floating and its effects in order to be able to develop new forms of therapy.
