Quick Answer? Pretty much everyone!

Since floating has a wide range of benefits that everyone can enjoy,  depending on your lifestyle, implementing float therapy can help you achieve your personal health goals and seek benefits specific to your needs. With this, floating has helped people from all walks of life improve and maintain their overall wellness.

Floating as an Athlete

Within the long list of benefits floating can provide, athletes most often enjoy the healing properties of the experience. Whether floating after an intense workout, or relaxing your body before a game, practice, or session at the gym, all athletes who seek to improve their performance can use float therapy to help them do so. 

With athletes often suffering from joint and muscle pain, on top of unplanned injuries, floating can help in the healing process, providing benefits such as:

Quicker recovery time in-between workouts
Because floating increases your magnesium intake and provides a weightless environment for the body to relax in, lactic acid levels, which cause sore muscles after working out, decrease. This helps athletes to get back in the gym with less pain and more motivation after an intense workout is performed. 

Quicker recovery time from injuries
Because magnesium is an important mineral involved in healing injured tissues, floating helps to speed up the healing process for many common injuries suffered by athletes. Beyond this, the weightless environment takes pressure and tension off of joints and muscles, managing pain caused by strenuous activities. 

Beyond the physical advantages of floating, athletes can also enjoy the many mental health benefits this therapy provides

By reducing outside stimuli, floating is a great way to put your mind and body in a state of total relaxation, which can help to decrease anxiety and depression.
