Can Acupuncture Boost General Wellbeing?

Acupuncture

General wellbeing can no longer be an afterthought in the world we live in. As we collectively take on more stress and uncertainty in our lives due to events we can’t control, what we used to call “normal” or “good health” is being completely redefined.

At Acubody, we talk about this a lot with our clients and help them to build programs that can address certain ailments, but also boost overall wellbeing so that people feel more resilient and strong in the face of the challenges they face in daily life.

Why Foam Rolling is Not the Same as Myofascial Release Treatment

With new clients, we sometimes get asked about what Myofascial Release is and whether it relates to foam rollers. This is somewhat understandable given the fact that rollers are now a commonplace item in most gyms, fitness centres and households.
