Floatation Tank Therapy: Floating towards good health!
The popularity of floatation therapy is mainly attributed to the various positive impacts that it has on a variety of health issues. It has come to pass that most physicians recommend floatation therapy as an added activity towards the general well-being of their patients as clinical and controlled experiments have proven that floatation does not only promote calmness, but they also has a significant positive impact on sleep disorders (Insomnia), mental and physical stress, blood flow, blood pressure, tolerance to pain and biochemical imbalances.
The results are generally almost instantaneous as users report after each float session and prolonged subjection to the treatment has long term positive effects on health. Individuals who have subjected themselves to regular floatation tank sessions for an average of an hour or so have found themselves not just energised, but also rejuvenated and motivated leaving them in better general moods.
This is a direct result of the changes in the biochemical rebalancing that their bodies undergo during the therapy. This has also led researchers to believe that floatation tanks could also facilitate patients to gain freedom from certain habits which revolve around addictions and phobias.
Floatation Therapy and Mental Health
Studies have come to show that with regular application of floatation therapy, left and right brain stimulation is triggered towards the synchronisation of the hemispheres mainly attributed to the absence of sensory input which facilitates the shift of brain waves to lower alpha, theta or delta frequencies from the regular Beta states (higher frequency).
This advocates mental clarity after treatment and enhances the level of alertness. The same studies also indicate that with regular use of a floatation tank the level of creativity and problem-solving abilities increases significantly along with the capacity to visualise scenarios prior to their occurrence.
Physical Benefits
Apart from mental enhancement, float tanks have also been found to be exceedingly beneficial to the physical attributes of those who subject themselves to the treatment on a regular basis. This is linked to the fact that apart from increased level of oxygenation of cells floatation therapy also plays a significant role in decreasing the production of cortisol and ACTH, adrenaline and lactic acid while increasing the production of endorphins and release of dopamine.
This supports the ability of these individuals to recover from injuries and other chronic ailments rather rapidly. Other research at the same time have shown that with regular therapy painful discomforts caused by ailments such as arthritis, chronic migraines and symptoms related to PMS are alleviated considerably.
Apart from that, immune systems have also been noted to improve with regular subjection to float therapy due to the increased level of blood circulation and distribution of oxygen.
Floatation Therapy Centres
Today it is relatively easy to find a floatation tank centre in most major towns and cities, some are definitely better than others while some are more expensive than others, so finding one that suits your needs (budget, location and level of service) involves a little investigation into each business.
The differences in price are usually associated with not just the level of service offered, but also the type of pods that these centres use as pod designs vary significantly and so do their prices.
However, the most important factor is that regardless of the design of the float pods, or the level of customer service, floatation therapy works and is definitely worth a try.
