The Amazing Thing That Happens When You Disconnect | Float Therapy Research at TedX Salem
“It’s enhancing mental wellness. In fact, 75% of patients said that this was THE MOST relaxing experience they have ever had in life.”
We are always so grateful to see float therapy research showcased especially when presented by one of float’s primary modern day researchers. Dr. Justin Feinstein and his staff run the Float Clinic at the Laureate Institute for Brain Research in Tulsa, Oklahoma. You can view his entire TedX talk presenting his most recent research below.
We know how powerful float therapy is for stress, generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD, agoraphobia, and so many other mental health conditions rooted in anxiety, but it is truly incredible to understand the how and why. At LIBR, Dr. Feinstein is able to put patients in fMRI machines immediately before and after float and also measure the body’s response to float DURING the float session (monitoring blood pressure, heart rate, and brain waves).

Dr. Justin Feinstein shares how float therapy can help disconnect the nervous system from life's constant stream of stimulation, and in the process help individuals reconnect to themselves, especially those who suffer from stress and anxiety. Dr. Justin Feinstein is a Clinical Neuropsychologist and Director of the Float Clinic and Research Center at the Laureate Institute for Brain Research. His laboratory investigates the effects of Floatation-REST (Reduced Environmental Stimulation Therapy) on both the body and the brain, while also exploring its potential as a therapeutic treatment for promoting mental health and healing in patients who suffer from anxiety and stress-related disorders. Dr. Feinstein joined the faculty of the Laureate Institute for Brain Research and the Oxley College of Health Sciences at the University of Tulsa in 2013, after completing his Ph.D. at the University of Iowa, and his postdoctoral fellowship at the California Institute of Technology. He earned his undergraduate degree in cognitive neuroscience at the University of California, San Diego, and completed his clinical internship at the San Diego VA hospital with a focus on the treatment of veterans with PTSD. https://www.clinicalfloatation.com/ This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
