What is Float Therapy or Sensory Deprivation Therapy?
Float therapy, also known as sensory deprivation therapy, is a type of treatment that involves floating in a tank or pool filled with salt water. This therapy has gained popularity in recent years as a way to promote relaxation and wellness. In this article, we will explore what float therapy is and the benefits it offers.
Float therapy involves floating in a tank or pool filled with salt water. The water is heated to body temperature and contains a high concentration of Epsom salts, which allow the body to float effortlessly.
During a float therapy session, the patient lies down in the tank or pool and floats for a designated period of time. The therapy is designed to be a relaxing and meditative experience.
Benefits of Float Therapy or Sensory Deprivation Therapy
- Relaxation
Float therapy can promote relaxation by reducing stress and anxiety. The therapy can stimulate the production of endorphins, which are natural mood-boosting chemicals produced by the body.
- Pain Relief
Float therapy can provide pain relief for various conditions, including arthritis, fibromyalgia, and back pain. The therapy can help to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
- Improved Sleep
Float therapy has been shown to improve sleep quality by promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety. The therapy can also stimulate the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep.
- Enhanced Athletic Performance
Float therapy has been shown to enhance athletic performance by reducing muscle soreness and improving recovery. The therapy can increase blood flow and oxygenation to the affected area, allowing the body to recover more quickly.
- Improved Mental Health
Float therapy has been shown to improve mental health by reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety. The therapy can promote relaxation and provide a sense of calm and well-being.
Float therapy is a safe and effective treatment that offers a range of benefits for various health conditions. This treatment can promote relaxation, provide pain relief, improve sleep quality, enhance athletic performance, and improve mental health. If you are considering float therapy, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine if it is a suitable treatment option for your specific condition.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on business and the economy is unprecedented.
Businesses negatively affected by COVID-19 are faltering. Even the most robust companies will need to fight their way back to their pre-pandemic best, and marginal ones will likely not re-emerge from the crisis.
Companies positively affected by COVID-19 also need to chart new courses. That might mean establishing new supply chains, recruiting additional talent, or retooling their business to cope with massive spikes in sales and activity.
As businesses recalibrate, strategize, and pivot, one thing remains clear: these are unchartered waters for everyone.
There are some non-negotiables and common denominators across industries and sectors, but for the most part this is a unique set of circumstances that demand novel solutions and strategies.
I have detailed some non-negotiables, opportunities, and tips below:

I first experienced the joy of sailing as a cadet at the Royal Australian Naval College. Harnessing the power of the wind was both challenging and exhilarating.
