Dr. Bianca Beldini

DPT, MSOM, LAc, SFMA Cert. Level 1, Dipl.Ac (NCCAOM), Pose Method Run Technique Coach, USA Triathlon Level 1 Coach, US Masters Swim Coach Level 1 + 2, Holistic Health Coach (IIN)

Bianca began her career as a health care professional after graduating from New York University, when she entered the Physiotherapie Department at the Hanzehogeschool van Groningen in the Netherlands in 1994.

She was exposed to a European Osteopathic holistic health care model that would eventually shape her mindset and practice intentions, incorporating a mind-body-spirit approach into her clinical and life goals. She studied a style of Physical Therapy that focused on strict manual skills (based on the work of Vladimir Janda and Dr. James Cyriax), through which she learned and experienced the power of the human touch.

Bianca experienced the profound effects of Acupuncture and Oriental medicine after she suffered a neck injury in 2001. She received an Acupuncture treatment that removed her pain within 24 hours, and with that experience, she began her quest to evolve her understanding of health and wellness beyond the confines of Western healing modalities.

On September 11, 2001, Bianca worked at the WTC and ran from what seemed to be the end of all she knew. She suffered severe post-traumatic stress, and her life changed dramatically. Acupuncture and Oriental medicine once again shifted her but this time on an emotional level and she emerged from the trauma with an entirely different perspective on life and healing.

Over the past decade, Bianca has been part of academia, where she has helped teach students the art of using Acupuncture and Dry Needling for all types of musculoskeletal complaints. She founded Sacred Space Acupuncture in NYC in 2004 where she specializes in Trigger Point Dry Needling, Dance / Sports Rehabilitation Acupuncture and Women’s Health and Wellness.

She has cultivated many great professional relationships with prestigious doctors, surgeons, physical therapists, and body workers with whom she frequently dialogues about her patients' health and well-being.

Bianca presently works on dance royalty from NYC Ballet, School for American Ballet, and many Contemporary Movement companies in NYC. She has treated many professional football players from the NY Giants and also had the unique experience of touring the USA with USHER in 2011 during his O.M.G. tour. Recently she has been helping a major league pitcher return to his sport with a combination of her Acupuncture, Dry Needling and Physical Therapy manual skills.

In 2010, Bianca created a second private practice in Nyack, NY where she resides and there she co-founded a local Triathlon club and treats local athletes, artists and weekend warriors that hike and bike the trails of Rockland, Alpine and Bear mountain.

In 2004, Bianca spent some time in Syros, Greece, learning the art of essential oil distillation. She successfully earned her certification in Aromatherapy.

Bianca is also certified as a Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) practitioner. She loves treating endurance and multisport athletes, as she is a nationally competitive Age Group Triathlete and a certified Pose Method Run Technique Specialist.

Bianca is a USA Triathlon Certified Level 1 coach. She created a CEU series of teaching weekends for fellow Acupuncturists in Treating the Multisport Triathlete with Trigger Point Dry Needling. She races Sprint, Olympic, and Half Ironman distances.

The Sundala Method™ for the patient uses assessment methods as follows:

Observation (using a postural analysis grid) to help scan for skeletal asymmetries and center of gravity displacements,
Active range of motion activities to assess for dysfunctional movements
Palpation to re-confirm poor biomechanical patterns
Structural unwinding using the concept of Trigger point referral pain patterns paired with supportive meridian-based acupuncture points
Hands-on myofascial release to re-establish proper connective tissue pliability
Specific corrective actions that will reinforce the overall treatment to employ lasting results and pain relief
