Medically outcome based soft tissue therapy can and does relieve the pain while addressing the cause of the pain.

I have experienced pain for many years, at times debilitating which eventually led to onset depression. After suffering the scare of going to a pain clinic where I walked away with four narcotic prescriptions, a good friend recommended I try acupuncture, specifically Cheyenne at Chi Wellness Center. This week I completed my second week of sessions which I drive from North Carolina for. After the first week, I walked out with tears of happiness. It was the first time in a very long time I had been pain free. Cheyenne is truly gifted and talented in her field. She is very intuitive and insightful

This place is either a scam or a one person operation. My wife purchased a medical massage for me and TWO weeks later, calling daily, I can't get anyone to answer. Driving to the location isn't helpful either .Chi Wellness is no where to be found.
Emails responses are incoherent and useless. We've just given up and will consider it lost money.

Is there a possible 0 stars? If so, I would leave that. I was dealing with sciatica pain and booked a 'medical' massage. I'm no stranger to pain and I have a very high tolerance for it. But BEN was awful!!! This was more like a torture session. I literally yelled at him to STOP. To LESSEN THE PRESSURE. He did not listen and still continued to push as deep as he could on my spine and lower back - and all along areas where I previously had NO PAIN!!! He kept saying, you need to do acupuncture then. Needles - no pain. Massage - pain. He said this many many times during the

My first medical massage was the biggest waste of money and time I have experienced for a while. After filling out forms to detail my areas of pain and massage preferences, the masseuse (an older Asian lady who never introduced herself) proceeded to ignore everything that I said.
Instead of focusing on my lower back, she spent nearly all of my session distractedly rubbing at my neck. When I said that she was hurting me (by pushing directly on spinal disks with her thumb like she was playing a video game) she responded that my neck was abnormal. I was taken aback, since I hadn't heard that before

One of the best massages I have had! I am not local to the area and found Chi Wellness using a Groupon. Mrs. Laio was so knowledgable and caring. I have had very difficult time with my shoulder out of alignment so I scheduled a medical massage. She started treatment and recommended accupuncture. I was able to receive that additional treatment during my appointment at an extremely reasonable rate. My shoulder is almost in complete alignment - I have been seeing chiropractors and other massage therapists for over a year for this issue. I would highly recommend Chi Wellness and plan to continue using

My first ever therapy massage was from here and it was an excellent, and comfortable experience. I was greeted with kindness and professionalism. It is a small office space but also very cozy. The sessions are taken seriously, with a friendly atmosphere. She explained how the session would go and what to expect. I came in for stiffness in my shoulder, lower back, and knee and she was able to assist in all areas. It is rough at first, which she warned me about, but once all the knotting was relaxed it was smooth sailing. The pricing is fair and they offer a lot of options varying in price.

Yan is the brains and muscle of Chi Wellness and you will love her medical (therapeutic) massage. This is not your typical massage (a la Spa Envy) but one given by a kind, professional and knowledgeable human being who always goes out of her way for you. Well worth it, and tailored to your condition(s). Highly recommended!😀

Went to Chi Wellness for treatment on my stiff neck. Neck and shoulders were painful for several months and I started to get headaches. Cheyenne and her staff did a wonderful job of diagnosing my issue and recommending a treatment plan. For me this included "gua sha" and I must admit that I was hesitant to try such an aggressive treatment. But it paid off. I tried other places before and the results were OK, but only temporary. With Cheyenne's plan I am able to sustain my improvement and can now stretch on my own without pain.

I love Chi Wellness! I'm a massage snob and am very picky. If you are looking for medical massage, cupping therapy, reflexology, or acupuncture this is the place for you. If you are looking for a spa massage experience, it may not be for you. Yes they go deep. It can be uncomfortable but "no pain no gain" in my world. I have a lot of tension and knots, so I need deep massage. I go weekly. Love it!

I have been to a few places that offer massages and acupuncture and other holistic healing remedies. I found Chi Wellness by Groupon of all manners. From the first massage to the acupuncture and other methods they use I could tell they had an excellent understanding of their craft. They could identify exactly what ailed me by touch. They honed in on the exact areas that needed treatment, and used some methods I was not familiar with. I actually feel some chronic back issues healing through my visits. I cannot recommend them any higher.

I agree with the other 2 reviewers. Worst massage of my life only I had 2 women work on me. I kept saying it was too rough, but they didn't listen. I was in so much pain I could barely move by the end of it. They were so brutal, I was in pain for a week. I've had many massages in my past. I understand there is some pain involved, especially when I'm particularly tense or tight, but this was brutal. I, too, have a pretty high pain threshold but they had me barely able to breathe. I don't care what kind of Groupon deal they're floating, it's not worth it! Spend

I started seeing Cheyenne Liao a couple of years ago about my shoulder pain. It's been a great experience. Like most people, when we experience something good, we don't have as much motivation to write a good review. I happened to come across the couple of negative reviews about Chi Wellness. Then I realized that although they are valid for the individuals who had the poor experience, yet the reviews do not reflect the true standing of the entire practice.

If you are looking for a concentrated deep tissue / Thai / pressure point type massage then this is the place for you. I enjoy deep tissue and pressure point massages, so this type of massage was not a surprise to me. They provide a MEDICAL massage only, which means they only concentrate on areas of need and do not bother giving a full body massage or oil massage like most people are used to. I have muscle tightness in my back and hips and the masseuse went directly to my areas in need and spent the entire hour massaging a few select areas. It was determined that I only needed a few sessions and

Worst massage of my life. I rarely write yelp reviews, and I completely agree with the previous reviewer. I also bought a groupon for the medical massage, thinking it would help alleviate my back and knee pain. Dr. Chang made the pain much worse as he rolled over both areas with intense pressure and force, despite my discomfort and telling him it was too much. The worst part was my knees... I've never had someone use that much force on injured knees before. I have a high pain threshold and get massages somewhat regularly, but I couldn't wait for this one to be over.

While I seldom take the time to write/post reviews on yelp, in this case I believe it is both warranted and necessary. I recently took advantage of a Groupon to undergo an hour-long medical massage at Chi Wellness. Owing to long-term back issues, strong massages which loosen up muscle and scar tissue have proved helpful as a conservative/complementary means of pain relief. Given that I've always been open-minded about "non-traditional" methods, I figured this would be a great opportunity to try out a new place, close to home. Unfortunately, the end results proved problematic

I have delt with back pain/aches and loss of motion for 15 years after scolosis surgury. I have been working with animals mainly horses for over 12 years which has caused strained muscles and tendonitis. Cheyenne was refered to me by another patient who had a neck tension and was very pleased with the result and service she recived. Cheyenne taylored a massage to my needs and warned me it would take some time to relase the locked back muscles. I have been seeing Cheyenne for two years now, my over all flexability has improved and I am much more relaxed. Highly recommend Chi Wellness to anyone.
