The Caveman’s Guide to Deep Relaxation: Float Therapy in Iowa City


Star Date 08.28.25

Some gifts change your life in unexpected ways; yesterday, my oldest son gave me the gift of 90 minutes of pure relaxation in a float tank. The effect was incredible: my muscles felt lighter, my mind calmer, and my focus sharper. When I stepped out of the tank, I felt like I was in a state of pure bliss. My wife even remarked that I looked younger—refreshed, alive, and energized. The lingering pain in my legs from all the tennis last weekend had completely vanished.

Science backs this up: float therapy can reduce stress hormones, ease muscle tension, improve sleep, and even boost your mood. It’s the perfect reset for a busy life and an active body.

Here’s an added bonus for readers: call Iowa Recovery Room in Iowa City at 641-660-6972 to schedule an appointment and tell Patrick “the Caveman sent me” for a special discount. The address is 1509 Mall Dr #1, Iowa City.
