The American workforce is more stressed than ever before. Whether workers have had to adjust to working remotely, change their in-person operational procedures to maintain safety during the COVID-19 pandemic, or they’re working on the frontlines as a first responder during the global health crisis, there’s no question that work routines have been altered. A change in work environments and routines, combined with the near constant negative news cycle, social unrest, economic upheaval and concerns about the future can take a toll on mental health and impact professional focus and productivity. Thankfully, workers can recharge at True REST Float Spas across the nation.
Better Than Coffee
Often times, individuals will reach for another cup of coffee when they start to feel the toll of a stressful workday. Unfortunately, caffeine can cause insomnia, nervousness, restlessness, upset stomachs and an increased heart rate. Float therapy is a holistic option that promotes alertness and increased creativity, without any negative side effects. Below are the benefits that American workers can experience after a 60-minute float session at True REST Float Spa:
- Increased Concentration: With no distractions, your mind is free to focus internally, giving you the opportunity to meditate and reflect, promoting mindfulness, self-awareness and creativity long after your 60-minute float. Scientific studies have shown that meditation improves concentration, perception and attention spans resulting in overall increased alertness. In addition to improving cognitive ability, float therapy also enhances creativity.
- Stress Relief: It’s important to escape the hustle and bustle of work – even if that’s at home. Scientific studies have shown that float therapy significantly reduces stress and anxiety, promoting relaxation. An hour in a True REST Float Pod with reduced external stimuli reduces cortisol levels and decreases blood pressure, improving your overall mood and lowering your stress and anxiety levels.
- Improved Health: In addition to the psychological benefits of float therapy, it also provides pain relief, promotes muscle recovery, decreases blood pressure and generates a better quality of sleep.
