Sports Acupuncture
A treatment tailored for active bodies and athletic recovery. Whether you’re training for an event, dealing with a nagging injury, or just want to keep moving at your best, Sports Acupuncture combines targeted needling with focused muscle therapy
How is it different from standard acupuncture
In a Sports Acupuncture session, we spend more of our time on muscle performance and recovery. While Standard Acupuncture takes a balanced whole-body approach, Sports Acupuncture dedicates a larger portion of your 50 minutes to:
-
Targeted gua sha for specific muscle groups
-
Focused cupping to release deep tension and improve circulation
-
Range-of-motion work to support mobility and flexibility
-
More frequent use of electrostimulation (e-stim) to activate muscles, reduce pain, and accelerate recovery
Who is it for?
-
Athletes in training

People with sports or overuse injuries
-
Gym-goers and active individuals
-
Anyone recovering from muscle strain or tension
