Return to an active life safely and naturally.
Regain Your Function

What Is Sports & Recovery Medicine?
Sports and recovery medicine focuses on helping patients:
Improve performance
Restore function
Recover from injury, and
Prevent future injury
Nothing makes us feel more alive than being active. Imagine sprinting up the stairs, lifting up your child or grandchild, or taking a hike on a gorgeous summer day. These are regular activities many people take for granted.
But for some, activity has been a luxury rather than a right.
Whether you’re recovering from an injury or returning to day-to-day life after a long illness – we can help you get back to a full, active life – safely and naturally.
At Holistic Healing Arts, sports and recovery medicine is completely tailored to your individual needs. We can help you at any life stage or level of performance. Sports and recovery medicine is not just for the competitive athlete!
Sports & Recovery Medicine may be right for you if:
You want to regain your ability to be active after prolonged illness.
You’ve lost strength, stamina, or muscle mass.
You’ve experienced sports injuries.
You have pain from everyday use or overuse.
You have pain from involvement in sports or other exercise.
You have tight muscles or loss of flexibility.
You’ve experienced weight loss after illness or injury.
You’re trying to meet exercise-related goals.
You’d like to improve your athletic performance.
What Happens To Your Body After Prolonged Injury or Illness?
When you’re forced to be inactive for long periods of time, many things happen in your body:
You lose muscle strength and endurance.
Your bones may get weaker as they lose some of their minerals.
You lose aerobic capacity, or how efficiently your body uses oxygen.
Your blood volume may decrease, leading to lightheadedness and intolerance to exercise.
The number of mitochondria in your cells is reduced.
The level of lactate you can handle is reduced.
You lose some ability to oxidize fat stores.
Your body may have a harder time breaking down fats and sugars for energy.
Because so many processes in your body have been affected, returning to activity too quickly or too strenuously could have a lot of negative effects on your health:
You could risk a relapse of your illness.
You could aggravate your injury.
You could injure yourself in the same place, or in a different place.
Treatment Tools We Use
Nutritional Therapies
We use a variety of supplements to help improve mitochondrial function and muscle recovery with a focus on restoration and optimization.
Injection therapies
We use specific, advanced injection techniques to help manage pain, reduce scar tissue, and repair and regenerate damaged tissues.
Peptide therapies
Peptides are short chains of amino acids – your body’s basic building blocks. Peptide therapies regenerate tissue and speed up the healing.
IV therapy
Various IV therapies help replace vital nutrients and electrolytes that may have been depleted during illness or injury.
Specific dietary interventions
If weight loss or weight gain is one of your goals, we assist you in identifying the best dietary plan for you.
At-home programs
We design an individualized activity program to help you regain lost flexibility, strength, and function.
