Comings and Goings: Relaxation Therapy on Main Street

Defying the economic slowdown, entrepreneurial brothers Sean (r) and Tom Morton are launching a new business, IFloat at 163 Main St. above Oscar’s Deli. The effort is dedicated to “relaxation therapy,” which according to Sean Morton, is a treatment based on a technique called Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy – REST,” a concept developed in the 1950s. REST therapy involves floating on a bath filled with 10 inches of water that is supersaturated with salts. “The person floats like a cork, totally buoyant,” he said. Former Westporters, Sean graduated from Staples in 1983 and Tom in 1985. Currently under construction, the business will open next month. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
