STRONG BODIES. BUSY MINDS. PERSONALIZED CARE.

Cindy Dowsett

Training, school, family, changing bodies, and everything in between. Your well-being matters beyond the gym.

How can acupuncture help your performance?

  • Muscle sprains, strains, and tension.
  • Calming the mind for high performance pressures.
  • Period related concerns such as PMS, blood flow, cycle regularity, and period pains.
  • Body dysmorphia and eating disorders

Not sure about acupuncture? I get that. New things can be scary, especially with the word “needles”. I’ll explain everything, answer your questions, and discuss treatment plans tailored to your needs. While sensations vary from person to person, using very fine, one time use, sterile needles, I practice a gentle, Japanese style needling- most patients, children included, fall asleep! I’ve felt myself, and been told it can feel like a dull, heavy pressure, some describe it as a tingling sensation, some points you may not even feel at all. A lot of teenage girls I see who are afraid, end up asking me to take their picture so they can show their friends!

YOUR GAME IS DEMANDING. YOUR CARE SHOULD BE PERSONAL.

Cindy Dowsett

At Springbank Wellness, I offer support to athletes and families with active bodies and busy lives. As a mother local to the sports in our community, and an athlete myself, in my 16 years of practice, I have seen all kinds of sports related injuries. What I also see a lot of, is young female athletes, reaching menarche, and struggling with the first few years of their periods, while also tackling the important foundational years of their sports.

YOU COULD SEE ME FOR ACUPUNCTURE FOR:

  • Muscle tension and ongoing aches.
  • Recovery support alongside appropriate sports care.
  • Stress, tension and relaxation
  • Menstrual health and period-related concerns.
  • Women’s health through perimenopause and menopause.

Worried acupuncture will hurt? I am trained in Japanese style needling, meaning my treatments, while just as effective, are a lot more gentle than traditional Chinese acupuncture. Using very fine, one time use, sterile needles, you may feel a gentle pressure, or heaviness in the acupuncture point. I always communicate with my patients, have them describe what they are feeling, and work with them to make sure they are comfortable. I am always open to questions, and love discussing what I am doing and why I am choosing the points I am choosing as I go when the patient asks.

You don’t have to be an athlete to benefit from individualized care. Book HERE to schedule an initial consult which includes your tailored acupuncture treatment.
