Is Floatation Therapy evidence based?
Clinical research investigating Flotation-REST (Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy), although limited, has reported largely beneficial effects across a range of different stress- and pain- related conditions, including: hypertension, chronic tension headaches, chronic muscle tension in the back and neck, and stress-related pain with ‘burnout depression’. Thus far there have been several Flotation-REST studies focused on individuals with clinical anxiety, including generalised anxiety disorder, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), panic disorder, agoraphobia, and social anxiety, with many patients presenting with comorbid major depressive disorder. The evidence published thus far suggests that Flotation-REST is a safe and effective technique for the rapid reduction of stress, pain and anxiety. Clinical trials are currently underway in America, Germany and Sweden investigating the long-term impact of floating in patients with anxiety disorders, anorexia nervosa, chronic pain, fibromyalgia and insomnia. |
