There is a lot of research about the benefits of flotation therapy (or sensory deprivation as it is also known). It has shown to be particularly beneficial for treating anxiety, depression, PTSD, stress or burnout, inflammatory diseases, chronic pain, and sleep disorders.

We know that stress and burnout are on the rise in Denmark, and even if they haven’t experienced a complete burnout, more people report symptoms of stress like muscle pain, headaches, anxiety or nervousness, mood swings, depression, and difficulty sleeping.

There are several studies showing that flotation therapy helps people recover from burnout. In some cases, sick leave was halved for those who included floating as part of their recovery.

There is extensive research on the effects of floating on people suffering from anxiety. Anxiety comes in many different forms, and it is estimated that up to half of us will experience some form of anxiety during our lives.
