Stress & Anxiety; how we can help at Mederi Wellness.

Float therapy, also known as floatation REST therapy, offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. See why we recommend our clients to float regularly for stress and anxiety:

1. Physical Pain Relief:

   • Floatation therapy involves immersing oneself in water infused with magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt). This environment eliminates external stimuli, allowing the body to let go of long held tension.

   • By reducing the body’s internal stress response, floating shifts us from the “fight or flight” mode to “rest and recover.” This shift is crucial because chronic stress and inflammation are primary triggers for pain.

   • Studies have shown that floatation therapy can significantly alleviate various types of pain, including muscle tension and stress-related pain1.

2. Psychological Distress Reduction:

   • Floating not only soothes physical pain but also addresses psychological distress. The interconnectedness of pain, stress, and sleep quality is now often spoken by medical professionals.

   • Chronic stress and anxiety can often lead to muscle tension and pain. Floatation therapy provides simultaneous relief from both physical pain and psychological distress.

   • The calming effect of floating helps people experience better sleep and therefore reduce the levels of tension stored in the body.

3. Creativity Boost:

   • The reduction in tension and stress, combined with an increase in energy, contributes to the creativity boost that floaters often report.

   • Some people have experienced visuals when floating and seen colours, animals and people.

4. Cortisol Regulation:

   • Regular floatation routines can lower cortisol levels, the hormone associated with stress responses.

   • By disconnecting from everyday pressures, floating becomes a powerful meditation aid, promoting relaxation and improving sleep quality.

5. Anxiety Management:

   • Anxiety disorders affect a significant portion of the population. Floatation therapy can be a valuable addition to wellness routines.

   • Nearly 20% of people will experience some form of anxiety disorder in their lifetime, having the ability to reduce the symptoms with a hands off approach is really effective for those that aren’t sure what is making them feel anxious.

In summary, floating provides a tranquil haven where stress dissipates, pain eases, and creativity flourishes. So, if you’re seeking respite from life’s demands, consider a floatation session—it’s like a soothing embrace from the water itself. 🌊🌟
