Float like a butterfly? Today’s top athletes are utilizing flotation therapy to float like a champion.

Aly Raisman, a two-time Olympic gymnast with a gold medal from Rio already in the bag, recently discussed flotation therapy as a part of her training program: “You literally float in salt water for an hour or so. That stuff is really crucial because you have to find ways to rest.”

Turns out she’s in good company – elite athletes have been floating their way to greatness for decades, citing both physical and mental benefits.
