ew England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is a fan. So is Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman. And basketball star Steph Curry. And members of the U.S. Special Forces. They all have used something called floating to help them perform better and heal quicker. These are the same reasons Amy and Brooks Brinson went out on a limb three years ago and opened Loudoun County’s first floatation center in the heart of Ashburn. It’s called OmFLOAT, and many who try it quickly become proponents. “Once you just let yourself go, it is amazing,” said Broadlands resident Jessica Reed. She and her husband, Jim, have become regulars at OmFLOAT. Jessica has fibromyalgia and was looking for alternatives to prescription medicines. “It makes a world of difference to me and I feel relaxed for days.”
