Sports Medicine

I have been going to Holly for 2+ years now. I started as I needed help with planter fasciitis and Achilles issues due to running marathons. Since then I have become an Amateur Ultra Marathon runner in the USA and Europe. I attribute my ability to do these long races due to maintenance work with Holly over the years. When I have issues and flare ups she always accommodates for me to come in so she can work her “magic”! Literally as she has brought me from the brink of not starting a race the next day to finishing! In short I totally recommend her not only for immediate needs but more importantly long term maintenance on your body to avoid major issues! Just recently she prepped me for my longest run in the Alps in Italy! Thank!!

Holly has been a life saver for me! I am a runner and tri athlete whose life really would not be the same if I could not participate in these activities and the community that means the world to me. Unfortunately, after many years in labor construction, coupled with running a marathon a week for a year for charity , I found my self unable to run with out extreme hip and low back pain. Working with Holly I am back in my feet again. Her knowledge is right on point and my pain has disapated rapidly bringing me back to the joy of running, with the people I love!

Holly Green has been the answer to my running prayers!! I had been struggling with hip and back issues for 2 years which prevented me from running the way I was used to. PT, cortisone and pain injections were “bandaids” but my progress was slow and frustrating. I thought my running days were over. And as someone who started running after being diagnosed with MS, I had to find a way to keep putting one foot in front of the other. Then I met Holly….. acupuncture is a treatment I had never tried nor did I understand, but I was desperate. I started going every week, then every 2, then once a month and now I go every 6 weeks for maintenance. I am a true believer in acupuncture and especially in Holly! I am back to running half marathons free from pain! She is an amazing practitioner!!

From the moment I walked in, the staff at AcuSportsTherapy made me feel welcomed and valued. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and exuded professionalism. Moreover, Holly, at AcuSportsTherapy takes the time to understand my specific concerns before each session and creates a personalized treatment plan to address my discomfort. The acupuncture and sports therapy sessions were not only effective but also surprisingly relaxing. I left each session feeling rejuvenated and noticed a significant improvement in my overall I am grateful for the positive impact Holly has had on my well-being and highly recommend her services to anyone in need of expert care.

On April 20, 2011 at 11:30 pm, I was placed into the neurological critical care unit at NYC Medical Center. I had just gone through 10 hours of neurosurgery to remove a brain tumor from the right side of my head. The tumor measured about 1 1/4 inch and was completely wrapped around my 7th cranial nerve. In order to completely remove it, surgeons has to forcibly manipulate my 7th nerve (facial nerve) leaving it in a severe state of trauma. The right side of my face was paralyzed and I could not blink or smile. The lip and eye had sagged and the appearance was identical to Bells Palsy. I wasn’t feeling very good or looking my best. After 4 months of being patient, daily facial exercises and vitamin therapy I sought acupuncture and Holly started treatment. Its been two months since my first visit with Holly and now muscle tone has returned & eye and lip are almost back to normal position. Most importantly, for the first time since April 20th, I have some movement of my entire face. I give Holly 100% credit for my progress, her dedication to assist me, personalized treatment plan and her knowledge of acupuncture are greatly appreciated.

For the last two years, I’ve been suffering from nerve damage after a car accident that caused extreme itching on some of my fingers. I tried every cream, lotion, steroid, and medication recommended by my dermatologist and neurologist. None of the treatments worked. Finally, after several of my friends recommended I get acupuncture, I decided to give it a try, despite my strong dislike & fear of needles. To my amazement, after only a few sessions of acupuncture with Holly, I’m finally starting to get better! I wish I had tried this two years ago!

Both my husband and I have been seeing Holly Green for acupuncture for a variety of issues. She has been able to help relieve my symptoms of everything from headaches to menstrual cramps. She is knowledgeable as well as caring. I always leave a session feeling relieved and energized.

I had been having headaches for years and treating them with prescriptions and over the counter pain relievers. Somebody suggested I try an acupuncturist and recommended Holly Green to me and my wife. After the first visit, I began noticing a decrease in the amount and severity of the headaches. Holly is a caring and pleasant person who has definitely made a difference.

Holly Green has consistently helped reduced the time I’ve lost to sports injuries. Her integrated use of acupuncture, massage therapy, and energy work have significantly relieved the pain in my body and definitely sped up the healing process. She is, without a doubt, just what the doctor ordered.

Three years after a serious motorcycle accident, my recovery had stagnated with traditional therapy. Due to the nature of the injury, I had lost mobility in my left forearm. Acupuncture was a method of treatment I was curious to try. Within a few visits I saw noticeable results. I feel my recovery has been reignited and I look forward to the possibilities from each visit. Thanks Holly!

I have been going to Holly Green for over a year now for various injuries, aches and pains associated with the training for Long Distance triathlons. I find that nothing helps better for sports related issues than a combination of acupuncture and massage. Holly is amazing at both. No matter what issue I have encountered, I leave her office feeling better every time! It is most helpful to go immediately or soon after noticing symptoms of a problem when she can help quickly to avoid it becoming a chronic condition. I would highly recommend Holly Green for any athlete trying to improve performance, avoid injury!

Holly, I AM SO EXCITED! I had the least painful run I’ve had in YEARS!!! You are AWESOME!! I can’t thank you enough. I feel so much better about my race. I’m just so excited. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!

I have been having problems with my lower back and hips on and off for the last 5 years and massages were the only temporary relief I got until I started seeing Holly Green. Who would’ve ever a thought needles in my glute and lower back would alleviate that. Thanks so much for fitting me in on my Florida trips and helping to extend my baseball career that’ has been hindered by injuries. You’re the best Holly!

The truth is, I was never a believer in acupuncture. After suffering with piriformis pain for years, and after several recommendations from fellow triathletes, I decided to give it a try.
Much to my surprise, the pain was alleviated almost immediately. I run pain free now and go back for any acute pain, which always gets resolved. I don’t have time to be injured with all the training I’m doing. You have been a lifesaver!! Thank you so much, Holly!! You are the best and I would recommend you to anyone!!
