Floating is a peaceful, tranquil activity perfect for relaxing after climbing. Float therapy is gaining in popularity, but seeing pictures of people floating in a pod seems kind of freaky and may leave you wondering: what is float therapy anyway?
Float therapy is one of the most effective healing therapies being offered today. The water is skin temperature (about 93.5 degrees fahrenheit) and contains so much epsom salt you float automatically (the water is denser than the dead sea). All sensory experiences are void- you do not experience gravity, sight, sound, or touch.
Studies found the following benefits from float therapy.
Enhance athletic performance and shorten muscle recovery time
Strengthen the immune system, speed healing, and alleviate pain
Relieve anxiety and stress
Reset your biological clock, improve sleep, and overcome jet lag
Reduce blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen consumption
Deepen meditation
Increase creativity and problem solving
