Orthopedics / Musculoskeletal Health
As most physically active people know, it is not unusual to stress or damage muscles. Maybe you didn't stretch properly before leaving home? Perhaps you started your workout when you were fatigued?
Beyond the accidental injury, or the aches and stiffness that occur in everyday life, sometimes pain just "shows up" after a long day at work!
Most pain resolves on its own, but sometimes injuries have a way of hanging on.
Clinical studies have proven that Acupuncture treatment decreases healing time, strengthens injured areas, and works to prevent reoccurrence.

Fitness Support for the Beginning Athlete
Starting a new fitness program is both exciting and challenging.
We suggest coming in for a basic assessment and treatment, before starting in with any new plan.
This Includes:
Musculoskeletal & Internal System Assessments
-
Range of Motion, Flexibility, Gait, Pulse Rate
Dietary & Lifestyle Recommendations
-
Multi-level Nutritional Planning so that your diet choices include adequate and appropriate "fuel" for your new workout.
Sleep Regulation & Stress Reduction
-
Treatment to promote rest, sleep and deep relaxation.
-
All three are physically necessary so that your muscles can repair, rebuild and strengthen after exercising.
Treatment of Chronic or Intermittent Injuries
-
It is best to identify and treat potential problems early on.
-
An injured body can develop compensatory physical habits, causing the interruption of a new program.
Professional Athlete: Preparation & Recovery
Endurance, flexibility & recovery are the focus of our Professional Athlete treatments.
Our goal is to keep you injury free and strong as you progress through your sport's season or towards a specific event, helping you gain that extra edge in competition.
Muscle / Tendon Flexibility
-
Protection from injury and management of chronic conditions.
Endurance / Prevention of "Burn Out"
-
A common result of over-training in the face of competition. Can also result from mid-season fatigue.
Balance & Recovery
-
A comfortable, gradual, and measured recuperation from your activity is essential. It contributes to longevity both in your sport, and to the maintenance of "quality of life" off the field and during the off-season.
Performance
-
Training for that "extra step" by nourishing the body and building core-strength helps ensure consistency throughout the season or during an event.
Mental Focus / Anxiety Reduction
-
To stay at the top of your game, it is crucial to maintain focus and emotional balance - both during training and throughout competition.
