TCM and Athletic Enhancement

AcupunctureAcupuncture and its related modalities have a long and successful history helping athletes get an edge. Regardless of whether it is recovering from a sports injury or simply trying to get into peak physical performance; Traditional Chinese Medicine can help. In fact, major players in the world's sports teams like Tony Richardson of the New York Jets utilize acupuncture to keep them playing at the top of their game.

Various sports and athletic endeavors require certain qualities. Bilateral sports like golf, tennis, even bowling can over develop the body on one side, where as running, biking, or more intense sports might develop the body evenly but require intense trainings that causes imbalance. Typically, when Athlete's are exercising at such a level – there is a physical price to pay. In TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine); such intensity begins to wear down on an athlete's system as a whole. Eventually, this causes loss in performance and functionality. TCM addresses these deficiencies and restores the athlete to peak performance.

Acupuncture not only helps restore the body when it's overused or injured, it enhances a healthy bodies peak performance. In the past – athletes have turned to effective but dangerous substances to get an edge. This is where Acupuncture and the Chinese Medicine truly stand out – it is safe and effective and offers a more sustainable healthy edge.

In a 2009 literature review published in the Journal of Tub Na and Acupuncture science, studies have shown that Acupuncture and/or Moxibustion can increase athletic endurance, reduce lactic acid build up, reduces exercise induced tissue damage, and increase muscle recovery time. Essentially, TCM provides relief for the wear and tear that overused muscles and joints have from repetitive training. Furthermore, in pre competition studies acupuncture has been effective in reducing anxiety while increasing athletic awareness and body control.
