Westside Acupuncture and Pilates seeks to support you in feeling connected to your own strong foundation — inside and out.
Chinese Medicine meets each person where they are. At Westside, how you FEEL is the best indicator of your health.
We’ve all felt unheard, or misunderstood, when it come to our own care. The holistic health model we utilize at Westside puts you first, because you know when you feel great! And when you don’t. Each part of you is connected to all the rest, whether it’s your back or your sleep or your digestion. You know when all the pieces of your self are working together. And we can help you use all the tools to get there.
Chinese Medicine diagnosis and treatment involves what we do here, in the clinic, and also how you approach all the facets of your life. We seek to help you navigate the twists and turns of life with ease, using a time-tested approach to healing. Self-care is easier and more accessible than you think.
Why we LOVE Pilates at Westside
Pilates is for everyone.
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, cycling, rowers, dancers, hikers, football players, soccer players, basketball players, baseball players, tennis players, 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.
