The tank suppresses the functioning of the sympathetic nervous system which when active produces our fight or flight response. And it then activates the parasympathetic nervous system which is responsible for relaxation, healing, replenishment, etc. Some physical symptoms of the relaxation response are decreased muscle tension, decreased blood pressure, decreased stress hormones, and increased endorphins.

Arthritis, back pain, neck pain, tendinitis, bursitis, inflammation, and psychosomatic pain relief have all been documented via tank use.

Floating increases circulation to extremities, promotes greater elimination of metabolic by products, decreases the forces of gravity to help promote greater muscular relaxation, and it can prevent adrenal fatigue.

Some of us are known as introverts while others are extroverts. Introverts who float can gain a feeling of safety and security, they often enjoy the break from constant stimulation in which they are usually hypersensitive to. No person or thing will disturb you while in the tank. Extroverts can develop greater internal sensitivity from floating, typically they are always seeking extra stimulation and paradoxically through depriving the senses the nervous systems response is to (turn up the volume) to try and feel more. Since minimal input is coming in they are able to develop greater sensitivity to their internal reality and over time they may not feel the need to be constantly stimulated; i.e. it may heighten their (dulled) senses, and wont need to be constantly stimulated.

Float therapy, when used for a long period of time, is able to help you sleep a lot better. Reports have shown that a floatation session that lasts around 90 minutes is able to compare side by side to the sensation of having an entire night of uninterrupted rest.

Gravity is not an issue when spending time in a floatation tank, so all of your bones, joints, and muscles are finally given a chance to get some well-deserved rest from being used so often.

Floatation therapy can help you to facilitate inner thoughts, and even bring on a calm that is natural that has you rising every morning with more energy and a better night’s rest than you’ve ever had before.

Giving your body the break it deserves will help channel all of your valuable energy to different areas so that you can be more productive throughout your day.

The body is completely relieved of contact points and pressure when floating with no gravity. This allows your blood vessels to dilate fully, immediately lower your blood pressure and maximizes how much oxygen, red blood cells, and blood your body is receiving.

The Epsom salt that you absorb during a floatation session will also assist in reducing high blood pressure.
