The injury that
won't let you train.
You know when something is off: the pull that won't release, the joint that won't load, the movement you've been modifying for weeks. You've rested and rehabbed. The limitation persists.

Not through it.
Athletes work around an injury faster than anyone. The workaround creates the next problem: hamstring, then hip, then low back.
Two methods targeting athletic dysfunction at every layer.
We treat all four layers of an athletic injury, accelerating recovery beyond what rest and conventional rehab achieve alone.
Accelerates recovery and reduces training-related inflammation
Calms inflammation at the injury site and the guarding that limits range and power. Speeds recovery between training sessions.
Releases the trigger points limiting your performance
Overuse, strain, and compensation produce trigger points that limit strength and invite re-injury. Dry needling releases them and the movement pattern normalizes.
One releases the pattern.
The other keeps it from coming back.
Research confirms acupuncture significantly reduces exercise-induced muscle soreness and accelerates recovery. Releasing trigger points restores normal muscle length and contraction efficiency, reducing reinjury risk.
"As a 40+ year old that continues to wrestle and lift, I have put my body through the ringer. I've gone to other treatments — acupuncture, chiropractic — but nothing has positively impacted my body as much as dry needling. Eugene is very familiar with human anatomy and appreciates the injuries that come from an active lifestyle. I highly recommend him for those looking to stay active or recover from injuries."
Common questions about sports injury treatment.
In most cases, yes. Treatment is designed to restore function, not restrict activity. We’ll tell you if a movement should be modified temporarily, but the goal is to keep you in your program. Many athletes come in before or after training; treatment and training work well in parallel.
Sports massage addresses surface tension; PT builds strength and corrects movement. Both are valuable. Acunatomy adds precision access to the deep trigger points massage can’t reach and PT exercises won’t release. Dry needling releases the knot directly, and acupuncture regulates the nervous system response. For athletes who’ve plateaued, this is usually the missing layer.
Yes, we treat athletes across golf, pickleball, tennis, wrestling, powerlifting, CrossFit, Hyrox, running, mixed martial arts, BJJ, and recreational fitness. Eugene understands sport-specific movement patterns and the demands each places on the body. Treatment is tailored to the sport and the tissues under stress. The goal is full performance, not pain-free baseline.
Not right before. Needling can leave muscles feeling heavy or sore for a day or two, which is not what you want on race day. Keep needling at least several days out from competition and use lighter parts of your training cycle for the deeper work.
As targeted maintenance: releasing the tissues their sport predictably overloads before those areas graduate into injuries. A runner’s calves and glutes, a lifter’s forearms and traps, each sport has its signature hotspots. Treated between blocks, needling restores tissue quality while training load is lower, which is cheaper than treating failure mid-season.
