Great to play in a floatation tank.
In the early 90s the London Float Centre was featured on TVAM one of the main UK breakfast TV shows. They did a great piece on floatation, interviewing me and showing the presenter enjoying the experience of floating. After this 2 minute clip they interviewed myself plus one of our clients in the TV studio. The client was being treated for cancer and told of her story and how much floating had helped her. How it allowed her to go to that beautiful place deep inside her where everything was all right. How it gave her strength and had helped her through it all. She also said that since she had recovered that she continued to float regularly. It was an emotional but centred and heartfelt expression which really touched a lot of viewers.

From a float center in panama:
I've been diagnosed with PMR, Polymyalgia Rheumatica, an inflammatory disorder of the muscles that is thought to be the result of an immune disorder. Symptoms I've experienced are severe bodywide aching and stiffness of my muscles, extreme fatigue to the point of being bedridden for several days at a time, and when out of bed, a feeling of weakness. I just didn't ever feel well for the past two years. In addition to the PMR, I have arthritis, as well as, injuries to my neck and back from years of being an admitting psychologist in a state mental hospital. Prednisone is the drug of choice for this condition but the side effects are almost worse than the pain. No amount of Prednisone helped my symptoms. Had my wife not booked us both appointments at Driftaway Panama as a birthday present to both of us, I would not have made the effort to travel from Coronado to Panama City. After my first 1 hour session in floatation, I felt 95% relief of pain symptoms in my muscles and joints. Three days after that, the pain started to return, so I returned on the fourth day for another floatation. I have gone as long as 2 weeks between floatations without the return of the original pain. Another change after floatation was the feeling of well being, probably from the natural endorphins that have been studied and found to increase with REST.
