Driftaway Floatation Spas: The Benefits of Floating

"Floating has had a significant impact in my recovery from a low back injury I sustained from a motorcycle accident. In conjunction with massage therapy sessions, the time I have spent at Driftaway has put me ahead of schedule to return to work. Floating also creates an atmosphere where I am able to connect with my body when I become stressed out. The changes that occur mentally and physically last for days. You truly have created a unique experience for people to give themselves the self care they deserve. Thank You."

"I have been a Registered Nurse for 14 years. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 6 years ago. I saw an ad for floatation and decided to try it out. It was one of the best decisions I have made for pain relief. After a session in the float room, my body feels relaxed and the pain is reduced. I am grateful to have found floatation to help in my treatment plan for fibromayalgia. I would recommend the float room for anyone with fibromyalgia or other chronic pain issues."

"After my first floating experience at Driftaway I felt like I could conquer the world! Not only has my energy increased but my exercise routines seem easy. I have had to "step it up a notch" as they say. I seem to be handling my life better and the best news yet...I haven't had a "hot flash" since Friday! YES to my first Driftaway experience!!"

-Janet, Registered Nurse

“As a Structural Integration Therapist I am always educating my clients on additional modalities and therapies that can enhance their health related goals. After just one float session at Driftaway, I knew I found such a treatment that I am able to recommend to every client. Personally, my float sessions both calm my mind while at the same time energizing my body from the daily work and family stressor’s it is exposed to. Floating has become part of my ‘weekly’ health plan equal to my exercise and nutrition goals. Whether you are seeking relaxation, stress relief, and immune system boost, relief from your jet lag, or chronic pain, do yourself and body a tremendous favor and take in a float session at Driftaway! Thank you Jeff & Randy for bringing Floating to the Boston area!!”

"As a sales executive, I use floatation as a tool to begin my day and focus my mind. My performance and energy level is incredible throughout the day on the morning that I float. I float before important meetings and the peace and quiet of the floatation pools is the perfect environment for me to visualize my performance and focus in on my goals for the meetings. I have found floating to be such an effect tool, that I am now sending my sales team for float sessions. at Driftaway"

- Bryan, Sales Executive

"I have been using massage therapy for about 12 years for stress reduction and pain relief for my lower back, neck, and shoulders. Once I tried Driftaway I could feel the difference in those painful areas immediately. As far as stress reduction goes I could not remember what I did that day after my session and my sleep for a few days following was greatly improved. I am looking forward to using Driftaway on a regular basis to compliment my wellness regimen. Thank You for opening a spa close to my home!"

-Jack, Public Health Director

"As a mother of four school aged children my life tends to be hectic. I have begun floating at Driftaway weekly and I have to say it has made a tremendous impact on my state of mind. I feel more calm, relaxed and focused on a regular basis. This one hour a week that I give myself has made a big difference in my day to day life."

"Floating was a surprisingly profound experience. At the time I was under pressure due to conflict between my business and family obligations. This led to little sleep over a period of days.

During my session I found myself fully and completely supported on all levels. I felt so safe that I lost track of time. I didn’t sleep and yet I didn’t know if I had been in the float room for 15 minutes or five hours. The muscle tensions melted away – my mind fully relaxed and by the end of the hour I felt renewed, energized and in deep peace. It was as if I had made up the lost sleep and found the peace and internal sense of spaciousness that usually only comes for me after some form of yoga or meditation retreat.

The effects were noticeable for at least a week. All in all it was a very worth while experience. I strongly recommend floating as a healing and rejuvenating treatment."

"I felt completely opened up to a new world of possibilities in a most present and deliciously calm way. And best of all, some lingering symptoms from a bout with meningitis simply disappeared. Thank you!"

"Floating will become a habit for me, I believe. My stress level needs to come down & this feels like a great & easy way to make that happen."

"My floating experience was beyond words. I have MS with leg weakness and pain. The floating experience took me away from the stress of my MS and allowed me to experience a relaxation that is believable."

"Wow, is all I can say! I found that I was able to organize my thoughts which resulted in improved clarity and improved my mental function for days to follow. I would recommend floating to anyone who could use some mental focus and relaxation."

"I look forward each week to the “inner time”. I can let go of the daily grind, and choose to focus on an issue or not, meditate, or allow the mind to flow as it needs to. I have had stunning realizations, general peace and calm, less stress, and a better outlook on life in general. It is subtle yet powerful, in that it is just salted water and you just “be”."

"As a Registered Nurse and Student Nurse Anesthetist at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine, I have had many years of study and experience with pain and disease. As a health care professional, I see many benefits to the healing properties of floating, physically, mentally, and spiritually. Through my professional knowledge and personal experience of floating, I see enormous healing benefits for people with chronic pain issues."

"I am a runner, avid exerciser and because of my intense training, I often have little (and big) aches and pains in my joint and muscles. After my floatation experiences I find that my pains are gone and I feel refreshed and invigorated. Floating really helps in my recovery process and leaves me fresh and ready for the next physical challenge."

"For a non invasive relaxation technique, the results are impressive"

"Practically everyone who tries it feels the benefits. Take it from a hardened cynic - Floatation works."

"I feel like a new person – totally serene, relaxed, and without a care in the world"

"It was a remarkable sensation, for the first time in ages, I found myself totally switched off and relaxed. I can't remember when last I allowed myself to tune out so completely. "

“When I emerged from the session, I was stunned at how wonderful I felt.....I know that I experienced and intense sense of well-being after floating.”

“The ultimate in deep relaxation - you will feel like you are still on cloud 9 long after your float is over”

“Find yourself in a state of sensory relaxation, away from environmental stimulation. It’s private, it’s pleasurable, it’s restorative.”
