Tri Acupuncture
Tri Acupuncture is a wellness initiative specifically for triathletes. If you are new to the sport of triathlon or a seasoned veteran, acupuncture and herbal medicine can help you reach your goals: optimize training efforts, speed post race recovery or from injury, maintain health and balance.

The TCM Difference
Acupuncture is one type of treatment used by practitioners of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). Practitioners of TCM, when treating patients, consider the whole person, not just one isolated symptom as the myriad of symptoms experienced reveal patterns of disharmony. Although treatment focuses on a chief complaint, the whole being must be considered in order to develop the most appropriate course of treatment. Response to any form of treatment is unique to your body – individual results will vary.
Many people observe a range of benefits from acupuncture treatment. Some frequent observations/comment are:
- increased energy
- improved focus and clarity of mind
- enhanced feeling of well being
- relief from stress and anxiety
The effectiveness of acupuncture in treating pain, however, is so acclaimed, the US Military is now training their doctors in this practice of Battlefield Acupuncture for use in combat and frontline hospitals.

The Natural Choice
Most triathletes continue training and racing while recovering from injuries, or managing fatigue and the aches and pains associated with the sport. Since acupuncture does not pose the health risks like those associated with endurance athletes taking certain types of pain medications, acupuncture is clearly the safe and natural choice for athletes; treatments can continue through all phases of training and even before/after races.
