Sports Recovery Acupuncture

Written By Holly Gosnell

What Sports Recovery Acupuncture Treats:

  • Muscle soreness and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS)

  • Sports injuries (strains, sprains, tendonitis, runner's knee)

  • Chronic overuse injuries (IT band syndrome, shin splints, tennis elbow)

  • Pre-competition preparation and post-event recovery

  • Inflammation and joint pain

  • Injury prevention and performance optimization

How It Works:

Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture stimulates blood flow to injured or fatigued muscles, reduces lactic acid build-up, and promotes natural healing. By targeting specific acupuncture points, we release muscle tension, improve range of motion, and support your body's recovery between training sessions.

Sessions are tailored to your sport, training schedule, and specific concerns - whether you're a weekend warrior or competitive athlete in Carlton, Melbourne.

Ideal for:

  • Runners and marathon trainers

  • Cyclists and triathletes

  • CrossFit and strength training athletes

  • Yoga and Pilates practitioners

  • Team sports players (AFL, soccer, netball, basketball)

  • Anyone with an active lifestyle seeking faster recovery
