If You’re Living with Chronic Pain, It’s Time to Try Floatation Therapy
Chronic Pain Shouldn’t Control Your Life—Floatation Therapy Can Help
If you’re one of the thousands of Australians living with chronic pain from conditions like back issues, arthritis or fibromyalgia, you know how exhausting it can be. Constant discomfort. Limited mobility. A growing dependence on painkillers.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Floatation therapy offers a proven, natural method to manage pain—without the side effects of medication.
This is more than just relaxation. Backed by clinical research and now available in float centres across Australia, floatation therapy could be the step forward you’ve been searching for.
What Is Floatation Therapy?
Also known as Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy (REST), floatation therapy involves lying in a tank of warm water infused with high concentrations of magnesium-rich Epsom salts. You're fully supported, weightless, and free from external noise, light, and stress. This environment allows your body and nervous system to reset in ways that traditional therapies often can’t.
The Proven Benefits for Chronic Pain
✅ Relieves Muscle and Joint Pain
In a float tank, pressure is taken off your body completely. This allows tight muscles and painful joints to decompress and relax—naturally. A 2021 study in JAMA Network Open found significant reductions in chronic pain symptoms after REST sessions (JAMA).
✅ Reduces Inflammation
Magnesium sulfate, absorbed through the skin during floating, has known anti-inflammatory effects. This is especially beneficial for those with arthritis and fibromyalgia. According to data published by the Float Research Collective, patients regularly report improvements in inflammation-related symptoms (Clinical Float).
✅ Improves Sleep and Mood
Chronic pain is often linked with poor sleep and anxiety. Floatation therapy promotes deep relaxation, lowers cortisol (stress hormone) levels, and improves overall sleep quality—all of which are critical for managing long-term pain (Float Research Collective).
Why You Shouldn’t Wait
If you’ve tried medications, physio, and other treatments without lasting results, it’s time to try something that treats more than just the symptoms.
Floatation therapy is safe, drug-free, and increasingly recommended by GPs and integrative health practitioners in Australia. It doesn’t just offer relief—it empowers you to take back control of your body and mind.
