THE ULTIMATE WATER MASSAGE IS THE ULTIMATE MALL EXPERIENCE: something you'd only do when you realize you can't act above it because you just ate at Orange Julius, fer chrissakes. It looks like an iron lung that's been modified to work like a mini-car wash. And, you know, it feels kinda good. You hop in wearing all your clothes (minus shoes) and the thing closes over you, insulating your body with a plastic (rubber?) sheet that keeps the water from actually getting you wet. You get headphones with New Age-y accompaniment, and, after you've had the pressure adjusted to your liking, you're allowed to control when and where the roaming jets of water pause on your body. You'll want to keep that steady stream goosing your privates, but you won't because you've got some Shoreline yokels gawking at your backside. Vexing. Ultimate Water Massage, 364-1879, seven-minute massage $10, 12 minutes for $15, 20 minutes for $20.

Massage is fast becoming one of the hottest alternative therapies
around. In fact, in surveys most people said that
massage was the form of alternative therapy that they
were most likely to try, and doctors are more likely to
prescribe massage over other therapies. Massage can help
with relaxation, muscle stiffness and contribute to
over-all wellness. There are many options available to those looking for away to try out this ages-old practice for relaxation and wellness. Unfortunately, for a lot of
people taking the time for a massage is just not in the
schedule. Another drawback for some, is the fact that
usually a certain amount of clothing must be removed for
the massage to really |
Ultimate Water Massage is operating at the Tacoma
Mall and offers the best quick massage available. And you
never get wet! Ultimate Water Massage incorporates 36 pulsating water jet streams with fully adjustable pressure. The jet streams of warm water provide a full180 degrees of body coverage (three sides) in the facedown position. The water jets run down the side of the body simulating a personal "fingertip" massage. The massage can be tailored to the client's specific preferences. This form of massage offers advantages over other choices-unlike hot tubs, spas and Jacuzzi's this system provides a minimum of resistance between the user and the water jets. And unlike traditional massage there is no oil to clean up afterwards. |
The
biggest advantage is the time involved. On a break for
lunch? That is enough time for a massage, and there is
very little post massage lethargy with Ultimate Water Massage, so you can head right back to work. The fact that the only item of clothing that need to removed is the shoes is also an attraction for a lot of people. The massage table resembles a tanning bed. Clients lie face down and the lid is dropped into place. The lid provides the secret of the massage. It contains the water jets, separated from the client by a nylon membrane. Also included with the massage is a headset with music written especially for massage, intended to help |
induce
a deep state of relaxation. If you are claustrophobic you
might want to try just lying on the table with the lid
down, before you try an actual massage. There is at panic
button that will, stop the massage for any reason. The
massage starts out softly and gradually progresses, with
the client always in control, letting the operator
know when things are "just right." After a
quick pulsating massage, it moves to an alternating pulse
and a steady stream. One great thing about this massage
is, unlike many I other massage machines, this one does
not neglect the feet. This is a treat, and located in the Tacoma Mall so it is easy to find. Look for Ultimate Water Massage in the Mervyn's end of the Mall, down by Ben Bridge jewelers. Take five and try it out! |
