Testimonials

"Ipswich Town FC have recently used Floatation during the rehabilitation of their first team players, most notably Owen Garvan, Gavin Williams and Jason DeVos.

Floatation has provided a unique environment for the recuperation from musculoskeletal injury. Jason DeVos especially found the experience 'very relaxing' during his recovery from a foot fracture recently and the Club's medical department will continue to use Floatation as an important element towards recovery from injury for their players and to ensure that they return to full fitness as quickly as possible."

"My first float was organised by my wife who is a firm believer in trying alternative methods. Up until 3 years ago I was a very active member of the Army, my main role being a helicopter pilot.

That all changed on the morning of March 2^nd 2004 when I was involved in a serious RTA. I suffered severe internal and head injuries, both legs were broken in several places. Superb treatment at Ipswich hospital kept me alive and motivated. On my release from hospital the Army medical services took up the reins of my rehabilitation. The help and facilities were second to none, but still due to the extent of the injuries I was unable to continue serving with the army and was discharged under medical grounds in October 2006.

Since the accident due to the pain in my legs I had never managed a full night’s sleep, even with the aid of strong painkillers. I was constantly stressed and could not relax at all. That is why my wife had booked me into have a float.

The floating sensation is hard to describe, during the hour long session my legs turned from aching to a glowing feeling, but it relaxed me, made me slow down. That night I managed a full night’s sleep, waking in the morning without the normal cramps and pain. Over the next two weeks following two more floats I was able to reduce my painkilling medication by 75%.

My bi-weekly floats now allow me to continue to relax and take things as they come. My medication is only needed occasionally but becomes more necessary if I miss a session in the tank.

This might not work for everybody in the same way as some drugs don’t work for everybody, but there is no doubt in my mind of the benefits."

"I have 'floated' at Flotation three times now and really cant recommend it highly enough - the feeling of weightlessness is amazing and together with the calmness and serenity, it is THE most relaxing treatment I have ever had ESPECIALLY as I am confined to a wheelchair.

The staff are so friendly and helpful - I recently had a birthday gathering at flotation with a group of girlfriends, which was fab and so original - Everyone enjoyed floating, including my 19 year old son.
Have a go you have everything to gain and nothing to lose!"

"I discovered the benefits of floating quite by chance through my local health centre. Having had extensive surgery I was ready to try anything to help relax my back muscles and discussed a floatation with my physio who had no objections.

Each floatation (session) is a different experience and I believe it assisted in my rehabilitation and recovery programme."
