Lighten Up!Spring is here and it is time to Lighten Up: Body, Mind and Soul. My mantra for the past 2 years has been simplification and every spring I have created a ritual of cleaning out the old and bringing in the new.  But it definitely is not an easy process and I find I get quite attached to my stuff. 
 
Here are some tips to help you Lighten Up this Spring!
 
1) BODY:
SummerWith warmer weather on the way it is time to shed those layers and shed those extra pounds.  Lay off the sugar for the month: cut out sodas, sports drinks, sugary foods, fast foods and processed foods.  If you are really motivated join one of our practitioners, either Dr. Tiffany Binder or Dr. Tim Price for a Spring Cleanse!

2) MIND:
Clear the clutter out of your home.  Take it one room at a time.  As you go through you stuff, ask yourself, "does this item bring beauty and pleasure into my life? Do I use this item on a regular basis?" If the answer is no for both questions, put it in the donation pile.  If you have a larger more expensive item, list it on craigs list for sale.  You would be amazed what you can get for your items, and they haul them away for you!  Doesn't get any easier and it feels great to give your things a new home.

3) SOUL:
Woman Relaxing and ReadingIn our busy lives it is really important to practice extreme self care.  Because one of the most valuable assets you have is your health.  When you have your health it is easy to take for granted and to keep pushing yourself in our fast paced, driven world.  I am here to tell you to turn off the television, kick up your feet, read a great book, take a long bath, get a massage, but treat yourself to something that nurtures your soul.  Take at
least 4 hours every week to do something just for you, if you can take the whole day even better!

What is Tuina Bodywork?

woman with back painTuina comes from ancient China and is a series of pressing, tapping, and kneading that removes blockages along the meridians of the body and stimulates the flow of Qi and blood to promote healing, similar to the principles of Acupuncture.  Tuina uses specific trigger points that the therapists does deep hands on bodywork on specific points.  It is definitely a deep form of bodywork and can sometimes be painful and is great for:
  • Headaches
  • Digestive Issues
  • Chronic Pain (back, hip, shoulder)
In a typical Tuina session, the patient wears loose clothing. After answering some brief questions about the nature and location of the health problem as well as basic questions about general health, allergies and other existing conditions, Dr. Tsai will concentrate on specific acupressure points, energy trigger points, muscles and joints surrounding the affected area.

Don't expect a light, relaxing massage, this therapeutic method goes directly after the problems, sometimes requiring significant pressure.

Treatment sessions last from 30 minutes to over an hour. Patients often return for additional treatments for chronic conditions. As with most "energy-based" treatments, the patient usually feels either relaxed and tired, or surprisingly energized by the treatment and release of pain.
