Training and physical activity can lead to soreness, micro-injuries, and muscle fatigue. Acupuncture helps by:

• Stimulating blood flow to tired or injured areas

• Reducing inflammation and swelling

• Calming overactive nerves and reducing pain

• Supporting the release of endorphins to aid recovery

• Loosening tight muscles and fascia

This makes acupuncture a valuable part of any post-training or post-injury plan.

Our team regularly supports active patients recovering from:

• Muscle strains and joint sprains

• Overuse injuries like tendinitis or shin splints

• Lower back or shoulder pain

• Tight hamstrings, calves, or IT bands

• Knee and ankle injuries

• Post-match soreness and general fatigue

Whether it’s acute pain or a nagging injury that won’t go away, acupuncture offers a gentle but powerful solution.

Acupuncture doesn’t just help after an injury. Many athletes use it proactively to:

• Improve flexibility and joint function

• Prevent recurring injuries

• Promote better sleep and recovery

• Reduce mental stress before events

• Support overall body balance and energy

It can be part of your long-term wellness routine, keeping your body ready to perform.
