How does floating help with back pain?
Floating describes the weightless floating on the surface of a concentrated salt brine. Due to the high density, the burden of your own body weight is eliminated: muscles, tendons and joints are completely relieved .
Floating is one of the most effective methods for relieving back pain, as it reduces muscle tone, relieves tension and promotes the correction of rigid protective postures . Floating is 100% natural in its composition of beneficial magnesium sulfate salt and water .

Floating – For lightness in the back
Many people react to psychological overload with physical symptoms, including severe neck and back pain. The psyche is therefore often the main cause of non-specific back pain, which accounts for 85% of all back problems.
Increased muscle tone in response to stress often leads to painful tension , which can limit mobility and create a vicious circle of pain, protective posture and increased pain .
The low-stimulus floating environment has the advantage of relaxing the body and mind equally . Floating therefore also takes into account the psychosocial stress that is crucial for back pain . After floating, we feel fresh and rested.
