Floatation therapy at Float & Restore, or simply floating, is a type of sensory deprivation. The practice involves spending time resting in a salt-water solution that supports one's body and makes it feel weightless to the point where it seems as if you were floating on water. There are many people who have been using this practice as a form of relaxation and as a way to ease their aches as well as their mental health problems for years now. In fact, there are also some people who would go into these flotation tanks/pods several times per week because they see great benefits from doing so. History: how did floatation therapy start? Floating, like many other practices and medicines, can be traced back to ancient times. The earliest forms of sensory deprivation (floatation therapy) was used as a form of punishment for those being exiled from their kingdom to an isolated area where they would have no contact with others. In modern times, floatation tanks were first introduced by John C. Lilly the psychoanalyst who also dabbled into researching consciousness and neurophysiology. He used what he called the ""sensory deprivation tank"" so that he could study how people communicate with each other when experiencing extreme loneliness.
