What clients say about the cupping here
“I have been treated with both herbs and acupuncture by Polina and Kerri and I can attest to their knowledge and expertise.”
“Polina has demystified and explained pretty much every aspect of acupuncture that I wondered about, and her use of additional modalities such as laser and cupping have also worked very well for me.”
“I had never done acupuncture before and was nervous/hesitant to even consider it, but thanks to Polina’s considerate attention and empathetic approach, I have never felt more comfortable.”

From the reviews
Acupuncture is something I had flirted with trying for several years, but a sports injury (herniated disc) and mixed results from physical therapy prompted me to give acupuncture an intentional try. I'm so glad I did, and I'm especially grateful to have met Polina.
I am a physical therapist with a holistic approach to treating musculoskeletal injuries. I met with Polina and she made me feel very comfortable in my first session. I can tell very quickly she is someone passionate about her craft and really enjoy helping others.

Polina and the Acuboston team are incredibly knowledgeable and talented. I am a physical therapist schooled in western medicine and have been skeptical of healthcare practices outside of this paradigm, but the results speak for themselves.
What to expect from your first cupping session
New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.
