Community Acupuncture Clinic With Tova Steiner, LAc
Dates: Friday, November 08, 2024
Location: Arlington
In-Person
During this community clinic patients will choose from one of 2 treatments: one to reduce stress, or one to boost energy. In community acupuncture, many people are treated simultaneously in one large room – this is the way acupuncture is administered in most places in the east. By treating patients in a community setting, more people can be treated in the same amount of time, and costs can be greatly reduced, thus making this type of medicine more accessible to more people.
Yoga Therapy for Your Hamstrings with Amir
Dates: Saturday, November 09, 2024
Location: Arlington
This workshop is ideal for anyone with tight hamstrings, sciatica, or back pain. The focus will be on isolating the backs of the legs and using yoga therapeutic techniques to bring about a greater range of motion and flexibility to the hamstrings, which can decrease any overcompensation made by the spine – often the culprit of hip strain and chronic low back pain. This workshop will be recorded and available for one month following the event.
