Reactive vs pro-active healthcare

The pandemic has accelerated the shift from JUST solution-based healthcare, to a preventative approach of helping people maintain wellness and stay healthy BEFORE illness occurs.

Legend says hundreds of years ago in China, you paid a regular stipend to the doctor to keep you well with acupuncture, herbs & lifestyle guidance - and when you do get sick, the doctor will not get paid until you are healthy again. This portrays the ultimate Preventative model of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

For example, getting regular acupuncture treatments (1x/week, 1x/month, 1x/quarter - depending on the plan you and your practitioner discussed) can help keep your joints, muscles and ligaments supple to prevent injuries while staying active in whichever way you choose.
