You can schedule that appointment by calling (404) 329 -2222 AFTER you get registered as I explained in step 1. Step 3

Did You Know?
Acupuncture can improve your squat form.
Everyone knows or has heard that Acupuncture relieves pain. However, did you know it can enhance performance in the gym?
One example is the positive effect of a specific type of Acupuncture, motor point Acupuncture, on ankle mobility and hence, squat form.
How does this kind of Acupuncture improve ankle mobility?
If the plantar flexor muscles in the calf are tight, and/or the dorsiflexor calf muscles are weak, then a person will have great difficulty with dorsiflexion of the foot, which is critical to proper ankle mobility during a squat.
Motor point Acupuncture provides non-noxious stimulation to muscles, releasing tight muscles and activating weak ones.
In brief, motor point Acupuncture restores balance to muscles and restores proper function.
This Acupuncture technique thus is a great asset to anyone in the gym who wants to improve their ability to perform a squat with a safe, productive form.
What to expect during your acupuncture treatment
- Relaxation is key: Settle in for a calming 30-60 minute session where fine needles are gently inserted at specific points based on your individual needs.
- Minimal discomfort: You may feel a slight, momentary sensation during needle insertion, followed by a wave of deep relaxation.
- Personalized care: We tailor each treatment plan to your unique concerns and goals, ensuring a safe and effective experience.
After your acupuncture treatment
- You may feel relaxed or energized. Remember, individual responses vary. If symptoms don't improve within a few weeks, discuss it with your practitioner.
