Anxiety Ends With Flotation Therapy



Anxiety is not a hidden agenda in our lives. It is powerful, available and gratefully controllable. As a wise man once said we
should not ask why we are anxious we should ask why not? With every aspect of modern life being fast paced and overloaded we
have to make a concerted effort to slow down. We also have to be careful not to cause anxious behavior to overflow and spill
into the lives of the people with which we are in contact. Coworkers, spouses, and our children can all be affected by the power
our anxiety has on us. Sometimes others can see it long before we even notice it is crowding in on us. Sometimes we can
inadvertently create anxiety in others merely by our choice of words or actions. If the cycle of anxiety is going to end it has to be
recognized, addressed, and extracted from every aspect of our lives.Coworkers or employees can experience inadequate work
performances simply by working in a stress filled workplace. Slowing the pace and considering how people work better in a
stress-free environment is a major step in the right direction. It is not a difficult step and has so many great benefits for everyone
involved.


Spouses may only realize there is something wrong yet not fully recognized that stress and anxiety are occurring and
causing ripples in the marriage. It is very likely that if one marriage partner is anxious due to money problems, working too much,
or parenting issues the other partner is also anxious. This vicious cycle can wreak havoc on a typically loving home and the
people who dwell within. Children live what they learn. They may truly believe they are creating the anxious behavior in mom or
dad because of something they did. Young children will internalize and reflect their concerns in guilt. Older children will more
likely rebel and act out in school to attempt dealing with the emotional overload of dealing with parents who are not relaxed.


The good news is anxiety is effectively treated in various ways. One way to help reduce anxiety is through flotation therapy, which
is a fairly recent pain management method, is often referred to as the restricted environmental stimulation technique (REST). REST
is a method that takes place in a flotation tank. This is a great way to reduce anxiety and just relax the entire mind and body.
REST helps the body and mind relax both during the flotation session as well as afterwards. During flotation-REST a person lies
horizontally in a quiet, light-insulated tank, filled with Epsom salt and saturated water. The tank includes an easy to open lid,
allowing users to regulate the amount of time they spend within the tank (a typical session is 45 minutes), and also includes an
underwater lamp that can be turned on and off by users.


Ultimately, everyone hopes to lead a stress-free life, not only for their sake, but for the sake of everyone they are in contact with.
Flotation therapy can greatly help individual’s reduce anxiety.


At TrueREST, we strive to reduce stress and joint pain and increase relaxation through the innovative method of flotation therapy. In today’s day and age people are going nonstop, which doesn’t allow them to relax and greatly increases stress. We provide quality therapy to Scottsdale, AZ and the surrounding communities.
