Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture uses ultra-thin needles to stimulate specific points in the body, restoring energy flow and treating various conditions. Our licensed practitioners address musculoskeletal pain, stress disorders, and chronic conditions through personalized treatment plans. Combining traditional Chinese medicine with modern techniques, we help patients achieve lasting relief from pain, anxiety, and sleep disorders while improving overall wellness through regular sessions.
Massage Therapy
Our therapeutic massage services include deep tissue, lymphatic drainage, and hot stone techniques tailored to individual needs. Certified massage therapists use customized approaches to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and reduce stress. Specialized treatments like pregnancy massage and postpartum recovery help clients maintain physical wellness throughout life transitions while addressing specific musculoskeletal concerns.
Neurofeedback
Neurogen neurofeedback system balances brainwave patterns through passive EEG-guided sessions. This non-invasive treatment helps alleviate neurological issues, improve cognitive function, and reduce symptoms of anxiety and stress. Patients experience enhanced mental clarity and emotional stability through personalized programs that create new neural pathways for lasting brain health improvements.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy uses controlled suction to release muscle tension and improve circulation. Our practitioners integrate this ancient technique with modern treatments to address chronic pain, sports injuries, and stress-related conditions. Sessions promote detoxification, reduce inflammation, and enhance recovery through both standalone treatments and complementary applications during massage or acupuncture appointments.
Traditional Chinese Medicine
Our herbal medicine consultations create customized botanical prescriptions based on individual health profiles. Practitioners combine acupuncture with personalized herbal formulas to address chronic conditions, digestive issues, and hormonal imbalances. This comprehensive approach integrates dietary recommendations and lifestyle modifications to support long-term wellness through natural healing methods.

Hey Danae! I LOVE'd your latest Peak Performance email update with your list of safety precautions taken during Covid 19. I believe it will open doors for many that may be hesitant. I enjoyed my recent treatment (end of March), seeing that you're in your mask, willing to work around anything to make me be more comfortable in this strange time, staggering clients & the sanitizing precautions taken without the smell of harsh chemicals filling the air.
After 20+ years of treatments with you, as well as experiencing at least 20+more acupuncture and massage offices through out the country, you're doing an excellent job in every way possible and it's much appreciated, as I know it is and will be for others to come. Keep up the great work & helping others at a time when it's needed more than ever! Wandi

As educational sign language interpreters, my co-workers and I face a host of physical strains including neck, back, shoulder, knee and hip issues. Dr Kevin Rose at Peak Performance is the first and only professional I recommend when one of us is in pain. He is particularly familiar with what our line of work involves, and with the regular wear and tear we endure daily, we are very fortunate to have a chiropractor here in San Diego whose treatment we can count on to keep us feeling our best.
He listens to his patient's concerns and addresses each area of concern with the utmost care. I've seen a number of chiropractors over the years and I can say with complete honesty that Dr Kevin Rose, through his use of Active Release Therapy (ART, ) is the only one who has repeatedly been able to resolve my issues satisfactorily.

I have had 2 amazing massages at Peak Performance. Jill Suess and Liz Trejo are rock stars! They helped me understand what was going on with my messed up shoulder and the therapeutic massage really helped! I brought my 2 teen daughters who received massages from Danae Koolen and Shane Albarran. They loved it! My 16yo said her back doesn't ache any more. This outfit is super clean, cozy and relaxing. What a find!
