In the gravity-free environment the body balances
and heals internally as all the senses are rested. Research
shows that floatation therapy measurably reduces blood pressure
and heart rate whilst lowering the levels of stress-related
chemicals in the body. Old injuries and aches, (especially
backache) experience relief as floating helps blood circulation.
Floating is used widely in the treatment of stress, anxiety,
jet lag and to improve concentration and creativity. Sports
performance and ‘wind down’ is also enhanced during
floating. Also, one hour of floating has the restorative effects
of 4 hours of sleep!
