From the reviews
When I lived in Worcester a few years ago. I had a bakers cyst that burst,my knee was very painful and stiff. I did physical therapy ,but still very stiff. Josh was just starting in this area. I believe in holistic healing. I found josh and it was my first time trying accupuncture.
Josh has treated my many aches and pains for a few years and has helped me to stay in able shape to work full time as a nurse in a busy Boston hospital. He has a genuine interest in helping his clients and has a passion to help them. I've overcome injuries with his help, and have been able to continue to work.
Josh provides very comfortable and effective care. You can really tell the patient is his top priority. I recommend anyone seeking acupuncture to go see Josh at his stress-free practice.
I was seen by Josh at a doctor's recommendation for a work place injury. Josh was incredibly honest regarding his treatment approach and went in to great detail explaining how the treatment would work. His treatment was incredibly effective in decreasing pain as well as increasing mobility.
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.
