Day Spa In Puyallup Offers Massage Therapy And More

Unlocking The Body, a massage clinic located in Puyallup, Washington, is offering massage wellness packages that can be covered by health insurance plans. They point out that people can now stop using pills and temporary fixes for their pain issues. This day spa in Puyallup can offer massage therapy sessions for clients who are suffering from pain as a result of car accidents, work injuries or other causes of pain.

Jennifer Bull, LMT, owner of Unlocking The Body, says, “Many people are unaware massage therapy is a covered benefit under most health insurance plans, or if you are in a car accident or hurt on the job. We can help you utilize these benefits and pay less out of pocket for your massage therapy sessions. We accept the following Insurance Carriers: Regence, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Amazon, Teamsters, First Choice Health Network, VA - Community Care, Car Accidents with Personal Injury Protection, Work Related Injuries, Kaiser Options or Access, and United Healthcare.”

Jennifer Bull explains that billing massage therapy will require a diagnosis from a physician, chiropractor, naturopath, nurse practitioner, or physician’s assistant, but they can help with this. At present, Medicare, Tricare, Apple Health, and DSHS do not cover massage therapy but she says that as a courtesy, they will offer a discounted rate of $60 for the first visit session, and $70 thereafter with no contracts.

Aside from the massage therapy services, Unlocking The Body also has a float tank in Puyallup. The float tank is used as a sensory deprivation tank for flotation therapy. This has several advantages, such as: to promote well-being, to reduce “fight or flight” response; for meditation with little effort; for pain relief; and to reduce tension and inflammation.

Unlocking The Body offers a 60 or 90 minute float in their 6 feet by 9 feet custom, glass enclosed float pool with nine-foot ceilings. The float pool is filled with 250 gallons of solution, about 12-inch deep with approximately 1,200 pounds of dissolved epsom salts so that the client can float weightlessly. What makes their setup unique is that there is ample room in the float pool. Unlocking The Body also provides many bolstering methods, water temperature, room temperature, and other comfort alternatives.

For sound options, clients can float with nothing but traditional sensory deprivation sessions, or they can choose a personalized experience with their own music. The day spa has preselected and tested certain music with success. Or clients can choose guided meditations and chakra balancing floats.

They are open seven days a week for floating, but there is only a limited number of float appointments per day because of the personalized and individualized experience that they provide. People usually use flotation therapy to recover from injuries, relieve stress, addiction, reduce inflammation, eliminate chronic pain, flight anxiety, and more. Research studies have shown that floating can boost endorphin and dopamine levels, elevating a person’s mood. Meanwhile, the magnesium sulfate in the epsom salt is good for inflammation, muscle tension, and nervous system regulation.

Float tanks can also be used for training the mind to do meditation. For instance, after around 30 to 45 minutes of floating, the mind begins to produce theta brainwaves, which are responsible for that “between waking and sleeping” state.

Unlocking The Body offers a wide range of services. These include active isolated stretching; craniosacral therapy; fascial stretch therapy; gua sha therapy; intraoral massage therapy; manual lymph drainage; relaxation Swedish massage; medical massage therapy; ashiatsu massage; cupping therapy; hot stone massage; kenisio taping; prenatal massage; reiki; Thai yoga massage; and reflexology.

They also have a number of add-ons to their massage spa packages. These include aromatherapy essentials, scalp and facial massage essentials, Breathe Well Congestion Comfort, hot stone essentials, cupping therapy essentials, reflexology mini session, sports recovery essentials, chakra balancing with crystals and sound; aromatherapy deluxe, sports recovery premium, and cupping therapy premium.
