At her eponymous practice, Jeanne Soleille practices the ancient art of acupuncture to redirect the flow of energy through the body, in turn stimulating organ systems, improving mood, and alleviating stress. For the past 18 years, she’s wielded the hair-thin needless to help all manner of patients find relief from unpleasant ailments or finally stand up to balloon-animal street toughs. Blending millennia-old healing with modern science, she also uses a computerized biofeedback system in some of her sessions to identify disharmony in the body and help plan an effective treatment regimen.

For more than a decade, Dr. Scott Hartter and his staff have straightened spines and instilled positive posture habits thorough chiropractic exams and soothing therapeutic treatments. Dr. Hartter begins each session with an exam to determine the patient's spinal imbalances and number of slinky-substituted vertebrae. He then pops and placates misalignments himself or sends bodies over to his onsite team of licensed massage therapists.

The trained muscle manipulators use Dr. Hartter's exam findings to target troubled areas of the body, soothing sinews over with custom digit work. Sessions also include exercise and stretching suggestions to help to strengthen the weak areas of the body and enable the pursuit of becoming a shot-put champion.

Though she originally planned to become a medical doctor, Kristy Allen found an alternative route to help treat others’ bodily imbalances. Allen received a degree in chiropractic and trained further in the areas of pediatrics and nutrition before starting her practice. At One Life Chiropractic, she employs an array of cutting-edge technology and a certification in the Brimhall technique to treat ailments. This technique focuses on the body's structural integrity, nutrition, and reactions to allergens such as food, pollen, and Fran Drescher's voice. Allen is joined in her healing efforts by Dr. Patricia DeJoy, an experienced chiropractic practitioner with a background in biomedical engineering.

The team pinpoints physical and emotional maladies with neurologic and orthopedic exams, as well as advanced diagnostics through hair analysis, salivary tests, and blood tests. The doctors may recommend low-force spinal adjustments, Erchonia cold-laser therapy, or magnetic-field therapy to treat a range of concerns. An onsite acupuncturist, nutritionist, and massage therapists round out the practice's holistic approach and pickup basketball team.

At Webster Golf Club, not one but two 18-hole championship courses invite golfers to frolic among their twining streams, sandy bunkers, and devious doglegs. The par-72 east course, designed by James Harrison and Ferdinand Garbin, has welcomed cleated feet for more than half a century. Water impediments guard the putting greens on six of its fairways, including the fourth hole, where golfers must set model ships afloat to ferry their orbs across the stream that bars the way to the green. Small, fast greens and an emphasis on iron play challenge golfers as they swing their way through the course. The east course’s younger sibling, built in 1973, is the par-70 west course, where strategically rooted trees spread their leaves to block second shots.

Players looking to hone their skills head over to the Webster Range and Learning Center, which stretches out over 17 acres. The lighted center combines a 4-acre, all-grass tee, a 2,500-square-foot putting green, two practice traps, and four target greens. One hundred hitting stations at the driving range ensure that entire musical casts can bond together while whacking spheres.
