New Swedish study about Flotation-REST from 2014-10-25

Conclusions

The results of the present study indicate that flotation-REST may reduce contributing factors to potential stress-related illness as well as increase certain psychological factors in healthy participants. Stress, anxiety, depression, and worst pain decreased and sleep quality andoptimism increased in the flotation-REST group compared to the wait-list control group.

This technique might increase general health and thus help prevent future sick leave. .. On an individual basis, sick leave puts a negative strain on the affected. Not only financially but it also tends to generate further negative effects such as lack of career possibilities, confidence, and a decrease of social interactions. Whether or not flotation-REST has positive effects on reduction of sick leave need to be evaluated in further research.
