Athletic Recovery & Maintenance
Whether you're lifting, running, training, or performing, your body is constantly adapting — and sometimes overcompensating. Acupuncture helps keep your system balanced and responsive, not just reactive.
By targeting tight muscles, overused patterns, and nervous system dysregulation, acupuncture improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and supports faster recovery between sessions. We use precise, evidence-informed techniques like trigger point release, cupping, and gua sha to break up adhesions, relieve pain, and restore optimal movement.
Treatments aren’t just targeting injuries and overuse. Longevity and maintenance of muscular health are at the forefront of Instinct’s treatment principles. Regular treatment helps reduce downtime, prevent overtraining symptoms, and keep you moving with intention and efficiency.
