Dumbo Specials: Health and Body Edition

It’s cold and the economy has affected our psyche, but with the new Obama administration in place, everyone is hoping for positive change (yes, even the Republicans, right?). We can take charge of our own positivity by volunteering, being active in our community, or taking care of our mind/body. At least that’s what the Dumbo-based health/body related services are here for. And since they’re right here in our neighborhood, it’s a convenient way to recharge and get fit.

  • The Wellness Lounge (133 Water Street) – We profiled The Wellness Lounge last month, and they’ve got a new winter “Happy Hour Specials” on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at 2-7pm. For DumboNYC readers, call them (718-875-1514) to get a list of their unadvertised specials. For example, get $20 off any 1 hour massage on Tuesdays and Fridays from 2-7pm until end of February, 2009.
  • Sencha Wellness Center (147 Front Street, Suite 406) – This appointment-only center offers holistic ‘community style’ accupuncture to de-stress and address your health problems such as migranes, pain, anxiety, and insomnia. They have an array of services that includes shiatsu massage, hot rock, aromatherapy, and others. The community style schedule is expanding hours from 11am-2pm on Wednesdays and starting Feb 2, from 5:30-8pm on Monday evenings. Call 917-586-6626 for an appointment.
