Flotation therapy offers a scientifically researched alternative that is safe and natural to many conditions plaguing our modern-day culture. Flotation therapy, aka R.E.S.T. (Reduced Environmental Stimulus Therapy) is an all-natural, powerful tool that offers relief and benefits which are cumulative (they build with each subsequent session). You will float effortlessly due to the 1,000+ pounds of pharmaceutical grade Epsom salt. During your float the outside world kind of disappears. And it turns out that when your mind is not constantly taking in all that external information, your body has a lot of extra resources at its disposal.
Flotation Therapy has been shown to reduce blood pressure, stress, anxiety, and physical pain, as well as improve sleep quality and increase feelings of serenity and well-being. Clinical research has reported floating also has a profoundly beneficial effect on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other stress and pain related conditions.
A TIME Magazine article Does Float Therapy Really Treat Stress from 2015, writes about neuropsychologist Justin Feinstein and his unique Float Research Center in Oklahoma. Dr. Feinstein shows how floating mimics the effects of meditation – and medication – by shutting down the “fight or flight” response that can trigger symptoms like nightmares and night sweats in PTSD sufferers.
Veterans are among those who benefit the most from the unique combination of benefits that floating and reduced environmental stimulus offer. In combination with other traditional therapies, it can be an incredible tool for unwinding the effects of PTSD and its many co-factors – such as depression and anxiety – in addition to aiding recovery from traumatic brain injuries, concussions and blast-induced neurotrauma. There’s even some preliminary evidence suggesting that neurological changes that occur during a float – stimulation of the nucleus accumbens, the dopamine center, with simultaneous de-activation of the medial prefrontal cortex, where (often compulsive) decisions are made – may aid in recovery from addictive behaviors that often follow sufferers of PTSD.
Many vets find the solitude of the float tank environment – specifically, not having to talk to anyone about their experiences – to be a refreshingly different and a comfortable space for processing their personal thoughts and memories.

Veterans and our active duty military members are one of the groups that benefits the most from Flotation Therapy, we offer a 15% discount. We want to make Flotation Therapy as accessible as possible. We realize that veterans often find themselves in a lower economic bracket due the physical and psychological issues afflicting their transition back into civilian life. The active and retired military/veteran community are often highly under served by the existing institutions available to them, or the traditional solutions that are made available (typically pharmacology and psychotherapy) just don’t work for them. This discount applies to not just single floats, but also to our already heavily-discounted packages and memberships.
(Available on regular priced items only. Specialty items not included)

The Float Forward Program is a great way to give back to our active-duty military and veterans for all the sacrifices they have made and currently make. When you donate to this fund, you are giving someone the opportunity to experience the benefits of Flotation Therapy. These benefits can help both mentally and physically.
How to give:
Individuals can donate any amount into the fund or donate any of our float services. Buoy Underground float members can opt to share floats that are credited to their accounts and donated into the Float Forward program.
How to receive:
Active duty military and veterans can sign up for the Float Forward program by calling us at 920-666-6907 or stop in and visit. Please bring your military ID or DD Form 214, or state issued ID with veteran designation with you to your appointment. A Buoy Underground Float Specialist will contact you to set up an appointment when floats become available. Float Forward will assign free floats in order from when they sign up. Participants who have not had the opportunity to experience floating before will be given preference.
