I work with your musculoskeletal system to help you feel, move, and look better through a blend of acupuncture, massage, and weightlifting.
Muscles, tendons, and fascia all respond well to acupuncture, massage, and weight training but in very different ways. With these three approaches, we can improve the health of your muscular system and its connection to your nervous system.
Deeply relaxing muscles through acupuncture and massage allows them to contract more fully. Conversely, deeply contracting muscles during lifting helps them relax more fully.
Though Chinese Medicine is known as being holistic, many famous Chinese medicine practitioners focused on a specific pathway or organ system, believing that strengthening one part of the body could positively impact the whole.
I believe that by improving the muscular system, we also support digestion, energy regulation, libido, cognition, and overall vitality. Keeping my practice holistic and in line with TCM tradition, I use the musculoskeletal system as my primary gateway to better health for my clients.
Drawing from my experience in both Eastern and Western forms of healing—including orthopedic and traditional acupuncture, various forms of manual therapy, and strength coaching—I offer treatment that meets you where you are, whether your primary goal is pain relief, performance, or feeling and looking your best.
