We all wish we could dance like the members of the New York Ballet. However, the pain we could live without. Whether you are a prima ballerina or get your exercise by chasing boys through the park, Acupuncture for Athletes can help. Pick your most painful spots and go to Colleen Canyon (who was just like you before she discovered the joys of acupuncture) for an appointment. If you’re not already a believer, your hour-long consultation will answer any remaining questions and ease you into the service. Her method, highly regarded by various New York City athletes, combines acupuncture with Western massage techniques to target pain. However, be prepared to come back for several more acupuncture treatments to feel the full effects. You can handle it—after all, it’s just a few pricks.
Insider Tip: Come the first Thursday of every month for a $15 half-hour acupuncture session during their Happy Hour. Don’t worry if it’s your first time, they only work with your ears.
