Float therapy, also known as sensory deprivation therapy, holds notable benefits for veterans coping with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The immersive experience of floating in a tank filled with saltwater promotes deep relaxation, alleviating the heightened stress and anxiety often associated with PTSD. The sensory-deprived environment allows veterans to disconnect from external stimuli, facilitating introspection and mental clarity. By reducing sensory input, float therapy can potentially ease hypervigilance and intrusive thoughts. Moreover, the weightlessness experienced in the tank can provide physical relief, reducing tension and promoting a sense of calm. For veterans seeking an approach to manage the complex symptoms of PTSD, float therapy stands as a promising avenue, offering a unique and tranquil space for mental and emotional rejuvenation.
While the VA does not offer a specific float therapy program that matches what we are looking for, they do offer very dynamic aquatic therapy programs that have proved beneficial both neurologically, and physically.
Some organizations that do offer float therapy include:
Studio Anew - $55 - $125
Float STL - $75 - $85
Clarity Float Spa - $69 - $89
Presence Float Center - $59 - $99
