Overview
The study concluded that floatation therapy, otherwise known as floating, has a direct and positive effect on reducing chronic back pain, while also improving sleep quality, anxiety and depression. There are many natural healing processes that the body speeds up during floating. Key areas with reducing inflammation and back pain are thought to be the increase in vasodilation and the rebalancing of hormones which influence the nervous system. Chronic back pain is of epidemic proportions. Floatation therapy is showing promise and proof through case studies.
The Regular Practice of Floating
Floating can aid sleep and stress, meaning a regular float therapy practice can make it less likely to feel the onset of back pain. For best results, we recommend regular sessions, and many clients find that floating once or twice a week provides the most benefits. Establish a regular float practice and experience it yourself! While you can float every day without harm, we find that the relaxing effects of a one-hour float typically last beyond that day.
