Float Therapy can help with arthritis
Float therapy can help with arthritis pain and stiffness by reducing stress, relaxing muscles, and creating a weightless environment
- Relaxation: Float therapy allows your muscles to fully relax, which can help relieve pain.
- Stress reduction: Float therapy can help reduce the stress hormone cortisol, which is a known factor in arthritis complications.
- Weightlessness: The Epsom salt-saturated water in a float tank makes you feel weightless, which can take pressure off arthritic joints.
- Magnesium: The magnesium sulfate in Epsom salt can relax muscles, tissues, and nerves.
- Theta state: Floating can help you reach a Theta state, which is a place of healing, rest, and rejuvenation.
- Blood pressure: Floating can lower blood pressure.
While float therapy can’t cure arthritis, it can be an effective treatment that complements other treatments like medication and physiotherapy. It’s also non-addictive and has no known side effects.
