Dear Floaters,

There are additional benefits to Floating beyond meditation and relaxation.  There is healing and pain relief.  Floating has allowed me to go through a severe back injury tearing my spinal ligament along  L3, L4, L5, T12 and compressing 2 discs. This has been quite painful, making it difficult to walk, sit or bend.  With the help of my husband I was able to be put into the float tank and within the hour I would have manageable pain requiring only 3 days of anti inflammatory medication at prescription strength.  Now several weeks into floating I am completely pain free in the tank and it relieves pain for a few hours after each float and I’m continuing to improve.  Floating has allowed my nerves to rest along my spine relieving pain and aiding in my recovery.  The weightlessness has allowed my spine to open up releasing pinched nerves allowing muscles to relax and vertebrae to return to normal position.  To feel and hear my spine moving to the correct position while floating allows hope for a full recovery without steroids or surgery.  If you suffer from back pain or a back injury or spondylosis of the spine I strongly suggest that you try floating before you take more drastic measures.  Floating has helped my back beyond my original expectations.  I have a long road ahead of me for a full recovery but I am confident that floating will help me get there without pain killers, steroids or surgery.  Floating is a healthy solution for a healthy life.  Thank you Float North County for offering a place for healing and pain relief.

With deep gratitude,
