Massage Therapy Available For Post Covid Syndrome In Puyallup

WA based Unlocking The Body Massage Therapy is pleased to announce that they are now offering a new massage for Post Covid Syndrome in Puyallup. The massage center encourages their community to schedule an appointment soon if they experience any symptoms of Long Covid following their recovery.

Long Covid, also known as Post Covid Syndrome, refers to a number of symptoms that may present in an individual immediately after they recover from Covid or even quite some time after. Notably, these symptoms are not associated with the main illness itself, and a person with Long Covid will no longer necessarily test positive for the virus during this period. Even after the infection is gone, the massage center explains, it can leave behind damage that could take much longer to heal.

The unfortunate truth is that relatively little is known about Long Covid since this ailment is still very new and there has not been enough time for extensive research to be conducted on patients suffering from it. However, new information continues to keep appearing about the possible symptoms that may be associated with it, including dizziness, headaches, fatigue (characterized by becoming chronic), insomnia and more. Physically, patients may report tachycardia (where the heart beats at a rate exceeding 100 beats per minute), joint pain, digestive problems, high blood pressure, muscle pain and so on. Certain cases also present with organ damage and other concerning issues.

In a recent blog post that covers the topic, Unlocking The Body Massage Therapy points out that, “Up to 10 million Americans are likely to experience Long Covid, and of those who had Covid-19, 10–30% experienced at least one persistent symptom up to six months after their infection was cleared. Many of our modalities offered have been reported by clients helping to decrease their post covid symptoms helping them to regain function and quality of life. Let our providers support your body and facilitate wellbeing.”

Crucially, the massage center clarifies that these modalities are recommended by their specialists because of their overall ability to improve wellness and promote healing. While further investigations need to be conducted for a strategy that specifically targets and cures Long Covid, those suffering from this ailment can take their health into their own hands in the meantime and give their body every chance of enjoying a full recovery. The fact that patients are already reporting benefits from attempting these treatments, however, is considered a good sign.

The treatments offered at Unlocking The Body Massage Therapy include Swedish Massage, Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), Gua Sha Therapy, Craniosacral Therapy and more. The massage center adds, “Post Covid Syndrome, or any long term ambiguous ailment, can cause a diminishing sense of hope and leave one feeling stuck. In addition to care at Unlocking The Body Massage Therapy, seeking out care from a Naturopath, Acupuncturist or Chiropractor may be helpful.” The center also urges their community to get in touch for a list of other resources that their team is already familiar with (and can refer clients to as necessary).

Unlocking The Body Massage Therapy is committed to giving their community every tool they need to recover, and this may sometimes mean seeking beyond their walls for insight from other experts. While the center is proud of their licensed massage therapists and what they are capable of, the needs of the client always comes first. As such, they take a conscientious approach to every session.

“I worked with Janelle to see if I could try Manual Lymphatic Drainage massage on a chronically enlarged lymph node from a past infection,” shares a glowing review from Angela M. “Not only was she very thorough, she also spoke with another specialist about how effective this approach would be. When I showed up for my next appointment, she shared that although MLD is helpful for managing drainage of the area, the actual size of lymph nodes usually holds the shape it has taken. I really appreciated her expertise, seeking out more information on my behalf, and for being honest. She let me change my appointment that day to a less expensive therapy so that I saved money. If I have any more MLD needs, I will definitely come back here. Thank you!”

Those looking for relief from Post Covid Syndrome are welcome to contact the massage center for assistance today. They also offer a number of other popular services, including breast massage in Puyallup. Jennifer Bull of Unlocking The Body Massage Therapy may be reached for further details.
