What is Floating?

Float Therapy is a powerful, natural and relaxing wellness practice used to relieve stress, manage pain and muscle recovery, to improve sleep quality and mental clarity.

​

A float tank is filled with 10 to 12 inches of purified water and saturated with 1000 pounds of medical grade Epsom Salt which allows you to float effortlessly on your back. The water is heated to skin temperature, making it imperceptible where you body ends and the water begins. The tanks and rooms are sensory-managed, allowing you to rest in your own private suite free from the lights, sounds and stress of the outside world. You can choose to keep the lights on or off, and listen to music or relish in silence, as you drift into a sense of comfort and stillness.

 
 
HOW CAN FLOATING HELP YOU?
RELIEVE STRESS

Don't take our word for it. At Rest & Revive, we rely on the science of float therapy, the hows and whys. Floating was first invented in 1954, and in the decades since, published and peer-reviewed studies have proven why float therapy can have lasting mental, physical and emotional benefits.

(2) Treating stress-related pain with flotation restricted environmental stimulation technique: Are there differences between women and men?

Pain Research and Management (2009), Sweden

88 Patients: 69 women (78.4%), 19 men (21.6%), mean age 49, 36% had depression. All were recruited from waiting list at the Human Performance Laboratory.

All had been diagnosed by a physician as having chronic stress related back +/- neck pain

Design: Two 45 min sessions/week x3 weeks, 1 week break, two 45 min sessions/week x3 weeks.

(3) Promising effects of treatment with flotation-REST (restricted environmental stimulation technique) as an intervention for generalized anxiety disorder (GAD): a randomized controlled pilot trial

BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine

Published, March 2016

46 people: 25 REST and 25 control. 22 REST and 24 control included in analyses. Averaged age 43. 70% women. More people in control were on medication.

7 week treatment, 12 flotation sessions, 45 min/each

Surveys done at baseline, 4 weeks into treatment, and after treatment. Float group was also questioned 6 months after treatment.

The main findings were that flotation-REST significantly reduced both the general GAD-symptomatology, as well as several symptoms associated with the disorder, such as difficulties in emotional regulation, sleep difficulties and depression
