We are both avid runners as well as work out at the gym several times a week.  We also stay very active; including biking, hiking and walking.  As we have aged we have noticed our bodies becoming more sore, stiff and susceptible to numerous little injuries.  During the past year we experienced many physical set backs that interfered with our workout routine and made our physical activities more difficult and less enjoyable.  While on the Ruby Princess for a two week Mediterranean cruise, Martina presented us with an opportunity to try acupuncture as a potential answer to our physical problems.  Although we were extremely skeptical, we typically are open-minded and adventurous couple and decided to try it.  The initial investment in money and time seemed initially high, but we decided to give it a try.  We were extremely pleased and surprised at the results.  Not only did the treatments significantly improve our flexibility and alleviate our muscle soreness, we also seemed to have more energy and generally felt more positive and strong – it made us feel 10 years younger in one week.  We plan to continue acupuncture and herbal treatments and incorporate it with our lifestyle.
