What is stress?
Today, one alternates between 2 types of stress: the short-term and the long-term, where it is the latter that poses a threat to one’s health. According to the Psychiatric Foundation , stress is defined as a state of stress that can manifest itself physically, mentally and behaviorally. The condition arises when external and internal demands exceed the resources we each have. The word “requirements” must be understood broadly, as there may be work requirements, requirements in private life and requirements that are physical, mental or emotional.
“Stress is a big problem in everyday life for many Danes, but despite this knowledge, it can be difficult to say anything exactly about the prevalence and extent of stress among Danes. There are many smaller studies that map the extent of stress in small groups. Unfortunately, however, there are neither recent national studies nor action plans that uncover the challenges on a more general level. There is therefore a lot of confusion and disagreement about how wrong it is. Disagreement or not, we can state that these are worrying and harsh figures, which have major consequences both for the individual, the family and for society as a whole. These figures are becoming more and more clear ”
Floating as an alternative treatment for stress and anxiety
Floating and its unique environment limit you from 90% of your sensory inputs as well as give body and brain a free space from outside influences. After just 20 minutes in the float pod – the floating tank – one’s stress level is significantly lowered. This shows a study done on 50 people, where the results were clear and universal: All the participants experienced the same effect, and it was completely without them having to do anything. The environment in the float pod did all the work for them and became an alternative treatment for both stress and anxiety.
You will also find that your blood pressure drops, and already after 10-15 minutes in the float pod, your blood pressure may have dropped up to 20%, and the same actually applies to your anxiety level. In addition, the number of biochemicals that are directly associated with stress is reduced and adrenaline production is inhibited at the same time, which means that the “Fight and Escape” response is deactivated and anti-stress hormones are produced. All in all, you give your body the opportunity to relax when you are at Floatstudio .
