As Covid positive cases are increasing throughout the world and at home, we want to reinforce the importance of working together toward implementing CDC & PPE behaviors to manage the spread of the virus.
Today, Austin is in stage 3, there is a chance the city will go back to stage 4 in the near future. We are closely monitoring the COVID situation and we will act accordingly.
Through this season, we plan on remaining open as an essential business as many of you reported our services as essential throughout the pandemic.
We are taking this opportunity to remind you that your safety and the safety of our employees are of the utmost importance to us. We work daily toward maintaining a safe, relaxing, and soothing environment for you to come rest and heal. Our clinic will continue to have less than 10 individuals at once in a room while applying the CDC and PPE requirements set in place last May 2020, at reopening. For your convenience, at the bottom of this newsletter, are the CDC and PPE requirements currently in place at Acupuncture Together.
We look forward to having you at the clinic!
In gratitude and health,
Dr. Guillaume Vincent
REMINDER: The best way to go through this season is to boost your immune system!
HOW CAN ACUPUNCTURE HELP YOU GET STRONGER?
- Improve digestive system, decrease inflammation
- Getting adequate sleep is essential to our body. It helps us restore and rejuvenate. Sleeping more should allow the immune system to better fight illness. Acupuncture can benefit sleep.
- Supports the cardiovascular system, can help lower blood pressure
- Manage stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD would help the immune system to stay strong
- Support stopping smoking, asthma, allergies and other respiratory issues. COVID-19 attacks the respiratory system, so anyone with damaged lungs would seem vulnerable.
Happy Thanksgiving from our families to yours!
Holidays are going to look very different for some and for others may be very similar to past years. No matter the circumstances, our theme for this holiday season is “do your best with what you got!”. If it is a thanksgiving alone at home, know that we are doing the same and that you are not alone. Great time to read a book, go on a walk, take a nap, and invest in self-care. If it is a Thanksgiving with family and friends yet disturbed by social distancing and PPEs, give yourself a tap on the back, you are doing your best.
We are very grateful to all of you, for your trust and loyalty!
