Slowing down is sometimes the best way to speed up Do you ever feel like you need to go faster and harder all the time in order to feel productive? In the case of our health, slowing down is often what is actually needed and can even accelerate healing in the long run. Activities like meditation, free-writing, restorative yoga and rest-days pay off in the form of mental clarity and higher productivity in times when we need to turn the energy up.... Acupuncture applies to this too. When you come in for your acupuncture appointment, your job is basically to do nothing. You get comfortable and let the acupuncture work its magic. You get to give yourself permission to let go of all your other obligations while you are on the treatment table. Doing so only helps to enhance your treatment and accelerate your healing. One of the benefits of regular acupuncture, besides relieving pain/balancing hormones/mood boosting/happier periods/etc, is that this moment of restoration is built into your schedule. You no longer have to worry about doing it. It becomes a habit you look forward to. In what ways are you slowing down and seeing it pay off? I would love to know in the comments! #acupuncture #tcm #chinesemedicine #alternativemedicine #acupuncturenyc #cupping #traditionalchinesemedicine #healing #wellness #mindfulness #selfcare #breathe #relax #slowliving #soulfulliving #connect #meditation #consciousliving #yoga #meditate #recharge #calm See more

Bye Bye Back Spasm It's happened to all of us, or at least someone we know: You're lifting something and find yourself in extreme pain. Your back has gone into spasm. Back spasms are muscular pain, but it can feel more like you "broke" your back because the pain is so intense. Back spasms are your body's defensive response to perceived danger to your spine. Your muscles seize up to brace your spine in an effort to protect it. Unfortunately, these spasms can linger... beyond their usefulness and cause a lot of pain and stiffness. You may find yourself unable to sit or stand comfortably, and completely unable to go about your day. I have personal experience with this. Though I had helped many patients recover from back spasms and prevent their return, I never really understood how awful they can be until I experienced it myself a couple years ago. I recovered well with acupuncture and I'm so glad I get to continue to share this powerful medicine with you all. If you are suffering from recurring back pain, or a recent injury, don't hesitate to reach out to schedule your consultation! #acupuncture #chinesemedicine #alternativemedicine #acupuncturenyc #cupping #traditionalchinesemedicine #wellness #health #healthylifestyle #physicaltherapy #pain #fitness #painrelief #healthy #rehab #arthritis #injury #physio #recovery #mobility #neckpain #jointpain #inflammation #exercise #workout #physiotherapy #massage #chiropractic #crossfit #backspasm See more

Put a costume on! (And reflect a bit) There is something about putting a costume on and pretending to be someone else that can feel like a great relief. Sometime you just need a break from being "you," ya know? If you get a feeling of relief when you put a costume on, ask yourself what it is that you need a break from. We humans are storytellers, and the ideas we hold about ourselves become stories that we tell ourselves about ourselves. ... I am a procrastinator I can’t get up early; I’m a night person I can’t be brave, I’m a worrier I’m a messy person so I can’t have a tidy apartment What stories do you tell yourself about yourself that are holding you back from growth and joy? BTW - we ALL do this at some point! Fall is a great time to lean-in to letting go. What can you let go of this fall to make room for the next evolution of you?
