Total Reset Treatment

Have you been craving a retreat? An opportunity to get away? This 2 1/2 hour service from Wander Well Acupuncture in Lexington, MA offers people the opportunity to combine a variety of modalities to reset the nervous system and melt away tension.

Your journey begins with a Traditional Japanese Style Acupuncture session and full health history review. Needles are inserted into specific points that help bring the body back into balance. While your body begins to rest, massage is applied to the upper back, neck and shoulders with special herb infused ointments. Needles are removed and the manual therapy continues with the arms and legs. After turning onto your belly, needles or cups are applied to tense areas to continue the healing process. Once the back of the body has been soothed with acupuncture and massage, recipients are turned over to receive a combination of Reiki and Cranial Sacral Therapy that creates a relaxation response to further calm and reset the nervous system.

A Total Reset for body, mind, and spirit!
