Physical activities need the support of a proper functioning body.
The first priority is to maintain a proper functioning body. As TCM practitioner, it is believed we have something different and special to offer to help. If you would like to know more about and get benefits from these approaches of life style, nutrition and sustainability management. Please make an appointment.
The second priority is to address any concerns of not normal feelings, and emerging annoying evolving discomforts. Such feelings and discomforts can be seen as signals from within your body to notify you of some problems. Ignoring or masking the problems would most likely disadvantage you in terms of performance and cost as well as time required to resolve the problem. Our TCM practitioners’ approaches provide natural and holistic options that often work in a comprehensive way. An example, a fit and well-built loving sport teenager experiences tight and pain in arches, tight muscles, stiff neck, and thinking not as sharp and clear as could normally be. Having stretches, exercises and even massage do not help much. After an acupuncture treatment plus 3 packs herbs to warn the interior, move Qi, nourish Blood and sinews, such issues resolved and back to normal.
The third priority is to help the body to recover as good as possible after injury or surgery. Apart from all the management routines you do within Western Medicine healthcare system (including but no limit to osteopath, chiropractic treatment, physiotherapy and remedial massage), our approaches are based on TCM and are also available for you to choose from. In our TCM toolbox, there tools to warm (with moxibustion and or warming herbs, etc), to clear heat (to settle inflammation with acupuncture and/or herbs), to reconnect, to communicate, to balance (acupuncture), to resolve swelling (acupuncture and/or herbs), to resolve blood stasis (with herbs and/or acupuncture), to recover / regenerate (with herbs and/or acupuncture).
Through our observation, there are some people tend to focus on keeping the muscles in good working condition; while most other people tend to soldier on and wish and wait for the problem to disappear when they feel muscle problems.
The lesson is clear: while there is a muscle problem (say too tight, pain), your performance is suffering, at the same time increasing the risk of injury; if the problem persists, it will likely get worse if you soldier on; the problem got complicated due to ignorance of all sorts, and become harder to solve thus cost a lot more money and time to resolve.
For people who focus on keeping the muscles in good working condition, the experience and knowledge of our TCM practitioner could be not only helpful but also supplementing the Western style of approaches. In this context, Chinese herbal medicine often used in cleansing, in improving supplies by facilitating circulation and enriching Xue (血 Blood); in supporting the essential energy of the Spleen which is an Zhang ( 臟organ) that controls muscles. The benefits of such comprehensive approach is available for people to choose. And it is convenient, easy to use, and all natural.
For people who feel muscle and soft tissue problems; the earlier you come for treatment, the better the outcome in general. The TCM wholistic approach not only treat the local specific issue but also help to balance and support the body system.
For people who is injured in sports or physical activity, TCM herbal formula could be used internally or externally to speed up healing process.
Look after the body and muscles well so that the body and muscles can perform well for you.
