How Moxa Complements Rehab With Gentle Heat

Moxibustion is applied above the skin to bring comfortable warmth to targeted regions and acupuncture points. Within an East Asian framework, this warmth helps move stagnation and support healing resources. Practically, clients often seek moxa to:

• Ease stiffness around tendons and joints
  

• Encourage local circulation and tissue comfort
  

• Reduce the sense of guarding so therapeutic exercise feels more accessible
  

• Calm the nervous system so sleep and recovery improve
  Moxa can be paired with acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, and gentle exercises that your PT or trainer has prescribed.
  
  

What We Treat (and When)

We commonly support Front Range residents recovering from:

• Overuse strains (hamstring, calf, forearm)
  

• Chronic tendon soreness or stiffness
  

• Old ankle sprains that never fully normalized
  

• Nagging hip or low‑back tightness after training
  Important: In the very acute stage (fresh inflammation, pronounced heat/swelling), warming therapies are usually deferred. We’ll assess timing at your Boulder visit and coordinate with your medical or physical therapy team.
  
  

Your First Visit in Boulder

We begin with a detailed assessment of your injury history, training volume, daily ergonomics, and goals (return to climbing, comfortable desk work, smoother runs). You’ll receive a tailored plan outlining when moxa is indicated, suggested frequency, and how we’ll integrate with your existing rehab protocols. Expect a calm session, clear instructions, and practical next steps.

Frequency & Expected Course

For sub‑acute or chronic issues, clients often schedule weekly sessions for 4–8 weeks, then reassess based on pain, range of motion, and function. We measure progress with what matters to you—walking without stiffness, deeper squat comfort, or fewer flare‑ups after rides—to ensure your sessions stay purposeful.
