SENSORY DEPRIVATION IN A FLOTATION TANK | WHAT IS FLOAT THERAPY? | Doctor Mike
Hey guys! Have you heard of float tanks or restricted environmental stimulation therapy (REST)? There have been a lot of claims made about the health benefits of floating. Also, I've gotten some questions about them recently, so I decided to try it out for myself. I hope you enjoy, and definitely let me know if you want more videos like this in the future by giving the video a like and a share.

Also - you really motivated me with some of your videos. I'm doing my masters and I'm really stressed out by so many issues that's come up (personal as well) - and you just have a way to calm people down. You are a great doctor!

As a result I’m taking several of his suggestions: - I’ve started keto-not necessarily to lose weight (I need to lose a BOATLOAD, tho)-but yo control my A!C. - I’ve started the three nightly gratitudes. - I’ve checked out several apps. The Lifesum app is really good. I’m a fatty and I got the premium. Спасибо, Миша!

Great job, Dr. Mike. I was not expecting that you'd call out some of the false statements/exaggerations toward the end. I'm sure it's incredibly relaxing, and everyone could use some relaxation sometimes, but then it's mega-stressful when you get the bill! The freezing/cryo machines are even worse. They make claims to "cure" inflammatory conditions. If only... I agree with the person who posted on eating disorders. It would be nice to see all the behind-the-scenes work what make you look the way you do. Our vulnerable young people are chasing an impossible ideal. I know these disorders are multi-faceted and challenging to treat, but it's a start. You're doing a great job. Thank you!

Idk y but pennywise came to mind when I saw the word float "you'll float too"

We all float down here! It's a line from the book, IT. When Georgie Denbrough loses his paper boat down a storm drain and goes to retrieve it, he sees a clown with sinister glowing eyes in the sewer. The clown, (who introduces himself as Pennywise the Dancing Clown) offers him a balloon. Georgie asks him if it floats (Basically, if it's a helium filled balloon). Pennywise says it floats and that "We all float down here!" He refuses the balloon but reaches in for his boat. Pennywise rips his arm off and he does from shock/blood loss. Sorry for all that. I'm a huge Stephen King nerd, and IT is one of my faves. The Stand is wonderful, as well. Pet Sematary is delightful, I love how the main character slowly goes mad throughout the book. 'Salem's Lot is a joy, especially if you like vampires. I'd be better off listing the Stephen King books I don't like than the ones I do. Much shorter list.

This is why I look up to you Dr. Mike I hope one day to be as great and successful as you are 💜
Dr. Mike, thank you for all of your advice. Thank you for all of your guidance. Thank you for all of your encouragement. Thank you for always having a kind word. Thank you for your honesty. Thank you for sharing that smile with the world (we def need more smiles these days), and most importantly, thank you for always starting my day with positivity. Not sure many people tell you, but your words DO matter and they DO make a difference. Sending the ❤ back to you!
I found your channel because of the videos of you critiquing medical dramas, which were very entertaining and enlightening. But, I'm really enjoying your unbiased and scientific approach to things like this. I really appreciate how you take the time out of your obviously busy schedule to produce these videos.
This is so cool I’ve always wanted to try this and I was skeptical at first but I know you wouldn’t make anything up about this sort of stuff. Thanks for the video! ❤️
Great advice at the end.
Loved the video! Very informative! Will you by any chance be doing a video on sleep soon?
Love this! I love how this makes a bigger point about how there is no such thing as a “cure-all.”
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL SO MUCH ! 😭💖
They opened a new floating place near me and it’s been receiving positive reviews. Going to try this out since I have been stressed lately. Thanks for the video Dr. Mike!
I like that you take what advice you give patients so seriously. People should take that more seriously in general
Man. I just found your channel and I love the content! Thanks for really keep it real.
I tried once. The one I went into was an egg shaped capsule. Fully dark and quiet, you go in completely naked. Its amazing. It was really hard to relax at first, but after about half an hour I managed to relax completely and disconnect from physical feelings. Completely awake, but not burdened by any physical sensations. The most relaxing feeling Ive ever had in my life. I managed to reach thoughts and abstractions I never could before. Highly advisable. If you feel comfortable with yourself you will relax. If you dont you will realize that being alone with your cognition is not so bad after all. Maybe if you have panic attacks or some mental issues it may be scary, but otherwise its really beneficial experience.

Doctor Mike, I beg of you, PLEASE never compromise your commitment to following the evidence. Never sell out. Your integrity and genuine concern for patients is what sets you apart as a doctor and social media personality. Great video!
I so want to try that now! Thanks for sharing 🙂 Also, Dr. Mike would you ever consider doing podcasts? I would love to hear some from you!
👍🏼👍🏼 “First, do no harm” is correct. Interesting video, Dr Mike! Thank you for sharing.
Great video! I enjoy using float tanks. You did a great job explaining your experience. I find it interesting how movement feels exaggerated. Each float can be give a slightly different experience. Instead of brainstorming, I focus on my heartbeat or breathing or listen to meditative music to clear my mind of thought. Leaves me refreshed and extremely calm afterwards. Both mentally and physically.
That wink at the end of the video though wow my heart is literally fluttering 😃❤️👍🏼🙌🏼
Thank you soooo much for going so far your fans. Research. I am following your steps sir. I want to become a doctor such as yourself. I rely on your information and research. Thank you!
Thanks for this video, I've heard so many things about the benefits of things like this, and a place like this opened up in the town next to where I work so I started hearing about it even more after that. Funny thing is, due to my fears of certain swimming pools/tubs this would do the exact opposite of helping me, especially being left alone in the dark in there, I almost had a hard time watching you through the video because of my fears, lol, so silly! Give me a bike ride alone in nature with nothing but animal sounds or some music on my iPod and that is my equivalent of this kind of therapy, I think it only makes sense that different people benefit differently so nothing works for everyone and you should do what works best for you! I also hate the supposed claims and miracle benefits of things and they usually make me run the opposite direction from buying things as a result. Haha, nothing can be that amazing! Another great video!
Great video as usual! Though the idea of sharing water with strangers is a bit frightening!! Even with the new filtration systems.

Interesting, first time I ever hear about flotation therapy. Thanks for sharing this kind of therapy with us 👍🏻
Hmmm now I'm curious! But I'm sceptical being with my own mind alone and relax out of it. Worth a try out. 😅
I've been in a lower-tech sensory deprivation thing... It was just a box, really, and no water was involved. I enjoyed it a lot. As someone with Sensory Processing Disorder (all of my senses are super strong & get overwhelmed easily), I found it to be a nice little break. Unfortunately, they only gave me 10 minutes of lying in the box. It was technically somebody's art project, and it was free to experience in 10-minute intervals.
Sounds like a good chance to unwind)) Never heard about flotation tanks before, thanks!
Such a kind soul.
Must be full on, not only being a doctor but also keeping up on KZread too, videos take a long time to make. Plus living and training, eating, sleeping, it all adds up.
