Until now, sports medicine has been highly influenced by the MDs who treat injury so we often follow suit as acupuncturists. Functional Acupuncture is always looking at the whole picture. We can treat more than just the injury. We can look up the chain or into the past to find healthy muscles to optimize and improve sports performance and avoid injury.    Learn more about Functional Acupuncture with my Online Courses on Podia: https://richardhazel.podia.com

I very likely resolved two cases of hand tingling and numbness in 1 or 2 sessions.   NTOS and some other interesting trigger points.   CORRECTION: I was speaking off the cuff when I called the Lower Trapezius an Downward Rotator. It is, of course, an Upward Rotator. So much for the theory of Lower Trapzius increasing compression with the help of Pec Minor and Levator Scap! Sorry about that.     The new Peripheral Nerve Entrapment course is on Podia with a discount until the end of July. Use the code JULY100 at checkout. It's the most extensive course I've taught on PNEs https://richardhazel.podia.com/peripheral-nerve-entrapments
