Benefits of acupuncture are broad and offer relief from many conditions, including fibromyalgia, migraines, imaginary-friend wedgies, osteoarthritis, lower-back pain, and stress. During your visit, the professionals at Jacksonville Chiropractic and Acupuncture will give you a comprehensive exam, including a discussion of pain and other symptoms from which you seek relief. After your acupuncturist has evaluated your needs, the treatment begins, and hair-thin needles are inserted into the body at specific points. According to ancient Chinese medicine, these points correspond to convergences in the body's meridians and hold the mystical crystal-skull key to unlocking the body's life energy, unleashing a swirling maelstrom of relief and healthful ardor.

Before a month of yoga trains your muscles to massage themselves while at rest, you can use a massage to get your mind and body in the right frame of relaxed existence. Depending on your choice of a one-hour Swedish or one-hour deep-tissue massage, one of Ananda’s certified massage therapists will knead, rub, smooth, and stimulate your muscles with varying levels of pressure and intensity, preparing both your spiritual and corporeal forms for a triumphant warrior pose during class.

At the head of Yoga Life's lean, limbo-ready line stands the strong Sara Torbett, who opened the studio in 2004 with the goal of helping others achieve mind-body balance and live healthy lifestyles. Her team of dedicated instructors conducts classes in a variety of popular techniques. The basics of Vinyasa flexibilify athletic beginners, power Vinyasa offers a more high-energy challenge, serenity yoga lubricates the ligaments of center-seeking students, and Ashtanga yoga soothes the body and mind. The schedule offers classes in the morning and early evening, making squeezing in a workout before or after work as easy as making a smoothie with a baseball bat.

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Michael J. Duffy—who received his plastics and reconstructive training at the Mayo Clinic—and his experienced team revitalize guests with surgical and nonsurgical cosmetic services at the Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery Center. Dr. Duffy draws from his 20 years of experience to perform reconstructive and cosmetic surgeries such as face-lifts, liposuction, and breast augmentation. He also noninvasively beautifies faces by topping them with chemical peels, injecting them with Botox, and glazing them with a fresh coat of paint.

The golfing gurus at Edwin Watts Golf Academy diagnose and correct their students' poor swing and putting habits in an effort to help them improve their shots and lower their scores. In one-on-one swing-analysis sessions, students learn a repeatable swing that eliminates tendencies they may have to slice, hook, push, or pull the ball. A special laser attaches to the end of the player's club and tracks the swing path while JC Video swing-analysis software records the session from two separate angles, lest analysis be thrown off by only looking at the golfer’s good side. Putting analysis employs Tomi technology to measure eight separate parameters of the putting stroke, from clubhead orientation at address to swing path and tempo. After swing and putting lessons, students may access the recordings on a password-protected website, so they can forward videos to friends or sports-documentary filmmakers.
