True REST Float Spa Celebrates Veterans Day with Free Float Therapy Sessions for Veterans
Spas will be closed to the public, thanking more than 1,700 veterans for their service
SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / October 26, 2021 / This Veterans Day, True REST Float Spa, the world’s largest flotation therapy brand, will show its commitment to supporting the U.S. military and U.S. veterans with a 100% natural and scientifically proven pain relief alternative: flotation therapy. On November 11, the True REST Float Spa will close all locations to the public and invite retired military personnel to float for free for 60 minutes. Floating Therapy is scientifically proven to help treat and manage symptoms of chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and PTSD in a safe and holistic way. Interested veterans are encouraged to visit the True REST Float Spa online to book their free Veterans Day floatation therapy appointment. True REST Float Spa hopes to serve over 1,700 U.S. veterans this Veterans Day.
True REST Float Spa’s overall commitment to the military is strong. Since 2014, True REST has donated nearly 17,000 free tanks to the military. In addition to Veterans Day, the spa brand has designated every eleventh day of the month, every month, as the US Army Appreciation Day. It offers free 60-minute tanks to any serviceman or veteran on active duty.
Clinical research proves that flotation therapy works as an alternative treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other conditions related to stress and pain. While the US military and veterans are not the only groups suffering from PTSD, it is high among veterans. According to the Veterans Administration, the number of veterans with PTSD varies by time of service:
Operations Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Enduring Freedom (OEF): Approximately 11-20 in 100 Veterans (or between 11-20%) who served in the OIF or OEF suffer from PTSD in any given year.
Gulf War (Desert Storm): About 12 in 100 Gulf War veterans (or 12%) suffer from PTSD in any given year.
Vietnam War: About 15 in 100 Vietnamese veterans (or 15%) were currently diagnosed with PTSD at the time of the most recent study in the late 1980s, the National Vietnam Veterans Readjustment Study (NVVRS) . It is estimated that around 30 in 100 (or 30%) of Vietnamese veterans have suffered from PTSD in their lifetime.
“Because science proves the effectiveness of flotation therapy, we believe it is our responsibility to introduce the True REST Float Spa to as many veterans as possible,” said James Rowe, CEO of True REST Float Spa . “Each of our franchisees has heard story after story from veterans about the positive impact of floating therapy on their mental and physical health. I am extremely proud of the work we do for our military, not only on November 11, but throughout the year. We are unwavering in our commitment to the science of wellness and are honored to share the benefits of floating therapy and hopefully break down the barriers to alternative holistic healthcare.
Flotation therapy is commonly known as REST, or Reduced Environmental Stimulation Therapy. Individuals float in a pod filled with a specialized solution of 1,000 pounds of Epsom salts and 180 gallons of water, allowing the body to float effortlessly on the solution set at skin temperature. In the floating pod, individuals are devoid of any distractions such as sound, light, touch and smell, allowing the brain to shut down, refocus and rest. In addition, when individuals are floating, gravity is nonexistent, which helps muscles release tension and stress.
A scientific study on anxiety, “REST Flotation in Applied Psychophysiology” by Thomas H. Fine, MA, and Roderick Borrie, Ph.D., at the Medical College of Ohio, noted that “patients reported much more relief. significant flotation anxiety and stress than any other modality.For depression, flotation equaled advice at almost 70%, with relaxation training at 53% and physical therapy and medication at 20% .
In addition, True REST Float Spa dedicates its time and services to active duty military personnel and veterans by implementing support opportunities. In 2020, the national franchise began a partnership with the Yellow Ribbon Fund, a non-profit organization formed to conduct research on floating therapy in PTSD. Yellow Ribbon Fund is a 501 (c) 3 veterans service organization dedicated to serving wounded, ill and injured service members after 9/11 and their families from all branches of the U.S. military following unexpected medical crises . The non-profit organization has established a strong collaboration with True REST to provide holistic options that provide veterans and military personnel with healthier lives.
True REST Float Spa recommends veterans who wish to float on November 11 to make an appointment soon by visiting TrueRest.com/free-floats-for-military-veterans. Individuals must bring military ID to their appointment, such as a DD 214 form. True REST has a total of 37 locations open in 22 states, with some locations having up to six floats equipped with showers, locker rooms, an oxygen bar and an oasis room to elevate the spa-like experience.
