Is Floating Safe With High Blood Pressure?

Is floating safe if you’ve got high blood pressure?

The short answer is - yes!

It’s helpful to know that the temperature in the float tanks is skin temperature neutral so you don’t overheat or get cold. This also means that it’s safe for anyone with high blood pressure because it’s not going to raise blood pressure the way a hot tub does, which is why you have to avoid hot tubs.

In fact, float tanks help to reduce blood pressure. Research on the benefits of float therapy has shown significant reductions in indicators of stress, including high blood pressure after just one one-hour float session. That’s why it’s safe for high blood pressure but always check with your doctor first if you have any concerns.

So if it’s time for you to reduce some stress, it’s a great time to float!
