The running season is upon us with exciting half and full marathons, 5 and 10 k races throughout the Bay Area. Acupuncture is not just for pain or injury, although it is super effective in those cases. With regular acupuncture, proper training, nutrition and self-care, your running season can be pain and injury free.
Acupuncture is great for post-workout
recovery and post-race recovery.
Your overall health and performance will be strengthened by using acupuncture to balance and boost your energy. Acupuncture's stress lowering and sleep enhancing benefits will contribute to injury-free peak performance.
Runner's must have strong immune systems and acupuncture supports and strengthens your immune system to prevent the "runner's cold" that often sets in during an intense or rainy/cold training period.
Runners must have strong and balanced muscles to prevent excess stress on the more structural body systems such as bones, cartilage, tendons and ligaments. Acupuncture balances and nourishes your muscles, increases blood circulation, speeds recovery from long runs and nourishes the whole runner's body.
