If friends and family have been telling you to give acupuncture a try, now might be the perfect time to try something new and see how it works for you. You never know where it takes you!

The truth is that acupuncture isn't related to your belief system.

This is a 3000+ year old science from China that has been proven through not only countless patient experiences, but through modern-day gold standard randomized controlled trials too. And we keep discovering more modern scientific overlap! The just published a piece featuring recent discoveries that draw ground-breaking scientic overlap between the body's interstitium and acupuncture's meridians. Link in bio to read more.

Acupuncture can be extremely supportive for managing seasonal allergy symptoms like sneezing, itchy eyes, throat, and ears, watery eyes, and sinus pressure. 🤧

If your allergies usually persist throughout the season, we recommend regular visits (weekly or bi-weekly) to keep symptoms at bay.

Prenatal massages can offer incredible relief and self-care during pregnancy. We also know they might look and feel a little different than the massages you are used to.

Anytime you book a prenatal massage at Mend, you have options for how to rest *comfortably and safely* on the massage table to protect you & baby.

We use bolsters and wedges to create safe side-lying or back-lying options.

Please refrain from booking until you are 9+ weeks and have had your first prenatal visit with your medical provider. 🤍

Lymphatic massage has been a popular topic on social lately. We asked Mend massage therapist Anya Sharif to tell us more about this technique.

Here's what your massage therapist wishes you knew about lymphatic draining massage:

💫 It's not necessarily for everyone. It's best for chronic veinous insufficiency, injury recovery with stagant blood and lymph flow, or lipedema patients.

💫 If you are a good candidate for this, you will likely need multiple sessions.

💫 You will also need to pair it with additional care at home.
