From the reviews
…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 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.
AcuBoston is always a wonderful experience. The staff is welcoming and genuinely caring, and they always take the time to understand and cater to my individual needs. Every visit feels relaxing and supportive. Highly recommended!
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.
