Sports Acupuncture
Sports Acupuncture for Athletic Performance
Sports medicine acupuncture enhances stamina and performance by targeting key muscle groups before your big race or game day.
Perfect for runners, cyclists, tennis players, soccer players, and athletes of all kinds, 30-minute athletic performance acupuncture treatments focus on activating inhibited muscles and releasing tight ones to optimize performance and prevent injury.
Acupuncture needles are retained for short periods of time. Electro-acupuncture is frequently used to enhance treatment effects. The 30-minute athletic performance treatment strategically focuses on the core, glutes, and hips.
-
Core
Turning on abdominal muscles to engage the core for strength, control, and balance
-
Glutes
Activating glute muscles to stabilize the pelvis and improve stride and leg power
-
Hips
Releasing the hip flexors, maximizing smooth leg extension
Performance Enhancement and Injury Prevention
30-minute athletic performance acupuncture sessions can get you in peak performance shape in the days leading up to, or on the day of, your next race, game, or event. They can also help prevent injury during training–because an engaged core means improved biomechanics throughout your workouts.
