About Brian

Brian Yang, MS, LAc

I had my first experience with acupuncture when I was in elementary school. I sprained my ankle badly and my mother found a small Korean acupuncture clinic near our house. In Korean culture, acupuncture is well established and prominent in Traditional Korean Medicine for its holistic and effective approach. However, since I was born in the United States, I was only familiar with Western medicine and did not have that same familiarity my parents had with acupuncture. 

​
At first, I was skeptical about the effectiveness of the treatment and was fearful of the procedure.  However, the treatment went well and became an eye-opening experience for me. I remember having significantly reduced inflammation and pain. The needles were relatively painless, and the practitioner was gentle and careful.

Background and skills
I earned a Bachelor’s in Science in Kinesiology Movement Science at Penn State University and worked with a variety of Penn State athletics teams. This experience sparked my interest in sports performance and human anatomy.

After graduation, I pursued a Master of Acupuncture Studies degree from the Won Institute of Graduate studies. There, I learned different styles of acupuncture, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture Physical Medicine, and Five Element. At Won I also acquired knowledge in meditation, Qi Gong, cupping, gua sha, Eastern nutrition, and other skills. 
As I dove deeper into pain management through my student clinic experience, I was motivated to learn more and specialize in this area. I started working with Grace, Paolo, and the rest of the Bridge Acupuncture team during my first year at Won Institute and am very grateful to have a team that has supported and encouraged me in my journey as a practitioner.
Ongoing training
I continue to study the art of acupuncture at every opportunity to hone my skills and acquire updated approaches with which to help my ​patients. The study of medicine is a life-long pursuit, and this is what makes it a demanding but fulfilling profession. 

Of course, balance is also important! In my free time, I enjoy weight training, traveling, reading, and most importantly, spending time with my family.
