More important, AIS provides functional and physiological restoration of superficial and deep fascia planes. Using a two-second stretch has proven to be the key in avoiding reflexive contraction of the antagonistic muscle. Without activating muscle-group contraction, restoration of full range of motion and flexibility can be achieved successfully. $40– $70/hour depending on length of appointment, $40/30 minutes; information and scheduling: 206.839.4780, wellness@wac.net; by appointment only Intro pack special: $189 for three sessions Acupuncture The National Institutes of Health recognizes acupuncture as effective in treating more than 40 conditions. Back pain, neck pain, sciatica, migraines, asthma, and colitis are a few commonly treated illnesses. Treatments reduce pain and increase the circulation of qi to create optimal health, and they build and restore the body. Acupuncture is great for reducing stress and regaining a sense of balance and tranquility. See facial rejuvenation and fire cupping, below, for additional details.
