Acupuncture is a form of treatment in which sterile, disposable, and thin acupuncture needles are inserted through a person’s skin at certain points on the body to various depths. Different needling techniques are used to treat many conditions and reduce symptoms of many illnesses by harmonizing and balancing the energy, increasing the blood flow, enhancing the release of endorphins, neurotransmitters, and neurohormones. This can, in turn, decrease/alleviate pain and inflammation and boost the body’s immune response.

Clinical Yoga Therapy

Clinical yoga therapy follows a one-on-one format, which utilizes gentle stretching and strengthening exercises (postures), breathing practices, relaxation techniques, and meditation to help restore body/mind balance and promote natural healing. It is suitable for all ages, genders, and all levels of fitness and flexibility.


Shockwave Therapy

In shockwave therapy, acoustic waves, which are similar to ultrasound waves, are transferred to the painful body regions with an applicator, where the acoustic/sound waves are transferred to the tissue causing a mechanical/pressure response at the site. In this case the waves penetrate the tissue, helping break down scar tissue, enhance tissue growth, and increase circulation.


Strength & Conditioning

The strength and mobility session is a combination of multiple methods of stretching, foam rolling, muscle pain release, and movement quality improvement.
