CHI Worcester
What We Believe
• At CHI, we believe that disease prevention is treating the source.
• Stress, be it physical or mental, leads to inflammation.
• Inflammation is one of the leading causes of disease processes.
• Unchecked, individual stress has a profoundly negative impact on the mental and physical well being of our entire community.
• Urban communities like Worcester, live among a myriad of stressors.
• They are woefully underserved and underfunded in their healthcare options.
• CHI strives to move beyond the usual lip-service and provide a safe and peaceful center with Worcester’s health and wellbeing at heart.
What CHI Would Offer Worcester
• Our multifaceted approach will include manual therapies, movement therapies, hydrotherapies, and art therapies.
• Our Manual Therapies team is a collection of highly skilled practitioners of Eastern and Western medicines. • The team, under the direction of CMO Dr. Uma Dhanabalan, will include the area’s best Physical Therapists, Massage Therapists, Acupuncturists, Personal Trainers, Herbalists, and Ayurvedic medicine practitioners.
• This hands-on, cohesive team will be the health community to serve Worcester’s community.
• CHI’s Movement Therapy Department would provide Yoga and Dance Therapy
• Movement, exercise, flexibility, and good old-fashioned sweat have long been proven to be the key to long-term health and a vehicle to accessing the higher mind.
• Be it a motivator for artistic creation, or inspiration to build a small business, our ultimate goal is the same.
• Form a health community for community health. We will work together, sweat together, create together, and live better together.
What CHI Would Offer Worcester
• Hydrotherapy has been a cornerstone of every civilization’s healthcare system dating back to before the ancient Greeks.
