Athletic Recovery

Athletic Recovery

Athletic performance doesn't end at training — it’s sustained through mindful, intentional recovery. Whether you're a competitive athlete, a passionate mover, or just getting back into a fitness routine, our approach to athletic recovery is designed to support your body’s natural repair process, prevent injury, and optimize how you move and feel.

We take a team-based, whole-person approach to athletic recovery, combining acupuncture, SuJok therapy, kinesiology, tissue release, and cupping to bring the body back into balance after intense training, injury, or strain.

We Support Clients With:

  • Sports injuries and repetitive strain

  • Muscle fatigue and overtraining

  • Tendonitis, sprains, and ligament strains

  • Joint instability or post-surgical rehab

  • Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS)

  • Performance plateaus or mental burnout

  • Post-event recovery and body recalibration

Our Integrative Recovery Approach Includes:

Kinesiology, Tissue Release & Cupping Therapy: Our in-house kinesiologist, Anna, specializes in movement-based recovery and hands-on techniques that target the root of muscular tension and dysfunction.

  • Tissue Release Therapy is a deep, intentional technique that addresses the soft tissues — muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia — using precise pressure and client-guided movement. This method helps break down scar tissue and adhesions, restore mobility, and improve muscle function

  • Cupping therapy enhances blood flow, eases soreness, and promotes lymphatic drainage, speeding up the recovery process

  • Functional movement assessments and kinesiology-based guidance help correct imbalances, build strength, and prevent future injury

Acupuncture & SuJok Therapy: These therapies go beyond symptom relief to address the deeper energetic and structural imbalances that affect performance and healing. Acupuncture helps

  • reduce inflammation

  • improve circulation

  • release tight muscles, and speed up tissue repair

Whether you're bouncing back from an injury, pushing through a training block, or just want to feel better in your body after doing what you love — we're here for it.

Pain Management

Pain Management

Pain can take many forms — sharp or dull, constant or intermittent, new or lingering from years ago. Whether it stems from a sports injury, a motor vehicle accident, repetitive strain, or something unknown, one thing is clear: it affects every part of how you move through the world. At Lumera Health Collective, we’re here to help you not only manage pain — but begin to move beyond it.

We take a truly integrative approach to pain relief, combining acupuncture and sujok therapy with physical rehabilitation, tissue release, and nervous system support. Every treatment plan is personalized to meet you where you are, so we can address the root cause of your pain — not just the symptoms.

We Support Clients With:

  • Chronic pain conditions

  • Injuries from motor vehicle accidents (MVA)

  • Sports injuries and repetitive strain

  • TMJ, tension headaches & migraines

  • Joint pain and inflammation

  • Muscle stiffness, spasms or nerve-related pain

  • Pain with unknown origins or complex symptom pictures

How We Treat Pain at Lumera:

Alyx, our Registered Acupuncturist, uses both Acupuncture and SuJok Therapy to target the energetic and physical roots of pain. SuJok offers an additional layer of precision, especially in cases where pain is chronic, unexplainable, or tied to emotional imprints in the body.

Anna, our Kinesiologist, uses active release techniques, muscle testing, cupping therapy, and movement re-education to restore strength, mobility, and function. She works hands-on with clients to release adhesions and rebalance the body post-injury.

No two pain stories are the same. That’s why we tailor your care to meet you where you're at — combining modalities that treat both the body and the underlying energetic or emotional layers.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), also known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS), is more than just feeling tired — it’s a complex and often misunderstood condition that affects every part of your life. It can feel like your body is constantly running on empty, no matter how much rest you get. And when paired with symptoms like brain fog, unrefreshing sleep, body pain, and digestive upset, it can be incredibly isolating.

At Lumera Health Collective, we hold space for the reality of living with CFS. We don’t push, rush, or overlook the nuance of what you’re experiencing. Instead, we work slowly and intentionally to help your body restore balance — physically, emotionally, and energetically.

Our approach blends Traditional Chinese Medicine, SuJok Therapy, acupuncture, nervous system regulation, and digestive support to gently address the layers contributing to your symptoms. We recognize that fatigue often stems not just from energy depletion, but also from immune dysfunction, stress-related burnout, hormonal imbalances, and trauma held in the body.

We Support Clients With:

  • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)

  • Post-viral fatigue (including long COVID)

  • Brain fog and concentration issues

  • Digestive challenges like IBS or nutrient malabsorption

  • Hormonal depletion (including adrenal fatigue and thyroid imbalances)

  • Poor sleep and insomnia

  • Nervous system dysregulation and emotional burnout

  • The emotional toll of being in a long-term healing process

At Lumera, we know that healing from CFS isn’t linear. We’re here to listen, to adapt, and to walk alongside you at a pace that honours your body’s capacity.

Digestive Health

Digestive Health

Digestive discomfort can show up in so many ways — and when your gut feels off, it affects everything. Bloating, gas, unpredictable bowel movements, cramping, food sensitivities, fatigue, and even emotional instability can all trace back to the state of your digestive system. At Lumera Health Collective, we view digestive health as foundational to your overall vitality.

Our approach is compassionate, comprehensive, and personalized. We don’t just treat the symptoms — we work to understand why your body is struggling to digest, assimilate, and eliminate. Whether you're navigating Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), Colitis, Leaky Gut, or chronic indigestion, we’re here to help you untangle the roots and find lasting relief.

We Support Clients With:

  • IBS, IBD, and SIBO

  • Leaky Gut & inflammation

  • Bloating, gas, and indigestion

  • Constipation or loose stools

  • Food sensitivities & intolerances

  • Nausea & acid reflux

  • Stress-related digestive issues

  • Nervous system dysregulation linked to gut health

At Lumera, we know the gut is more than just a physical system — it's a hub of immunity, emotion, and intuition.
