Sports Injuries & Maintenance
At Health Point Clinic our goal is to get you back to doing what you love!
Quick healing time is crucial for an athlete with an injury. Adding acupuncture and/or massage to your healing plan can increase recovery time and help get you back into your sport faster. Acupuncture and/or massage can also be used to strengthen and prevent repeat injuries when patients are asymptomatic. Maintenance is key to keeping you playing your sport. At Health Point Clinic we develop individual maintenance treatment programs to suit each patients requirements. Many professional sports teams keep an acupuncturist on staff; we have experience providing maintenance programs and treating injuries linked to a variety of different athletics from cyclists, footballers, and rugby through to golfers and ballet dancers. 
Your treatment plan
After a thorough medical history and examination procedure treatment needs to address the underlying causes and any exacerbating factors.
We use a unique integration of sports medicine, traditional acupuncture and massage to rapidly release myofascial adhesions, elongate hypertonic muscles and increase blood flow to injured tissues.
