Floating helps woman with Fibromyalgia pain – Interview

“After my first float, I had complete pain relief for 17 hours.”

Tina Graham of the UK talks about how floating in an isolation tank has helped her deal with the immense physical pain she suffers from Fibromyalgia (FM). As a result, she was eventually able to stop taking some of her medications. Tina also explores the psychological side of floating, her personal odyssey and how floating ties into her own PhD research. Here she is being interviewed at the Float Summit Conference in April 2012.
