For decades our culture has experienced the energy and transformation of group exercise. From yoga to running groups and CrossFit, individuals come together to get fit. Could the next wave of group fitness look more like community treatment? We think so, here's why.
For as long as acupuncture has existed, people have used it as a form of treatment in both private and group settings. Some of the obvious advantages of receiving treatment in a group is cost. Group sessions tend to cost at least half that of a private session. Another advantage is that friends or family members can be treated together. Finally, often times group sessions are slightly shorter and can fit easily into your busy routine.
There's also a deeper, more meaningful reason to consider group acupuncture. We already know the effects of exercising in a group can often create amplified results, the same is true for healing in a group setting. You may experience a heighten sense of well-being on both a physical and emotional level. This is because you can benefit from the group's collective energy and sense of support. It can also be comforting to know that you are surrounded by like-minded individuals who have similar health care and wellness priorities.
