With the lack of downtime in our lives our bodies and minds are not given the chance to do what nature intended and recuperate. As a result the list of negative health effects are on the increase and many with no treatment as effective as time out and relaxation. It is well known that rela
xing 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. Enter floatation therapy! You may well ask what on earth is that? Floatation therapy is essentially a way of achieving deep relaxation by spending an hour or more lying quietly in darkness, suspended in a warm solution of Epsom salt. Float tanks are also known as isolation tanks, sensory deprivation tanks and REST (restricted environmental stimulation therapy) chambers. It has a wide variety of uses/applications, deep relaxation and it’s benefits are just one of the reasons for floating. The concept of floatation therapy is based on the theory that up to 90% of the brains normal workload is estimated to be caused by the effects of routine environmental stimulation (gravity, temperature, touch, light, sound). We are constantly bombarded with external stimulation as well as the incessant everyday background ‘noises’ and distractions that we may not even realise our minds are busily processing. The deep relaxation state achieved by floating allows the body to recover from stress, pain is relieved, blood flow is stimulated through all the tissues, natural endorphins are released and the brain can reach theta waves associated with relaxation and meditation without the years of meditation training. It has a wide variety of uses/applications; some conditions improved by floating include but are not limited to:
• Stress relief
• Muscular pain
• Rheumatism
• Chronic pain and fatigue
• Fertility
• Migraine headache
• Jet lag
• Anxiety
• Insomnia
• Back pain
• Depression
• Post-natal depression
