Doctor of Chiropractic Daniel Miller’s chiropractic epiphany came at an early age, when a local doctor deftly swapped the chronic pain in his neck with a fervent desire to master the art of professional spine alignment. The doctor’s stints treating the underprivileged of Fiji has instilled in him a devotion to providing each client with personalized, one-on-one care. Adept at alleviating aches from backs, shoulders, and antennas, Dr. Miller pairs his practiced adjustments with massage therapy from nimble-fingered staffers, who can oscillate between Swedish, deep-tissue, hot-stone, and pregnancy techniques.

Body In Balance Healing Center's clients can build themselves a lifestyle fueled by holistic health from head to toe using the resources available at the center, including therapeutic massage, yoga classes, and alternative spa treatments. Visitors of all skill levels can drop in to open yoga sessions, where they'll either learn or perfect their sun salutations, appeasing the needy star with muscle-fortifying poses and stretches. Massage therapists' kneading techniques aim to release physical and emotional tension, restoring bodies to peak condition, and a menu of face- and body-focused skin services addresses a host of issues with cutting-edge and alternative spa therapies, soothing acne-prone skin with botanicals, banding muscles to prevent age-related drooping, and employing lasers to erase fine lines.

In 1976, educator, musician, and kinesiologist Robin Wes opened The Little Gym based on his new take on physical education. His curriculum emphasized motivating children to achieve instead of pressuring them to win. As a result, The Little Gym became a noncompetitive, positive, nurturing environment where young ones could develop physically, socially, emotionally, and intellectually. Since then, The Little Gyms have sprouted up across the country. The programs and classes aim to help kids develop skills such as rhythm and coordination, and kids camps during winter, spring, and summer breaks prevent children from creating finger paintings that express the existential ennui they feel when school is out of session.
