Specializing in Trauma-Informed Massage & Auto Accident Recovery in Puyallup, WA

If you’ve recently been in a car accident—even a minor one—you may still be experiencing pain, stiffness, or tension you didn’t notice right away. Many people brush it off, thinking it will get better with time. But your body remembers impact, and ignoring that trauma can delay healing or even create long-term problems.

At Whole Health Services PLLC in Puyallup, I offer trauma-informed, insurance-covered massage therapy specifically tailored to help your body recover from an auto accident.

 Why Massage After a Car Accident?

Even if you didn’t need emergency care, it’s common to experience:

• Neck pain or stiffness (often from whiplash)
   
• Headaches or migraines
   
• Lower back pain or hip tightness
   
• Trouble sleeping or focusing
   
• Emotional distress or anxiety
   

That’s because the body stores trauma in the nervous system and soft tissues. Massage therapy can gently interrupt that cycle—helping your muscles release tension, your mind relax, and your nervous system begin to regulate again.

As a Licensed Massage Therapist with over 23 years of experience, I practice a gentle, intuitive form of massage that respects your emotional and physical boundaries. This approach is ideal if you feel nervous, sensitive to touch, or overwhelmed after a collision.

Sessions are fully customized and may include:

• Myofascial release for neck and back pain
   
• Psoas release for hip and pelvic alignment
   
• Lymphatic drainage to reduce inflammation
   
• Breathwork and grounding to calm the nervous system
   

 Is Massage Therapy Covered by Auto Insurance?

Yes! In Washington State, massage therapy is often covered by PIP (Personal Injury Protection) or uninsured motorist coverage. That means you may not have to pay out of pocket.
