With recent research there is some compelling evidence that flotation REST can greatly improve the lives of people with fibromyalgia by significantly decreasing their pain, muscle tension, anxiety and stress. It also significantly increased freedom of movement, energy, mood and quality of sleep. Most of these improvements showed longer-term relief as the participants floated repeatedly.
With the major symptoms of fibromyalgia and effects of floatation therapy, this table shows the synergistic connection of the two to help improve the lives of Fibromyalgia patients:
Watch âFloating for Workâ
A study conducted by Australian Psychological Society shows that the level of stress-related psychological claims is unprecedented with a cost to Australian Industry in 2000 in excess of $105 million.
An IBM Study in Feb 2011 provides a local perspective on the topic of work stress in offering data on Perth drivers. 77% of Perth drivers are stressed by the time they get to the workplace. 29% of them believe that itâs detrimental to their health.
It is important to note that these figures do not reflect the added hidden costs of re-staffing and re-skilling when stress results in staff turnover or burnout.
Companies are now turning to implement their own wellness programs, where the positive results have been repeated in a report titled âRight Management Revueâ (2009). This workplace wellness report has shown that when health and wellness are managed well:
- Organisation performance increases by 25%.
- Employee engagement is increased nearly 8 times.
- Creativity and innovation is enhanced by a factor of nearly four.
When workplace wellness is not managed well, an organisation is 4 times more likely to lose talent in the next 12 months.

Many major companies are attempting to avoid work stress impacts by finding ways to keep a healthy, happy productive workforce. Increasingly in Europe and US currently, floatation therapy is being introduced to provide a solution.
Other stress-relief alternatives demand a high level of commitment and dedication for noticeable results, as the effects are not instant. It may be weeks or even months before any noticeable effect becomes evident.
Floating offers instant relief and requires no skills (other than the ability to lie still for an hour!). A float session is guaranteed to eliminate stress, leaving you with a clear mind to concentrate on the matter in hand.

âThe mind is sharper and keener in seclusion and uninterrupted solitude. No big laboratory is needed in which to think. Originality thrives in seclusion free of outside influences beating upon us to cripple the creative mind. Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born. That is why many of the earthly miracles have had their genesis in humble surroundings.â
