For more on how does floatation therapy work:
"The actual way in which this therapy works is not clearly known. What is known is the way in which it reduces stress. The patient lies in a tank for up to two hours without any physical stimulation whatsoever. The body has nothing to react to; therefore the levels of stress hormones, like epinephrine or adrenaline, as well as the cortisol in the blood, are reduced. This therapy also has another effect in that the endorphins or natural painkiller hormones increase, providing a state of deep relaxation. Stress disorders are reduced and are unlikely to manifest themselves under flotation therapy. Chronic pain can also be controlled through the release of the endorphins that this therapy produces.
The process works in the following way in the case of muscle pain. Because the endorphins, released through deep relaxation, stop the pain from a chronic ailment for reaching the brain, the muscles relax and healing takes place much more rapidly. This therapy can aid patients suffering from ailments like arthritis.
Psychological ailments can also be assisted and even cured through flotation therapy. This is especially the case when treating obsessive and addictive behavior. This is due to the fact that this type of behavior is often initiated and exacerbated by stress.
In the treatment of ailments related to psychotherapy there have been developments in flotation therapy. One of these is aptly named REST.
REST is an acronym for Restricted Environmental Stimulation Technique, a name developed in the late 1970's.
Flotation therapy is a powerful relaxation inducer. The disorders that have been helped through this therapy include hypertension, muscle tension headache, anxiety disorders, chronic pain, psycho-physiological problems and even PMS.
Flotation and performance enhancement
One of the most exciting aspects of this therapy is the possibility that it holds out for increasing performance and skills. There have been a number of cases that seem to indicate that floatation therapy has resulted in enhancements in scientific creativity, as well as in artistic and sports performance. Imagery training is sometimes used in conjunction with flotation therapy."
