At Circle Wellness, every NYSHIP patient receives a customized care plan — because no two bodies (or pain patterns) are the same. Our goal is to help you feel better, move better, and stay better with consistent, professional care.
Before your session, we take time to understand your symptoms, pain points, medical history, and wellness goals — so your treatment starts with clarity.
Your practitioner designs a therapeutic protocol tailored to your needs, whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, stress, injury recovery, limited mobility, or post-surgical stiffness.
All treatments are performed by licensed professionals trained in evidence-based techniques designed to support long-term relief and functional improvement.
We consider all aspects of your health — physical, mental, and emotional — to create a treatment approach that supports your full well-being.
Your progress is monitored over time. As your body improves, we adjust your sessions to keep you moving forward and help you get the most benefit.
You’ll leave with helpful insights and practical recommendations to extend your results between visits — so you feel better not just today, but long after.

We’ll start with a brief assessment and recommend the right approach based on your goals.
