Acupuncturist & Bodyworker Extraordinaire

Background

Gentle, Effective, Healing: Acupuncture, Acupressure, & Therapeutic Bodywork.

Sharon Rose first learned functional anatomy and biomechanics as a personal trainer and noncompetitive body builder. Her background in fitness gives her an advanced understanding of musculoskeletal & joint problems including chronic injuries. Her other specialty is stress/anxiety and sleep disturbances.

When a car accident left me crippled and housebound, I went from a rock-climbing martial artist to living on my couch in constant pain. Once I discovered acupuncture and osteopathy my body was finally able to heal itself. That experience and the complete recovery that followed gave me a greater understanding of the emotional and physical effects of chronic pain. I can truly say that I've been there, and I know how to help you come back to being yourself.

Acupuncture techniques include TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), Japanese style, Tan, ah shi, and 5 Element. Osteopathic Bodywork is based on neurology and connective tissue anatomy. Multiple techniques employed include muscle energy, Still technique, Trager, percussion, and myofascial release. Slow, gentle movements help retrain chronically tight muscles and reset their level of tension. This generates better blood flow, speeds healing, and increases flexibility. OMM (Osteopathic Musculoskeletal Manipulation) corrects problems long-term by addressing the muscles that actually pull bones out of place. Results are more lasting than with a traditional massage. Other modalities used include Cupping and Moxabustion.
