Injury Recovery

Increased circulation to extremities and greater metabolic waste elimination occur in the zero-gravitational state of the float tank, which helps to promote faster bone and muscle recovery. Through floating, a decrease in adrenal fatigue and an increase in muscle relaxation also speed recovery times. Gravity Reduction — Floating in water that completely supports your body reduces the impact of gravity by 80%, alleviating back and neck pain as well as other gravity-induced aches, including the physical stress experienced during pregnancy.

Regular Float

Participants have noted what researchers call a 'mental-reset' after floating, citing significant reductions in symptoms including decreased negative, ruminating thoughts and mood. Scientists (including noted researcher, Herbert Benson, of The Harvard Medical School and Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital) have concluded that meditative practices (including Float Therapy) lower heart rates, blood pressure and oxygen consumption, and help alleviate symptoms associated with a vast array of conditions including: Hypertension, Arthritis, Insomnia, Depression, Infertility, Cancer, Anxiety, even Aging.

Improved and Heightened Sensory
