People always ask me if I needle myself and the answer is Yes! If I am in pain, I always give it a try. That being said, I much prefer the expertise of a trained professional when it comes to healing sessions. It takes the pressure off; having someone assess you and strategize a protocol. It's also waaaay more effective.

I hurt my knee with inactivity. After seeing a physical therapist for chronic knee pain, I let some of my exercises lapse while I was getting over a cold. Many of the muscles that I had worked to strengthen like my glutes and my quads got a little weak. Without the support of these big stabilizing muscles, my knee joint got a little stressed, and bam, I am back to chronic pain.

Fear not, my PT left me with simple exercises to gently start the process of healing again. I absolutely love PT and when combined with inflammation reducing treatments like acupuncture and healthy diet, a return to physical activity is possible. Exercise is one of the main components of healthy aging, and as an acupuncturist I want to demystify any fears around injuries being a life sentence. An injury is a sign that your body needs more support. You need to be strong enough to exercise, and once you find that strength you can run and jump and lift heavy things!
