Benefits of Dry Floatation for those with ADHD.


Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can make daily life feel like a constant battle of focus, restlessness, and overwhelming thoughts. In most cases, managing ADHD requires a combination of therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes. However, wellness treatments like dry floatation therapy are gaining attention for the potential to help people with ADHD find balance and calm in their minds and bodies.


Dry Floatation helps in a number of ways, here are just a few…


Reduces Hyperactivity and Restlessness

ADHD often presents itself as restlessness, fidgeting, or an inability to sit still. Dry floatation offers a space where the body can feel truly weightless, which soothes physical hyperactivity. The gentle, calming environment can help individuals with ADHD feel less antsy, promoting a sense of physical stillness.


Promotes Mental Clarity and Focus

For people with ADHD, mental fog and racing thoughts are common. The sensory-reducing environment of dry floatation encourages deep relaxation, allowing the brain to enter a meditative state. This reduced sensory input can lead to clearer thinking, improved focus, and better cognitive function after the session.


Improves Emotional Regulation

Many with ADHD experience heightened emotions, mood swings, and difficulty managing stress. Dry floatation helps to lower cortisol levels (the stress hormone), which may lead to better emotional regulation. By providing a serene environment, the therapy can support a more balanced emotional state, helping to manage feelings of frustration or overwhelm.


Please know that while dry floatation is not a standalone treatment for ADHD, it can be a highly effective complementary tool to traditional therapies. Its calming, grounding effects can offer much-needed respite for the ADHD mind and body, creating a space for stillness, focus, and emotional balance. By incorporating dry floatation into an overall ADHD management plan, individuals may find relief from some of the more difficult symptoms, allowing them to navigate daily challenges with greater ease and mental clarity.


Please also be aware that every person with ADHD experiences it differently so whilst Dry Floatation Therapy might be the answer to helping calm some, it may not be the right thing for everyone.
