How Often Should You Float?

Tailoring Your Sessions for Maximum Benefit

As the popularity of float therapy continues to rise, one question remains at the forefront for many: How often should you float? At Flow Spa, we encounter this query frequently, and the answer isn't one-size-fits-all. It largely depends on your specific goals and reasons for floating.

Having seen thousands of clients come in for all the purposes and benefits of floating you can imagine, we have some recommended guidelines for maximizing the benefits you’re looking for.

The Multifaceted Benefits of Floating

If you've ever floated with us or delved into our articles, such as the "Top Eleven Benefits of Floating," you're already aware of the myriad health advantages that float therapy offers. From mental relaxation to physical rejuvenation, the benefits are vast and varied.

Tailoring Your Float Frequency

Let's break down the most common reasons people turn to float therapy and the recommended frequency based on our observations and feedback from our valued clients:

1. Pain Relief

For those seeking solace from chronic pain or discomfort, floating can be a game-changer.

Recommended Frequency: Every 1-2 weeks.

2. Stress and Anxiety Management

In our fast-paced world, finding moments of calm can be challenging. Float therapy offers a sanctuary for the mind.

Recommended Frequency: Every 2-4 weeks.

3. Boosting Creativity

Whether you're an artist, writer, or simply someone looking to think outside the box, floating can unlock doors to deeper creativity. While there are no strict guidelines, we've found a sweet spot for maintaining that creative connection.

Recommended Frequency: At least once per month.

Consider the entrepreneur on the brink of a groundbreaking launch. A float session can provide the clarity and focus needed to tackle challenges head-on. Similarly, a musician amidst a gruelling tour might find inspiration for a new song during a float.

4. Enhancing Sports Performance

For athletes, float therapy isn't just about relaxation; it's a tool for visualization, recovery, and peak performance.

Recommended Frequency: Weekly or every two weeks.

Especially during intense training periods or in the lead-up to competitions, athletes might benefit from even more frequent sessions. In the final week leading up to strongman competitions, I floated every single day when I was trying to recover and continue to mentally rehearse to perform my best.

This high frequency ensures optimal recovery and prevents overexertion, allowing athletes to push their boundaries safely.

Your Float Therapy Journey Awaits

In essence, the frequency of your float sessions should align with your personal goals and needs. Whether you're seeking physical relief, mental clarity, or a boost in creativity, float therapy can be tailored to serve you best. Always remember to listen to your body and mind, and adjust your float schedule accordingly.
