Float Away From Chronic Pain

by | Jun 16, 2019 | Holistic Wellness, Therapeutics

“The cure for anything is salt water…” – Isak Dinesen

 Imagine stepping into your own private oasis of serenity and total relaxation… it doesn’t have to be a day dream, it actually exists! 

 One of the holistic therapeutic services that we offer here at Emerge is float therapy, and all you have to do to enjoy the benefits of floating is simply lie back and let your body be supported. You see, the float tank is filled with approximately 10 inches of water and 1,000 pounds of the highest-quality Epsom salt, creating an environment that allows your body to float effortlessly in a zero-gravity environment. Scientifically backed, the benefits of float therapy are well documented and include a multitude of benefits for your physical and mental health.

For example, did you know that floating offers a natural increase in dopamine and other neurotransmitters, which create that euphoric feeling and total mind relaxation one experiences during the session? How does it work you ask?  We’re so glad you did!

As you float, your body is flooded with endorphins, helping to relieve you from pain, enhance your mood, potentially suppress appetite and decrease anxiety, all while leaving you in a calm and clear state. Talk about bliss!

What are some of the other amazing benefits of Floatation Therapy a.k.a. R.E.S.T. (Restricted Environment Stimulation Therapy)?
  • Total Relaxation
  • Pain Management
  • Reduces Anxiety
  • Improved Sleep
  • Increased Immune System
  • Relieves Stress
  • Muscle + Injury Recovery
  • Increase Blood Circulation
  • Zero-Gravity Meditation
  • Total Zen
But to us, one of the most important reasons why we believe in Float Therapy as part of a regular self-care regimen is it’s incredible power as a method for non-opioid pain management.    The statistics on chronic pain continue to climb with more and more people reporting that they experience physical pain regularly.
“Approximately 20 percent (50 million) of U.S. adults had chronic pain and 8 percent (approximately 20 million) had high-impact chronic pain—meaning pain that limited at least one major life activity—in 2016.” -National Center for Complementary & Integrative Health

We caught up with one of our frequent floaters here at Emerge, as she wanted to share her journey with pain management, and how floating 3x a week has completely transformed her life:

Dear Vanessa,

It’s hard to find the words to tell you how much I appreciate all that you have done for me.  When it seemed like Pain Management could do virtually nothing for my 10 plus pain but give me heavy duty narcotics (30 mg. Diludid, 30 mg. methadone/day) which I got off of myself.  You alone came up with a plan of action that brought my pain level down from a 10 plus to a 3 which to me is basically no pain.  What you have done for me and my entire family is nothing short of a miracle.  I can now go to my grandsons games- all 3 of them.  Going to Broadway Musicals, I started to think were out of my realm but I now can enjoy them once again.

When my medical insurance company refused to pay any more therapy because as far as they were concerned I wasn’t going to get any better.  “What the hell do they know!!!  They certainly don’t know Vanessa Cafiero and The Emerge Team!”
You are my saving grace who has brought me back to life- to life with a future.  Something I didn’t think I had anymore.
With love & gratitude,
Thomasine S. A
