Floatation Therapy Reduces Fibromyalgia Pain

PictureLocations of the 18 tender points in the body.
Fibromyalgia is a musculoskeletal pain disorder affecting 2% to 13% of the population. It is more common in women than men; however, men and even children can also suffer from this disorder.

Fibromyalgia is a devastating and unpredictable condition that can be triggered by a traumatic event and it can also develop gradually. Like a bruise that keeps spreading, fibromyalgia can impact a sufferer’s life by interfering with the ability to do even the simplest of activities and daily chores.

Previous research provided compelling evidence that floatation therapy can drastically improve the lives of those diagnosed with fibromyalgia.

According to that research, relief experienced may be:
  • Decreased pain
  • Less muscle tension
  • Reduced anxiety
  • Lowered stress

​SYMPTOMS OF FIBROMYALGIA
  • Muscle tightness (muscle knots called tender or trigger points, sometimes tension headaches, temporo-mandibular joint disorder, and irritable bowel syndrome)
  • Linked to stress both as a trigger and as a casual factor
  • Inability to achieve restful sleep. (People with fibromyalgia often wake feeling tired, even though they report sleeping for long periods of time. Sleep is frequently disrupted by pain, and many patients with fibromyalgia have other sleep disorders, such as restless legs syndrome and sleep apnoea, which may worsen symptoms) 
  • ​Muscle Pain
  • Magnesium deficiency

POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF FLOATATION REST
  • Decreased muscle tension
  • Decreased pain caused by muscle tension
  • Stress reduction
  • Lessening of anxiety
  • Mood elevation
  • Improved sleep
  • Decrease pain in general
  • Magnesium absorption (from the MgSO4 solution)

HOW DOES FLOATATION THERAPY HELP PEOPLE WITH FIBROMYALGIA?
​Swedish researchers from Karlstad University indicated that floatation therapy help people with fibromyalgia.

The conditions created in a floating chamber activate body system to regenerate and to heal. Floating in salt water in sound- and light-proof tanks lower the perception of pain, as well as reduce level of stress, anxiety and depression.

The study has revealed that people suffering from long-term 
fibromyalgia felt much better just after only twelve sessions.

22% of the experiment participants treated with floating tank therapy for seven weeks claimed they were completely free of pain and further 56% admitted signs of improvement. Read more about the study here.
