At Westside we offer acupuncture “Treat the Person, not the disease.” — Chinese Medicine proverb Treatment entails viewing your current problems or progress in light of body, mind, spirit, and environment. Using a combination of different modalities enables your practitioner to help you feel comfortable and supported as you heal and grow. Whether you love the quiet calm of the acupuncture space, or the delicious movement of cupping, or the long-term benefits of herbal medicine, or the immune support of essential oils, we can help you to find an effective therapy that nourishes your whole person. And Pilates Pilates makes us feel stronger and more connected to our bodies. We believe it's not about how we “look”, it's about how we feel. Building our core foundation allows us to minimize pain and injury, to help prevent falls, to pick up our kids, to do gardening, to do housework – even to reach away from our body to take an item from the top shelf. A strong core helps us feel stronger and more capable while training for fitness, sports or competitive goals (running, biking, boating, etc.). By keeping our spine flexible and our mind connected, Pilates also keeps us feeling young and being active. With fitness grounded in improved core strength, it teaches us to breathe through the stressors of life. It's better than a therapy session! Today’s culture is about easy and instant gratification: people just tend to workout at home following a video… Since it's quite easy to do Pilates incorrectly without feeling improvement at its deepest level, we believe that our hands-on instruction is invaluable for teaching you how to get deeper and more connected to your core foundation.
