For veterans seeking relief, Aqua Spa Float Center & Wellness Boutique in Oswego has become a go-to. From pain relief and inflammation relief to insomnia and PTSD, the holistic modalities are helping Veterans feel better.
And, with the inclusion of Massage Therapy, veterans will soon have a new opportunity to promote their overall wellness and well being.
The Aqua Spa Float Center & Wellness Boutique announced a new partnership with Zeel to help expand access to professional massage therapy services for Veterans through VA-related referral opportunities.
Through this partnership, the holistic wellness boutique will work with Zeel to receive referrals for eligible Veterans seeking massage therapy as part of their comprehensive care. Massage services at the Aqua Spa Float Center are delivered by a qualified, licensed massage therapist to provide Veterans with access to massage in a professional setting.
The VA’s Whole Health System initiative recognizes medical massage therapy as one of its complementary and integrative health approaches which is available to Veterans when deemed clinically appropriate by their healthcare team.
Other modalities offered by the wellness center include Float Therapy, Infrared Sauna, Red Light Therapy and more.
Veterans are finding an extraordinary source of relief from pain and PTSD thanks to float therapy. A 2014 study shows that patients who underwent floatation therapy experienced reductions in blood pressure, stress, anxiety, and physical pain, as well as improvements in sleep quality and optimism.

Float therapy for Veterans had also made national headlines. TIME Magazine interviewed then 23-year old Australian soldier, Michael Harding, who suffered from severe PTSD. His wife discovered float therapy while researching PTSD help online and Harding decided to give it a try.
According to the article, “He fell asleep in the tank and woke up an hour later feeling refreshed. By three floats, Harding says his anxiety and hyper-vigilance had subsided. By three months of floating, so had his night sweats. “After floating, I was really mellowed out,” he says. “I’m not really sure how it does it, but I do know that floating has allowed me to feel in a more confident, comfortable headspace.” (time.com/floating/)
