Floatation Therapy - Helping Stressed Executives Relax

  • Written by: News Feature Team
For CEOs and entrepreneurs, the 9-to-5 work routine is nothing more than a myth. In the ever evolving tech-focused world of business, even the most resilient leaders may suffer from mental and physical exhaustion. Being constantly plugged into work mode via smartphones, emails, etc. only aggravates the mental and emotional stress.

When it comes to relaxation, nothing can make you feel more at ease than floatation therapy that is a remarkable way to break away from the constant stress of daily pressures. Every leader needs a break, and it’s your time to unwind and relax in your peaceful state.



Why go for floatation therapy?


In the business world, floatation therapy is quickly becoming a regular de-stressing experience. After being widely renowned in sports for many years, corporates have finally caught up to this fantastic physical and mental restoration method.

Psychologists at the Australian Institute of Sport concluded that floatation therapy could aid in significantly reducing heart rate and blood pressure, apart from lowering stress-related chemicals within the body. They believe it so much that it has become a part of their recovery centre (AIS recovery room). For busy executives and CEOs, this unique and powerful therapeutic method can help the body and mind experience gravity free sensation of floating.

This approach is known to actually cure jet lag, stress, fatigue, anxiety, and even depression that affects CEOs and leaders in many industries. It is also said that floating can enhance creativity and concentration as many people have reported having experienced sudden bouts of inspiration during their sessions.

This phenomenon happens when your body and mind to become one with each other and can eliminates external stimuli to access parts of the brain that lie dormant easily. Deep relaxation techniques like these and meditation are especially beneficial for CEOs as they cannot afford to feel unmotivated, unproductive, and emotionally drained. A representative from Beyond Rest replied to our request with “It is certainly true, floatation therapy has all of a sudden found popularity amongst stressed executives. Being able to fully disconnect in a world where your smartphone keeps you contactable 24-7 seems to hit a note with executives”



How can Floatation Therapy help you relax?


Float Therapy is a deep relaxation method that leaves you in a calm and serene state of mind. In fact, experts say that 1 hour of treatment equals to 4 hours of regular sleep. This probably tells you more than you need to know how it can help you rejuvenate fast.

This therapy takes places in an environment where all your senses are deprived, and you feel nothing but a sense of weightlessness, similar to floating aimlessly in space. As you’re placed inside of a tank of warm, shallow, dense, salty water, you can feel all the stress, and anxiety leave the body.

Apart from these benefits, some other advantages of float therapy are the following:

*  It rehydrates skin, leaving you feeling smooth and silky
*  It reduces fatigue by recharging your body within 1 hour of a session
*  Boosts blood circulation and help your body receive fresh nutrients
*  Heals aches and old injuries that may have been giving you sleepless nights

Conclusion


As CEOs and busy executives are almost always preoccupied with demanding roles at work, it’s highly crucial for them to refuel quickly to keep the productivity going. Flotation therapy is a boon for every individual who wants to be at their peak performance while mentioning a perfect balance between emotional and physical wellbeing.
