Reduces Stress Level By Floating - Scientifically Proven!

Floating tank therapy has immense impact on body. It reduces production of adrenaline and cortisol – substances associates with high stress level in human organism. On the other hand, it increases the level of enhancing moods endorphins. Floating reduces heart rate and lowers blood pressure.

The ability to reduce stress level by floating was scientifically proven by experiments.

Four aircraft pilots of different specialities became entirely or seriously unable to carry out their duties. They all failed systematic relaxation treatments; hypnotherapy turned out to be equally ineffective.

The pilots were offered float tank sessions of a minimum 6 hours.

The treatment turned out to be a full success. Tank sessions relieved pilots from anxiety and all of them re-gained or even improved their flying skills performance!

Floatation has turned out to be a very efficient fear-reducing treatment that can be applied even when other therapies failed.

Floating tank therapy has also been successfully used in curing phobic fears. The efficacy of the treatment was confirmed by another unusual experiment.

Snake phobic volunteers were put in the float chamber for 5 hours. At the end of this time, they gained access to the button that when pushed relieved slides showing snakes. The therapy participants revealed significantly decreased fear of snakes comparing to a control group.

Float tank therapy is also helpful with stress-related disorders including sleep problems. Patients suffering from insomnia treated with tank sessions revealed an improvement up to three months after the treatment

Floatation Tank Relieves Pain

Floatation tanks create a deeply calming atmosphere enabling even very sick patients to achieve a high level of relaxation and pain relief. Personal experience testimonials are supported by strong scientific evidence. Experiments conducted by researchers have proved that floatation tank therapy is very effective in easing pains of different origin.

Scientists from University of California investigated if floatation therapy can be used as a possible treatment for chronic tension headaches and how effective it was.

31 patients participating in the experiment followed different float tank procedures. These comprised of two one hour and one half hour sessions per week for the 4 weeks period.

6 months after the treatment was completed, the reports of headaches were significantly lower. Float tank therapy combined with muscle relaxation exercises resulted in 57% improvement!

Clinical results were comparable to those obtained with more time- and effort- consuming therapies. The study confirmed that REST is a useful, long-lasting and a versatile treatment for chronic tension headaches.

Researchers from Karlstad University in Sweden carried out a dedicated study to examine the effect of floating tank therapy on chronic muscle pain relief.

37 patients suffering from chronic muscle pain in the back and neck area were treated with floating tank therapy sessions up to 9 times over a 3 weeks period.

The results revealed that the most severe perceived pain was significantly reduced. Moreover, the floatation treatments elevated participants’ optimism level and decreased the degree of depression and anxiety. The therapy also helped patients to fall asleep more easily.

Sensory deprivation tank therapy has been successful in pain management associated with other conditions, such as: migraines, reumathoid arthrisis or severe pre-menstrual syndrome.

The duration of the pain relief after the tank session depends on various factors, as: how easily a patient can achieve full relaxation or the number of sessions.
