you’ve heard about floating. You are thinking of trying it, but you don’t where
to go? The search is over for a float spa Utah! Body Balance Massage and Float
has the latest, cutting edge, scientifically backed float pools for you to try.
We are the only float clinic in Utah with open pools AND the only place

Now that you know where to go, let
me share with you WHY you need to be floating. There are so many health
benefits that anyone can get from even just one floating session. Here are five
reasons you need to try floating with excerpts from, The Float Tank Cure, by Shane Stott.
STRESS.
“The benefits of floating are absolutely life-altering. Especially when
it comes to stress. The thing about stress is that it doesn’t go away if you
just ignore it. The circumstances you’re worried about might resolve, but the
negative effects of that stress on your mind and body will remain unless you
make some changes. Unlike many other forms of relaxation or escape, floating
not only aids relaxation, it also changes the way you look at life. It takes
you from a place of outward focus to a place of inward focus. That’s a rare
thing in this world.”
PAIN. “The breakthrough that so many have discovered
in recent years is the immense and sometimes immediate effect of pain relief
from floating. Chronic pain is caused by a number of conditions. Some of the
most common we see in our clients are arthritis, back pain, migraine headaches,
and fibromyalgia. Studies have shown that floating reduces stiffness, muscle
spasms, and joint pain. Headache patients in a flotation study reported reduced
frequency, intensity, and duration of headaches by up to 57 percent after six
months of floating.”
ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE. “Whether it’s injury or soreness from an
intense workout, muscle pain and fatigue are a part of daily life for many
athletes. Fortunately, floating reduces cortisol levels and increases
endorphins providing powerful pain relief. In addition, floating increases
blood circulation, enhancing the flushing of toxins from muscles and decreasing
recovery time. The epsom salts in the tank are known to reduce swelling and
detoxify the system and the exposure to magnesium has a beneficial impact on
muscle recovery. Of course, the lack of gravity takes pressure off the muscles,
tissues, and joints aiding in speedier recovery times and reduced pain. The
rejuvenating effect that people report after floating minimizes fatigue and
optimizes athletic resilience.”
ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION. “While medical and pharmaceutical research has
come a long way in developing treatments, there are many alternative treatments
available that might offer more hope. More that 18 percent of adults in this
country suffer from some form of mental illness. Among the most common are
anxiety disorders, depression, and PTSD. Flotation therapy has been shown to have a similarly beneficial effect on the
symptoms of depression as on anxiety. A study in Sweden showed that
participants exhibited lowered blood pressure, reduced anxiety, depression,
stress, and negative outlook. But they also showed an increase in overall
optimism, energy, and positive outlook. This shows that not only does floating
help alleviate depression and anxiety, but it also helps the floater start
creating a new, more positive and hopeful mindset.”
INSOMNIA. “Almost 6 out of 10 Americans report having insomnia
at least a few nights weekly. Lack of sleep is a health concern because it can
cause attention and memory problems, depressed mood, and body chemistry changes
that foster heart disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis. As many as 47 million
adults may be putting themselves at risk because they aren’t fulfilling their
minimum sleep requirement. Magnesium, absorbed through the skin over the whole
body in the float tanks, is an essential mineral that plays a major role in the
functioning of the musculoskeletal system. Magnesium allows the muscles to
relax, providing a calming effect that allows for deeper relaxation and better
sleep for several days.”
At Body Balance Massage and Float we have a passion for health and wellness. It is our goal to see people improve their day to day wellbeing by helping them to reduce or resolve their pain. It is difficult to truly enjoy life and be happy if you are constantly burdened with tension and pain…
