I’m Gavin Larsen, a sports acupuncturist and Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner (R.Ac., R.TCM.P.) with over a decade of clinical experience and 20+ years in strength training. I help active people — and those who want to be — break free from pain and stiffness so they can move better, train harder, and live stronger.
If you’re dealing with nagging injuries, limited mobility, or constant setbacks, you’re not alone. Modern life — from desk jobs to weekend warrior habits — sets us up for pain and restriction. That’s where sports acupuncture comes in. Using a blend of orthopedic and electro-acupuncture, cupping, and myofascial release (Gua Sha), I target the root cause of pain, improve range of motion, and speed up recovery — so you can get back to doing what you love, without fear of injury.
Since earning my Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine Diploma in 2014, I’ve specialized in treating musculoskeletal pain, restoring mobility, and optimizing athletic performance. As a former instructor, I’m passionate about teaching clients how to take charge of their health — because treatment should give you tools, not just temporary relief.
Outside the clinic, I’m always testing what works — whether it’s new training methods or recovery tools. I believe recovery is just as important as training — and I’m here to help you master both.
No more setbacks. Let’s rebuild your strength and mobility — for good.
