From the reviews
I have know Volker for many years. He is professional and caring. He has an extensive knowledge, background and expertise in this speciality. He has helped my neck , lower back and hip pain and stiffness. The Wellness Factor facility is in a great location. As soon as I walked in the door, I felt relaxed.
Alaska Wellness Factor is a little gem in a great location. Volker is a master at myofacial manipulation and is the best LMT I have found in this state. He knows his craft, and is choc full of great tips for optimum functioning of the body you reside in. Only five stars avail, can I add another?
What an amazing healing experience! After my session with Volker I felt centered, and my movements become effortless. Volker assessed my structure beforehand, formulated a plan, and proceeded with the session paying close attention to my body and incorporated several effective methods from various schools of bodywork.
Volker is hands down the best!!! A LMT who truly cares about his clients! He personally answered the phone, understanding the urgency of my situation he rearranged his personal plans and got me in within a few hours. Volker went above and beyond explaining everything he was doing and why.
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.
