Float Tanks; float therapy

Has anyone ever had a session in a float tank? It seems like an up and coming treatment for relaxation and aches/pains. Just curious if anyone knows what this is and/or has experienced it. Looking to try it out soon..

I went to one about a year ago and I can honestly say that I would never go again. I got so claustrophobic that I literally couldn't enjoy myself. Add getting salt water in my eyes and nose and it is a no go for me.

Thanks for sharing. I am not generally claustrophobic, but who knows if this would bother me. I guess it's worth a try

I didn't do a float tank, but I will tell you, my last pregnancy was a summer pregnancy, and I got in the water to try and lift the baby to give my joints/hips a break. It was wonderful until I got out. As soon as I got out and she settled back, the pain was twice as bad as it had been before I got in.

I could see it being relaxing but haven't done it. For soreness I would recommend a prenatal massage. I also have DH rub my hips almost every night. They are extremely tight. So far, so good.
