Float Your Way to Good Health

Fathi Buhazza, Owner of Point Zero Floatation in the UAE, brought Floatation Therapy to UAE nearly 10 years ago as an antidote for the stressful and sometimes exhausting lifestyle we lead here. He highlights the key benefits to Floatation therapy at Point Zero.
The Basics
Floatation, explains Buhazza, means to float on the surface of a super-saturated salt solution. “Thanks to the high concentration of salt in the water, the human body lies effortlessly on the surface of the water without having to use any special breathing techniques or contracting of the muscles,” he says. “A sensation of weightlessness is felt and as the body further relaxes, it enables a deep sense of contentment.” In absolute peace and quiet, the nervous system and brain are no longer stimulated by external senses.
Key Benefits
- Floatation offers the maximum amount of rest for the shortest amount of time; one hour of floating provides greater mental and physical rest than a night’s sleep.
- It relaxes the brain into an Alpha state allowing for improved creative thinking for problem solving and creative solutions.
- Floatation offers rapid pain relief, supports improved sports performance, and facilitates faster recovery from strains and injury.
- It aids detoxification and weight-loss.
- Floatation significantly decreases cortisol levels; therefore it lowers anxiety and stress levels.
- It increases the release of endorphins for a greater sense of well-being.
- It maximizes healing benefits when combined with other therapies.
Results
According to Buhazza, clients will feel the benefits immediately after their first Floatation session, but most clients try to fit in at least one, one-hour session every week. “We are open daily until late in the evening and are conveniently located in DIFC with lots of parking, so it’s easy to fit a float session into even the busiest schedules,” he explains.
