Description
Written by widely respected acupuncture expert Yun-tao Ma, PhD, LAc, Biomedical Acupuncture for Sports and Trauma Rehabilitation shows techniques that will enhance athletic performance, accelerate recovery after intensive workouts, and speed trauma rehabilitation
after injuries or surgeries. Evidence-based research is used to support the best and most effective techniques, with over 100 illustrations
showing anatomy, injury, and clinical procedures. Unlike many other acupuncture books, this book uses a Western approach to make it easier
to understand rationales, master techniques, and integrate biomedical acupuncture into your practice.
