a lot of different things people try when they're stressed out you might try taking a nap you might try hitting the nearest happy hour now there's a growing trend people are trying called float therapy that some believe provides similar results local forever odd Casa may shows us how it all works some say it's similar to a massage or another type of spa service and many of those who have tried it might disagree though either way people are looking at sensory deprivation as a way to disconnect from the real world even if just for an hour it's a way to relax reduce stress and pain in zero-gravity completely deprived of all senses it's called floatation therapy and it's growing in popularity floatation therapy is basically there's a tub that's nine by five is a thousand pounds of Epsom salt dissolved into ten inches of water so when you get in the water becomes and makes you become buoyant so you flow effortlessly David McCullough is the owner of inception it's a Wellness Center in Farmington Hills where customers can come to just float in this floatation room or in these large egg-shaped floatation pots we want to help people to overcome stressors people like Anton Wis Biscay you just feel rejuvenated you feel a lot more calm and you don't feel anxious and for me personally I feel energized it's also heated to skin temperature so 93.5 you lose a sense of where your where your body is and what a water is lean back and then convince the Golden State warrior basketball star Steph Curry is one of many celebrities and athletes who are giving floatation therapy a try I haven't had any athletes yet that I've tried this but I I know it's a thing that's become more and more popular dr. NIC more practices sports medicine here in Metro Detroit and has even tested out floatation therapy himself would you recommend it I wouldn't recommend against it but I wouldn't necessarily know send someone to treat it I you know I would more likely be trying to find sort of the pathology that's causing the pain and and target that treatment well athletes and many others insist floatation therapy is a remedy for their pain I couldn't say with any degree of certainty that this float therapy is going to any specific injury in fact dr. more notes that insurance won't cover it and more studies need to be done to prove its effectiveness from a medical standpoint still he's not against it if they think they get benefit from it then I'm okay with them doing it as long as they understand the cost unlike medicine there's little to no side effects even though science has yet to actually prove that it works it's not stopping people from coming in regularly to disconnect once your body's relaxed your mind can relax it's pretty awesome and there are a number of places to try floatation therapy here in Metro Detroit the prices do vary doctors say that more testing research and peer reviews need to be done to prove its effectiveness I've broadcast I'm a local for looks like it works to me there's a lot of stress right now if you just just spend a little time on social media if there's a lot of stress
