Float Therapy
Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy (REST)-- better known as float therapy-- involves lying in a specialized tank filled with warm water and Epsom salts, which allows the body to float effortlessly. The environment is designed to minimize external stimuli, promoting deep relaxation.
This therapy can help individuals with stress relief by calming the nervous system, reducing cortisol levels, and promoting mental clarity. For those with chronic pain, the weightlessness experienced in the tank relieves pressure on joints and muscles, allowing the body to release tension and aiding in pain management. The combination of physical and mental relaxation makes float therapy a powerful tool for overall well-being.

It’s not new
Although float therapy may seem new to some, it has been around since the 1950s. It was originally developed by a neuropsychiatrist studying the effects of sensory deprivation on the brain. While today's float tanks differ significantly in appearance from the original models, their core design remains unchanged.
