Optimize Athletic Performance with Acupuncture
Acupuncture and East Asian Medicine can help increase your strength, endurance, flexibility, and mental stamina. Acupuncture treatment before and after competition reduces the instances of common injuries and helps your body recover quickly after intense exertion. Whether you are a gym buff, weekend warrior, or professional athlete, acupuncture can help you achieve and maintain peak athletic performance.
Recover from Sports Injuries with Acupuncture
A tight, painful body cannot function with optimal strength, endurance, or coordination. By immediately addressing pulled muscles and twisted joints with acupuncture you can heal faster and more completely. Resolving constrictions and rehabilitating muscle groups with acupuncture leads to immediate increases in strength and endurance, improving your ability to participate in all the sports and outdoor activities you love.
Acupuncture for Muscles and Joints
Properly functioning muscles and joints have greater endurance and strength than those that are out of balance. Tight muscles and sore joints are unable to perform at optimal capacity. You may not notice a decrease in strength, but those aches and pains mean that you do not have the strength, power, or endurance that you could.
Using acupuncture and East Asian manual therapies (massage and mobilization) you will see an increase in the strength, flexibility, and endurance of your muscles and joints as pain decreases. Make no mistake, you are not old or arthritic...you are just dealing with an injury.
Who Can Benefit from Acupuncture?
- Golfers and Tennis Players Increase strength, flexibility, and mental focus for greater endurance and a stronger, more accurate serve or drive.
- Cyclists Relieve back and neck pain, and increase endurance for maximum performance and enjoyment.
- Climbers Increase grip strength, flexibility, and concentration for maximum reach and precision.
- Surfers and Fisherman Strengthen your shoulders and back to avoid injury and increase endurance and balance.
Do Not Wait!
The sooner therapy begins the easier it is to rehabilitate an injury. Older injuries take longer to treat and are more difficult to heal completely. But even for those old sports injuries you will often notice improvement after 1 or 2 acupuncture treatments. What is most important is that we work on the area until all imbalance has been resolved. Using acupuncture, both old and new injuries can be resolved so they never come back.
