On Wednesday, I had the opportunity to experience something new at Iowa Recovery Room in Iowa City—a floating session. It was unlike anything I’ve ever tried before.
Floating, also known as float therapy, involves resting in a tank filled with water and Epsom salt. The salt makes you effortlessly buoyant, almost as if you’re weightless. This environment allows your body to completely relax, free from pressure and strain.
The health benefits are impressive:
Stress relief – The stillness and calm lower cortisol levels and help quiet the mind.
Pain reduction – Many people report relief from muscle aches, joint pain, and inflammation.
Better sleep – Floating can promote deep relaxation, making it easier to get restorative rest.
Mental clarity – With fewer distractions, creativity and focus often improve.
When I stepped out of the tank, I felt lighter, refreshed, and energized. The soreness in my legs from tennis earlier in the week had melted away. My wife even noticed I looked younger when I got home—refreshed and alive.
If you’re curious about new ways to support your health, floating might be worth considering. Iowa Recovery Room is located at 1509 Mall Dr #1, Iowa City. Just be sure to call ahead for an appointment.
Special note: If you mention that you found out about Iowa Recovery Room through the Caveman Blog, you’ll receive a discount on your first visit.
