Testimonials

Greg Frank; NYC Marathon 2004

"Thanks to your help with acupuncture, I really got through this marathon without the debilitating pain I had the prior year. I had no shin pain nor IT Band pain! And I have automatic entry for next year as well."top

Nandini Mathur; Personal Trainer and Marathon Runner

"In September 2003 I was involved in a car accident that resulted in a sprained neck and back. As Program Manager of a Health & Fitness Center, Personal Trainer, Group Exercise instructor and an athlete in training for my second NYC marathon, I could not afford to be injured or in pain for even a minute. The muscles were considerably knotted up and pain medications were not working. I was unable to do any exercise or move freely without pain or discomfort. A colleague of mine referred me to Colleen... After the very first session, I was relieved of all pain in both my neck and back and was shocked at the immediate results. I continued stretching my low back and the results have been long lasting. Additional benefits of the treatments included better quality sleep, more energy and a feeling of overall well-being."top

Ben Prayz; Gymnast

"Acupuncture dramatically improved my performance in gymnastics, leaving me more flexible and limber. My muscles became more at home within themselves and I felt them having to work less hard on the gym floor -- in other words my movements became more fluid. There was an additional unexpected benefit from my treatments with Colleen - my consistent stomach/digestive problems disappeared."top

Sylviane Donnadieu; Personal Trainer

"I first sought acupuncture for a chronic case of Achilles Tendonitis, an overuse injury from years of training. Not only was the swelling reduced and the pain totally gone, but it hasn't come back... Plus, I was able to maintain my level of activity throughout the treatments."top

Sara Sugihara; Dancer, Choreographer and Teacher

"I first sought acupuncture for ankle and knee pain and swelling. Acupuncture rendered what was painful and possible dangerous (my continuing to dance on a worsening injury), into a position to heal... Now I use acupuncture when I have an injury and as a pre-emptive approach to encourage holistic healing of the entire body."

"For kids just starting out, it’s wonderful for them to get introduced to alternative therapies like acupuncture. They’ll soon learn that it’s not only great for the symptomatic treatment, but it has the capacity and side-benefit of treating the whole body... Most dancers and athletes I know consider acupuncture an essential therapy. It’s not adjunct, it’s essential."top
