Amazing Athletes Who Use Acupuncture
1. Daniel Kowalski an Olympic Gold,
Silver and Bronze medalist in
swimming, made this video discussing how
acupuncture was integral to maintaining his health while he trained for the
Olympics and afterward. He stated that acupuncture helped him recover from
shoulder injuries, improved his sleep, fended off colds and flu, while
simultaneously enhancing his general well being.
2. Basketball superstar Kobe Bryant took to twitter and posted this picture of him
receiving acupuncture for his leg injury.
3. Just some week ago, Vincenzo Nibali won the
Tour de France while being treated with acupuncture everyday throughout the
arduous 3 week race. Eddy De Smedt L.Ac., a Belgian acupuncturist,
treated all the cyclists on Team Astana. His treatments focused on assisting
the racers with pain relief, quick recovery, and rest.

My favorite twitter pal, Olympic bronze medal winner Dee Dee Trotter, is
a huge advocate for acupuncture. She began using acupuncture when she was
dealing with “a lot of unanswerable muscular issues” and her coach at the time
suggested she try it. She has become such a fan that her hometown acupuncturist
accompanied her to London when she competed in the 2012 Olympic games.
She won the bronze medal in the 400 meter run. Way to go DeeDee!

Ray Emery – The Chicago Blackhawk used acupuncture to help in his long
recovery process after hip surgery in 2010.
