What is Acutherapy?
Acutherapy is a therapeutic approach employing three combined elements, Acupuncture, Manual Therapy and Corrective Exercise to address musculoskeletal and myofascial issues, including muscle and joint pain throughout the body, arising from physical injury, overtraining, overuse, repetitive tasks or certain chronic conditions.
Using these elements jointly and collaboratively, Acutherapy treats a person as a whole, recognizing issues must be addressed interconnectedly, and not merely as just a sum of their individual parts. The result is a standard of care more effective and efficient than each technique separately, and oftentimes more beneficial than other clinical approaches prescribed.

Meet Our Success Stories
I’ve been a client of Mark Thompson Acupuncture & Physical Therapy since 2008 and can’t say enough about the amazing results and effects of their work I’ve been fortunate to receive over the years! My body has been through a lot of wear and tear, having been a professional dancer most of my youth.
Tanya B.
Mark has been the key to my postpartum recovery and I highly recommend him for those looking for specialized care after having a baby. Mark is an excellent diagnostician and quickly determined the right treatment plan for post C-section complications and chronic SI joint pain that resulted from the pregnancy.
Jaime S.
Mark was able to immediately make a major difference in my pain, and in my movement quality. The unique combination of Mark’s background in physical therapy coupled with his expertise in acupuncture allowed him to address other imbalances in my musculoskeletal system that might have added to my injury, and that had been neglected by my doctor and previous physical therapist.
Jena B.
As a weightlifter and runner who also sits at a computer all day long, mobility and recovery are key to being able to continue my athletic pursuits. I was lucky enough to find Mark Thompson several years ago, and he has helped me keep my muscles moving properly and feeling great.
Marissa T.
My first meeting with Mark was to treat an inflamed elbow that put me out of work for several weeks. I had tried rest and physical therapy without success. Mark immediately came across as a very knowledgeable person and made me feel very confident that he could help me.
Robert J.
I train 4-5 times a week, and have had my fair share of injuries – pulled adductor, pelvic floor syndrome, rotator cuff pain and let's not forget lower back! All of that and more had me seeing Mark over many years. I know my body well, and have been around the acupuncture block, and Mark is a staple in my regimen.
