The majority of these injuries are preventable and treatable by proper training and acupuncture. Acupuncture enables people who participate in all kinds of sports to attain their highest potential by accelerating the body's natural restorative processes. When injury has occurred, acupuncture helps to restore mobility and flexibility to injured muscle tissue, and at the same time reducing recovery time. The stimulation by the needles causes a rise in the levels of endorphins and serotonin, which are the body's natural painkillers. This process allows the meridians to relax and at the same time to open for the Qi to flow through to the muscles, tendon and ligaments to restore health.
Acupuncture therapy increases oxygen in the affected area necessary for growth and repair.
Qi which in turn, accelerates the healing process and stops muscle spasm. Acupuncture therapy will calm the body, restore the Qi and, consequently, healing will take place. But most importantly, individuals with chronic or acute sports injury need to pay attention to proper training, lifestyle, diet and levels of stress. Information regarding specific sports injury care can be gathered from a qualified acupuncturist. In the PRO Club's continued attempt to offer its members a well rounded scope of healthful services, acupunture may be incorporated in to the services offered by the spa following the club expansion.
