The published protocol for the 7 Wave Full Body Light Panel at Spinal Fitness Health and Wellness Center in Kennewick, WA is a minimum of 3 to 5 sessions per week for 3 to 6 months, which comes to between 39 and 130 sessions over a full course. The panel is priced 3 ways: $35 for 1 session, $95 for 3 sessions, and $300 for a month of unlimited sessions. Members of the center hold 24/7 facility access through a door code issued once training is complete, and every Thursday from 2 to 6 PM the center is open to new visitors for a free session.
The session count at each end of the protocol
Three months is about 13 weeks and 6 months is about 26 weeks. At the minimum of 3 sessions a week, 13 weeks is 39 sessions and 26 weeks is 78 sessions. At 5 sessions a week, 13 weeks is 65 sessions and 26 weeks is 130 sessions. Per month, 3 sessions a week is about 13 sessions and 5 sessions a week is about 22 sessions.
What each pricing option costs across the course
Single sessions at $35. The 39-session minimum course costs $1,365 in single sessions. The 130-session maximum course costs $4,550.
Three-packs at $95. A 3-pack works out to $31.67 per session. The 39-session course is 13 three-packs, or $1,235.
Monthly unlimited at $300. A 3-month course costs $900 and a 6-month course costs $1,800, whatever the weekly frequency. At about 13 sessions a month the unlimited rate is $23.08 per session; at about 22 sessions a month it is $13.64 per session.
At every frequency inside the protocol, the monthly unlimited option is the lowest cost per session of the 3 options, because the minimum of 13 sessions a month costs $455 at $35 each and $415 in 3-packs (4 three-packs plus 1 single session).
The hyperbaric session inside the monthly unlimited
The $300 monthly unlimited light package also includes 1 mild hyperbaric session of 90 minutes each month. That session takes place in a 1.3 ATA soft-sided chamber supplied by an oxygen concentrator, and a 90-minute hyperbaric session booked on its own is $100. Over a 6-month course the light package therefore carries 6 hyperbaric sessions, a $600 value at the single-session hyperbaric price.
Pairing a panel session with other services in 1 visit
Many members book light sessions back-to-back with a sauna, hyperbaric or PEMF session in the same visit. Members may use the near-infrared saunas 24/7, first come, first served, without exercising. The hot exercise room uses a low-EMF Sauna Fix radiant tent that emits 550 to 3000 nm, with no preheat and a maximum of 155°F.
The PEMF loop is a separate bookable service at $60 per session, and PEMF uses a pulsed electromagnetic field rather than light. A hyperbaric session runs 90 minutes when booked and 1 hour on a membership, so it is the longest of the 3 services to plan around in a single visit.
What happens in the light room
You stand or sit in front of the full-body panel in a private room, with bare skin facing the panel. Eye protection is provided and is worn every session. A session runs 10 to 20 minutes. The room booking allows about 5 minutes before the session to undress and about 5 minutes after it to dress. Members who have completed their training run their own light sessions.
Screening before the first session
The light room also contains a UVB device, the Sperti lamp, so the center does not describe the room as risk-free for everyone. People with light-sensitive conditions, people taking photosensitizing medications, and anyone who is pregnant should check with their healthcare provider before booking a session. The manufacturers’ screening guidance for the panel and the lamp is reviewed at orientation.
