Although we are all destined to age and injuries are commonplace in our society (especially in a ski town such as Aspen), it does NOT necessarily mean that we are taking “painful steps into an age-old reality of decrepitude” as the article states. As I listened to the writer describe a tumultuous journey of immobility, painful physical therapy, emotional agony, daily stress and a very long recovery period following an ACL injury, I realized that this society is missing a HUGE piece of information. There is a 5000 year old medicine called Acupuncture and Chinese medicine which has been scientifically proven to speed up the process of healing, increase circulation, help tissue regeneration, decrease inflammation, reduce pain and balance the emotions.

Acupuncture is a medical modality, originating from China, with a 5000 year old history. It is a method of inserting sterile, disposable needles into specific acupuncture points to encourage the body to promote its own natural healing ability and to improve overall bodily function. Many people have only heard about Acupuncture for pain management however, Chinese medicine is a complete and comprehensive medical system with the ability to diagnose, treat, and most importantly prevent disease. Acupuncturists are trained in Chinese Medicine as well as Western Medicine, allowing for these practitioners to work closely with Medical Doctors and within the western diagnostic system. The treatment differs in that Chinese Medicine practitioners are trained to get to the root of disease by treating with herbal formulas and natural remedies to promote the body’s own healing ability.

The Aspen Club & Spa would like to challenge you to step up your fitness routine. If you are currently working out three days a week, why not challenge yourself to do four days a week? If you have been struggling to get into the gym, why not challenge yourself to come in two days a week. It is all up to you and what you would like to do for yourself. Why not put a financial challenge to it. If you miss a workout, donate to a charity. Challenge your friends to step it up!

In Aspen, it always pays to be connected. We were recently invited to The Aspen Chamber Resort Association’s,(ACRA) quarterly networking event. Nobody can out network Aspen Spin, so we made the scene. Who knew that a business-to business mixer could be so much fun? Apparently, ACRA did.

Garnish Cafe
The Garnish Café is located inside the Aspen Club. No, you don’t have to be a member and don’t worry about parking because there is plenty of free parking! We were met by Clark Church the Chef and Owner of Garnish Café. I can’t remember the last café I ate at in Aspen that I had contact with and was served by the owner of the place. If you are looking for a healthy place to eat, this is it. There were many options for a vegetarian and others who want to eat right. The portions are perfect with lots of vegetables. I had the Asian salad (Napa Cabbage, Julienne of Carrots, Edamame, Water Chestnuts, Toasted Almonds, Orange Segments, Sesame Vinaigrette $10), which I thoroughly enjoyed! I liked the crunchy element the water chestnuts and toasted almonds added to the salad. I also tried a small serving of “Church’s Chowder”, which was delicious. The Garnish Café is a serene restaurant that has great service, food, and plenty of parking. All of those things are becoming harder to find in Aspen. Served by the chef and in and out without a parking ticket!
