FlotationTherapy

Floatation therapy is such a simple idea that some of the benefits seem too good to be true.

It is well known that relaxing sleep in bed is essential to good health and often the best way to recover from stress and illness. Our bodies have amazing powers of recuperation and we just need the chance to relax to let these powers work.

The deep relaxation state achieved during floating allows the body to recover from stress, and aches and pains are relieved. Blood flow is stimulated through all the tissues, natural endorphins are released and the brain gives out alpha waves associated with relaxation and meditation.

Usually it takes fifteen minutes to enter the first deep stage of relaxation, and the remaining 45 minutes of a typical hour-long session seem to pass quickly and effortlessly.

The benefits begin during this stage but continue after you leave the tank and for the rest of the day, and the next day, as your body and mind feel refreshed.

Controlled tests have shown that athletic performance is improved by using flotation therapy before an event. Students are able to remember facts and to concentrate better after floating.

Chronic joint pain caused by arthritis for example is often relieved for prolonged periods after floating.

People with “jet-lag”, stress or anxiety, express feelings of relief and improvement. They state that one hour in a float tank is worth 6 hours of sleep.
