Local acupuncturists partner to provide highly specialized and completely custom treatments that will rebalance and rejuvenate your everyday life.

January marks the beginning of a new venture for local acupuncturists Margaret Webb and Ann Mowat. The symbiotic duo has teamed up to form Tempo Acupuncture, a clinic that utilizes traditional Chinese medicine to treat the modern athlete — but doesn’t stop there.

As Austin’s only Sports Medicine Acupuncture Specialists, Webb and Mowat have four-year Master’s degrees in Traditional Chinese Medicine, over 10 years of combined clinical experience and both are trained herbalists. The amalgamation of their training has taught these women the importance of an extremely thorough and individualized course of treatment for each patient. “With Chinese medicine, it is never just one thing. It is always looking at how that thing that someone is seeking treatment for fits into the person as a whole,” Webb says. Webb and Mowat take the time to get to know each and every one of their clients scrupulously in an effort to understand the rhythm of the client’s lifestyle and to unearth any imbalances that may be present. In fact, despite the pair’s focus on sports-related ailments, the long-lasting relief and exponential benefits that acupuncture can provide are not limited to athletes. Webb and Mowat suggest that almost anyone, provided they are mobile, should consider trying acupuncture. Not unlike yoga or meditation, routine acupuncture can assist with rebalancing the body and is an effective method for treating stress, allergies, irregular sleep patterns and even infantile colic. “That’s where acupuncture really shines, actually,” Webb says. “I think acupuncture is really wonderful for pain because it can have a very immediate effect, but the more subtle effects are probably more profound for people’s health.”

Located on West 10th, the Tempo Acupuncture team has carefully crafted their ethos to provide multi-faceted support for all lifestyles and welcomes the opportunity to adapt to their clients’ every-changing lives. Webb and Mowat are dedicated to assisting with lifestyle changes, whether they be small or large, and they understand that customizing treatment to each individual is essential for attaining and maintaining a healthy, balanced life.
