One of the most frequently asked questions people are asking at the moment is floatation therapy covered by health insurance. Unfortunately, floating is not covered under extras with your health fund here in Australia. However, you maybe be able to claim floating under Workcover, NDIS, TAC, and Veteran Affairs.
I highly recommend you contact them directly and ask.

Dr Justin Feinstein is a clinical neuropsychologist and shares in his TED talk about how floatation therapy can help disconnect the nervous system from life's constant stream of stimulation. He is also assisting and teaching individuals, the process of how to reconnect to themselves, especially those who suffer from stress, anxiety and PTSD.

We have been given the green light by the government and will be opening our floatation therapy service tomorrow, June 1st.
 
We’ve started taking bookings in advance since we have limited time slots available to ensure strict social distancing.
 
If you are eager to get back into your floating regimen or just give it a go, we are accepting bookings for our waiting list to be the first to choose from the restricted hours we’ll be offering.
 
For the month of June, we will only be providing DOUBLE FLOATS (two people from the same social distancing group) to float at the same time to ensure safety and scheduling efficiency as we ramp back up to normal operations.
 
Your health and safety have always has been my highest priority and to give you peace of mind as you prepare to book for your float. If you have a gift voucher, float package program, or other promotional offer, all will be extended generously for you to use them. Please contact me to determine what restrictions (if any) apply.
 
I want to assure you that my priority remains safety and I will continue the enforcement of strict COVID-19 specific measures including:

• Social distancing (1.5 m) will still be adhered to at all times.
  
  
• You will only be greeted by me and I will always be wearing a facemask for your full protection.
  
  
• I ask that if you have your own facemask, please put it on before coming into the clinic. If you don’t have one, I will provide you with one upon your arrival, which you will need to put on before and after your float.
  
  
• Hand sanitiser will be available in the clinic. Upon your entry, I will ask you to use hand sanitiser or wash your hands immediately. This reduces the risk of anyone unknowingly transmitting virus particles to any surfaces like door handles, desk surfaces, and any surfaces in the float rooms etc.  
  
  
• Any close social contact; shaking hands, hugs, or other personal contact of any kind is strictly prohibited.
  
  
• I am continually disinfecting and wiping down all surfaces after each client interaction including the EFTPOS and HICAPS machine, keyboards, mouse telephones, float tanks, and shower facilities.
  
  
• It is still your responsibility if you are feeling unwell, experiencing respiratory and/or flu-like symptoms (including fever and cough), please call me on 9440 9453 or go online and reschedule your appointment, and please seek immediate medical attention.

With these measures and precautions in place, you can feel confident, despite the fact there may have been a few clients in the clinic before you on any given day, there is very little risk of virus contamination of any surfaces.

Our New Float Hours During The Next Stage Of Lockdown Restrictions

For the months of June, I will only be offering double float sessions, which means any two people from the same family or social distancing group can come and float at the same time, floating on their own of course, in our two separate float rooms. 
 
You will need to pre-pay and get on a waiting list so you can be scheduled based on your preferences and the tank availability on a first in, best dressed basis. Unfortunately for logistical reasons, I won’t be taking any single floats in June. Contact me if you are a single floater and I will see what I can arrange on a case-by-case basis. I am here to serve you as best I can.

The experience of floating is out-of-this-world because it’s as close to weightlessness as you can be "on earth". If you've never done it, this is the ideal gift to give someone for Father's Day.

Imagine a feeling of zero gravity, being totally weightless... completely separated from the outside world. Now that you've imagined it, give it as a gift that will be an out-of-this-world experience! Click HERE.

Inner Outer Health has been servicing the Bellfield community for over 7 years by offering floatation therapy, myotherapy and several different forms of massage ranging from remedial, relaxation and deep tissue massage.
 
We have recently decided to change the way we offer floatation therapy.
 
We have made ALL our float sessions 90 minutes for $99. The reason for this is that we want you to have more time in the float tank to create a profound experience and gain greater value from the experience.
 
We also wanted to make things simple without creating confusion with too many options. Bearing in mind floating is not a one-off experience. Floating in is a learned skill, which requires patience, trust, allowing your-self to surrender to the weightless environment, letting go and with each session going deeper and deeper into a meditative state.
 
We are here to serve you, look after you and create a memorable experience.
 
To create the optimal result, we recommend you float once a week, for 3 to 4 weeks, then you can extend it to every 2 weeks after a few months and gradually get to once a month. Floating is an individual experience and really depends on what you want to get out of it and what the context of your floating is; how much stress and pressure there is in your life.
 
If you have any unused 1-hour gift vouchers, your float session moving forwards will be 90 minutes at no extra cost.
 
Numerous clients have trailed the new 90 minute floats and they noticed:
 
1.    They had more time to reduce, dissolve the mental chatter
2.    They felt more relaxed and able to get into a deep relaxation and meditative state
3.    The session duration was the perfect amount of time
 
To make your next float appointment, you can call us on 9440 9453. Please leave us a message and tell us what 3 time slots you would like in order of preference and we will call you back to confirm your session(s).

We look forward to seeing you again for your next float!

P.S.
We are promoting DOUBLE FLOATS? 2 people floating at the same time in the evenings after 7pm for $99 per person.

Dr Justin Feinstein, a researcher at the Laureate Institute for Brain Research in Tulsa, Oklahoma, has released results from his groundbreaking clinical trial of floating in sensory deprivation tanks to relieve symptoms of acute anxiety. In his study of 50 research participants with severe anxiety, he found that in every single participant, very strong reductions in stress and anxiety occurred after just one floatation session! Amazing results.

Floaters were connected to blood pressure, heart and brain monitors while floating, and within minutes of beginning to float they experienced blood pressure drops of 10-15 points. Floaters also reported feelings of peace and serenity which lasted for days after their float. Dr Feinstein explains that what is so amazing about the floatation treatment is that the participants don't have to do anything to experience the benefits of floating - the environment alone is enough to significantly change their mental, physical and emotional states.

Our very own Lena Yammine was lucky enough to hear Dr Feinstein's presentation in person at the 2015 Annual Float Conference. Dr Feinstein has done ongoing research in the floatation field and plans to commence an extended clinical trial examining the effects of regular, ongoing floatation sessions for people suffering from anxiety and panic disorders as well as PTSD.

I was so excited when I was invited to be interviewed to explain sensory deprivation tanks with Nick and Sam from Taking Lifestyle Radio. Even though I only had about an 1-hour notice to prepare, I always jump at the chance to talk about the benefits of floatation therapy.

Looking for a great book to snuggle up with? Want to learn more about the benefits of floatation tank therapy? Got some unanswered questions or concerns, or just looking to go a little deeper? We've got just the thing.

In this post I will review and link to some of the best floatation books out there! If you want to try floatation tank therapy but would like to research it first, or if you want to take your experience deeper using the knowledge and wisdom of those who have gone before, there is a book on this list that is perfect for you. Maybe more than one!

Floatation tank therapy was invented in 1954 by John C. Lilly, a physician and neuro-psychiatrist with an interest in expanding consciousness and exploring the mind using means that ranged from the sensible to the utterly eccentric. In the 60-odd years since he stumbled upon the magic of sensory deprivation floating tanks and began to explore their many and surprising benefits, a host of research has been done in this area and additionally, a number of excellent books on floatation tank therapy have been written.
