TCM for Sports Enhancement

Whether you are competing or doing sports for leisure, hitting a plateau is a common yet frustrating occurrence. Apart from personal changes, like adjusting your schedule and routines, TCM is able to help enhance sports performance.

Acupuncture is an effective treatment for various types of sports injury and pain management. Thanks to the new research and testimonials from new-age athletes, acupuncture as a form of natural sports enhancement has gained popularity.

Benefits of Acupuncture for Sports Performance

1. It enhances muscular strength: Acupuncture stimulates muscles to increase blood supply. With sufficient blood flow to the muscles, energy stores are plentiful and provide sufficient energy to attain that extra strength.

2. It reduces Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS): Acupuncture reduces the pain and duration of DOMS so that recovery period is shortened.

3. It hastens muscle rebuilding: Acupuncture speeds up the removal of inflammatory materials from the muscles, thereby hastening the rebuilding process of the muscle fibres.

4. It increases flexibility and prevents joint injuries: Acupuncture allows for more joint movement and reduces injuries caused by unnatural joint movement.

5. It allows proper absorption of nutrients: Acupuncture improves one’s digestive system to allow better nutrient absorption.

The Programme

The sports enhancement programme consists of two parts:

Performance Enhancement

• To identify the area(s) of exercise which can be improved upon
• To identify the limiting factor in breaking through the fitness plateau
• To improve performance through acupuncture and/or tuina for joint or muscle flexibility
• To improve performance through acupuncture and/or medication for stamina/strength limit
• For patients preparing for an event (marathon, fighting matches, competition), TCM can improve muscle durability and prevent injuries

Injury Management

• To determine the cause and origin of pain
• To acknowledge and treat the pain
• To identify major contributing factor of pain and modify exercise routine
