The future of the floatation tank
The global awareness of the floatation tank is very patchy. It
is practically unknown in several European countries, while floatation
centres are commonplace in Australia and California. The uses of
floatation tanks also vary from relaxation to competitive sports
training, and from hypnotherapy to pain relief. In the future
we expect the benefits of floatation to become much better known
all over the world.
There will be specialist centres where the therapeutic
benefits will be part of other therapies. Floating is excellent
preparation for massage, osteopathic and chiropractic manipulation,
yoga, reflexology and many other techniques. Gradually the use
of floating in preparation for competition will spread from Australia
to sporting activity everywhere. This is because controlled
studies have shown that there is a real benefit. We hope to
see mobile float centres in use in motor racing and many other sports.
But perhaps the greatest area for growth in the future is for
ordinary people to adopt floating as part of their lives, to experience
the stress relief and relaxation which even one hour of floating
brings.
