Sports Acupuncture

Injuries, pain and performance — for every sport

since 1990

Tendinitis, sprains, overuse pain, tension, slow recovery, performance anxiety… sport puts the body to the test. Acupuncture helps relieve pain, speed up recovery and prevent injuries, whatever your sport and level.

What I often treat in athletes

  • Tendinitis and epicondylitis (elbows, shoulders, knees)
  • Sprains, strains and joint stiffness
  • Tension in the neck, back and shoulders
  • Overused wrists, fingers and joints
  • Stress and performance anxiety
  • Recovery, fatigue and injury prevention

Tailored to your sport

Every discipline stresses the body differently. Care is tailored to your activity:

  • Climbing and bouldering — elbows, fingers, wrists, shoulders
  • Running — knees, hips, tendons
  • Cycling — back, neck, knees
  • Racquet sports — elbows, shoulders, wrists
  • Gymnastics and acrobatic sports — wrists, back, flexibility
  • Strength training — recovery, tendons
  • Team sports — sprains, impacts, overtraining

Special attention for climbers

Climbers make up a large part of my athletic clientele. The elbows (epicondylitis), fingers, wrists and shoulders, heavily used in climbing, respond especially well to acupuncture — both as treatment and prevention.

A holistic approach

Beyond the symptom, the whole body is supported: pain, stress, digestion, sleep and energy, for lasting recovery.

For everyone

  • Recreational or competitive athletes
  • Beginners to advanced
  • Injured or for prevention

A practitioner who knows sport from the inside

Before acupuncture, Monique was a competitive gymnast and high-level coach in Canada — four gold medals in 1977. This experience of sport, training and injury informs every treatment.
