WHAT IS DRY NEEDLING & HOW CAN IT HELP?
Dry needling is a cutting-edge technique designed to relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve range of motion.
Unlike traditional acupuncture, it is rooted in neuromuscular science and targets trigger points—tight bands of muscle that cause discomfort and limit movement.
With dry needling, you can expect:
- Faster Pain Relief – Helps reset overactive muscles and reduce chronic discomfort.
- Improved Blood Flow – Stimulates healing in injured or tight areas.
- Better Range of Motion – Enhances movement and flexibility for peak performance.
This technique is widely used by athletes, runners, and active individuals to recover quickly and keep performing at their best.

STRUGGLING WITH PAIN THAT JUST WON’T GO AWAY?
Tired of trying endless stretches, massages, and pain meds that only provide temporary relief?
Chronic pain and muscle tightness can hold you back from doing what you love, whether it’s running, lifting, or simply staying active. And in Loveland, there is plenty you can miss out on, whether you’re hiking the Horsetooth Reservoir Trails or participating in the Horsetooth Half Marathon.
Dry needling works by directly targeting the source of the problem—releasing tension and improving your body’s ability to heal itself.
Many of our clients feel relief after just one session, making it an effective and efficient way to get back to pain-free movement.

How Many Miles A Week Should I Run?
When you ask yourself how many miles a week should I run, it’s easy to feel pulled in two directions. On one hand, you want to log enough miles to build endurance and see progress.
On the other, you worry about pushing too hard and risking injury.
The truth is, the answer isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your weekly mileage depends on your fitness level, training goals, and how well your body recovers between runs.
To figure out the right number for you, it helps to look at:
• Your current running base and experience
• The type of race or event you’re training for
• The time you realistically have each week
• How your body feels during and after runs
When you match your mileage to your goals and recovery, you can stay consistent, avoid setbacks, and keep running strong.
