Float your Aches,Pains,tiredness and stress away!

Floatation, (recognized as floatation or floating therapy as well), consists of floating on a very dense salt water combination in a flotation container.  The water is 30-cm deep and is extremely saturated with Epsom salts, allowing you to float with ease.  The tank is kept at a constant comfortable skin temperature of 34.5˚ C. Nerve endings covering the surface of the body, no longer observe any sense of partition amongst the skin and the refined mineral solution surrounding it. You can float in peace, or choose calm ambient music.  Floating has countless health benefits and relaxes and soothes on a very deep level.

John C Lilly invented the floating in around 1954. He was concerned in meditation, consciousness and in the psychology and physiology of the meditative condition when he started working on the effects of sensory deficiency. He revealed that his experimental subjects, (his apprentices), enjoyed the experience of floating and got to the levels of relaxation which was only seen in deep meditation. Actually within a few minutes, a floating person can be able to reach a depth of relaxation which takes lots of years to accomplish by classical meditation methods.

This delivers quality of life to people who are suffering from any kind of ANXIETY together with muscle or joint pain, post heavy physical activity, headaches, and perfect for shift workers. For just one hour, you are able to relax and calm down in your own time without any interference.

FLOATING AWAY YOUR CHRONIC PAIN

For the people with chronic pain, it can occasionally feel like there is just no relief available. Lots of chronic pain patients, though, have never heard of flotation rehabilitation, a therapy that can be a real revelation and result in much enhanced quality of life. For conditions fluctuating from fibromyalgia to chronic fatigue syndrome and arthritis, flotation rehabilitation can deliver real pain reduction and many find it to be an essential part of a widespread pain management plan.

Floating Benefits:

Arthritis can disturb your quality of life in a lot of negative ways. This chronic pain attacks your joints and causes enough inflammation to make it hard to do simple tasks like opening a jar.

The good news is you do not have to live with these complications. Beyond just taking medicine for the pain, you can use floating sessions in an isolation tank to get you feeling complete again. Floating is an effective tool for counterattacking many symptoms of arthritis.

Epsom salt is one reason why floating is good for treating arthritic pains and aches. It has been used as a pain reliever for decades. The water used in an isolation tank has a high concentration of Epsom salt.

Epsom salt works as a natural muscle relaxer. It also eases pain from sprains and tendinitis and promotes rapid healing in joints.

Floating puts the body in a weightless environment and takes pressure off the bones, muscles and joints. These vital parts are allowed to relax in the water. The saline water is absorbed by the skin and it improves the condition of the joints and muscles.

Research suggests that Epsom salt can help a body to heal more quickly from physical ailments than just taking medicine alone. Many people who suffer from chronic pain turn to floating as a solution for the reason that they know the whole experience makes a substantial change.

It does not make sense to live with arthritic pain when solutions are available to treat it. Floating in an isolation tank is one such solution.

Particular Benefits for Fibromyalgia (FM):

While flotation treatment can be constructive for people with many kinds of chronic pain, there have been particularly close studies of the effects of flotation on FM. FM victims may have entire body pain and fatigue along with mood symptoms like anxiety and depression. The anti-gravity effects of flotation treatment can decrease the stress placed on joints and muscles of FM patients, providing exceptional pain relief.

One surprising pain relief link in the FM-flotation mystery is the question of magnesium deficiency. There’re medical assumptions that suggest FM patients might have a magnesium shortage that makes their bodies hyper-reactive and more delicate to pain. Epsom salts, which are dissolved in high concentrations in flotation treatment water, are chemically magnesium sulfate. It’s assumed that people with FM absorb magnesium ions from the water, resulting in reduced pain.

Some other known benefits from regular floating:

1. Resolved Insomnia, relieved Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

2. Perfect for pain management containing Back, Migraine/ Tension Headaches, Neck, Joints, FM, Arthritic disorders, Lactic acidosis, Sciatic pains, Whiplash, PMS and other related pains.

3. Great for Post and Pre Sports including martial arts, cyclists and other sporting activity, to plain gardening

4. Certainly will increase resistance to stress, so you optimize your immune health.

5. Reduced blood pressure, tenderness (hence cortisol level will drop).

6. Improved endorphins, regulated circulation, and flexibility

Why Mood Matters

When it comes to letting go of chronic pain, the anxious and depressed mood that plagues many pain patients can be a barrier to successful treatment. Not only do the endorphins released over flotation treatment reduce pain, their positive effect on mood can have enduring effects on how patients see their overall diagnosis. Positive mood from flotation treatment is linked to improved results in a comprehensive pain management program that integrates flotation treatment as merely one factor. Relief can exist for chronic pain, and it can be as simple as water and Epsom salts.
