In this blog, I have suggested a lot of uses for floating. They include weight control, managing PTSD, increasing creativity, reducing stress, and improving sleep quality, to name a few. But I haven’t yet gotten around to writing about its most spectacular success. So this week, we’ll look at float therapy for muscle recovery. And we Read more…
Float Therapy for Muscle Recovery
Float Therapy for Fibromyalgia
Should you try float therapy for fibromyalgia? In my opinion, you should. There’s good evidence from the world of research to back that opinion up. Fibromyalgia is still something of a medical mystery. In the past, doctors pressed firmly on 18 specific points on your body to see which ones produced pain. It wasn’t a Read more…
Float Therapy for Weight Management
Is float therapy useful for weight management? Yes, but it’s not a simple process. I can’t promise, or even suggest, that if you float several times a week, you’ll lose weight. But if you’re determined to lose weight, I believe float therapy can help to keep you on track. You might have excess weight for Read more…
Float Pod for PTSD
In this blog, I have proposed using float pod to manage fibromyalgia, generalized pain, insomnia, stress, anxiety, back pain, depression, and blood pressure. You can be forgiven for thinking it sounds too good to be true. But every one of my posts cites clinical research. Even I have been surprised, however, at how quickly it Read more…
Float Pod for Writing Skills
Yes, you read that title correctly: “Float Pod for Writing Skills.” No, it doesn’t mean you have to take a notebook and pen with you into your float pod sessions. You’d never be able to keep the pages dry. And it’s pretty dark in there for writing, anyway. This is more about float pod as Read more…
Float Pod for Fibromyalgia
The float pod is the best stress buster I know. If you have stress or even anxiety (and who doesn’t?), float pod can relax you. It can even help to put your troubles in perspective. But did you know it can help with specific medical conditions, too? Take fibromyalgia. Can float pod be a help Read more…
Float Pod for Sleep
I have a confession to make. When I use the float pod here at Peak, I invariably fall asleep in it. I know I am supposed to use floating to solve tough problems or get creative insights. But when I pull the lid down and lie back in the skin-temperature water, I find it difficult Read more…
Self-Care in the Time of Coronavirus
On the cover of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, it says, “Don’t Panic.” That’s good advice at any time, but today especially. The novel coronavirus is scary mostly because we’ve never encountered it before. Most people who come down with the disease will survive it. Self-care, and specifically the self-care involved in strengthening your Read more…
Float Pod for Pregnancy
Last week, I wrote about the importance of self-care and how Peak Recovery & Health Center can help with your self-care needs. It got me thinking about self-care during a special phase of life: pregnancy. There are many sites on the web that can advise you on self-care for pregnancy. They all offer the same Read more…
The Importance of Self-Care
You can’t throw a rock on the world wide web without hitting someone who wants to tell you about the importance of self-care. Here is a site. Here is another one. Believe me, there are thousands more. Ordinarily I would be suspicious of an idea that gets so much hype. But I think these sites Read more…
