Whole-Body Recovery in Juneau with Jill Still

Whole-Body Recovery in Juneau with Jill Still

Author: Alaska First Media May 15, 2026 Duration: 13:39

On this episode of Capital Chat, Cliff Dumas talks with Jill Still of Alpine Integrative Acupuncture about the growing role of whole-body medicine in Juneau. Jill explains how acupuncture, compression therapy, and integrative care can help support the body’s natural ability to reset, recover, and move toward better balance.


The conversation explores why rest and recovery are not luxuries, but essential parts of health, performance, and daily life. Jill also walks listeners through the experience of medical-grade compression therapy, including how infrared heat, deep pressure, and vibration technology may help support circulation, relaxation, and nervous system regulation. From athletes training for major goals to everyday people carrying stress, standing all day, or simply needing a reset, this episode offers a thoughtful look at what it means to slow down, recover, and listen to what the body needs next.
