Chinese Medicine is a perfect modality to support body, mind and spirit for serious competitors. Jenny loves helping athletes achieve their personal best.
Athletes are assessed individually. Jenny will draw from many modalities to craft a treatment protocol, including: traditional acupuncture, electroacupuncture, dry needling, motor point acupuncture, trigger point acupuncture, gua sha therapy, cupping therapy, tui na massage, dietary therapy and herbal medicine. Patients may be given corrective exercises as part of their treatment program.
