From the reviews

Hungerford has always been a great place to go for adjustments, physical therapy, and massages. I am currently going for PT and seeing Spencer, who introduced me to a new procedure called dry needling, which is similar to acupuncture, but it is a reset for your nerves.

★★★★★ — Kelly, May 2025

After ignoring a shoulder issue far too long I was skeptical it could feel good again. Dr Laufman was fantastic! He helped me understand the problem and the process to heal. He was realistic about what exercises worked with my daily routine so I could make continued progress.

Dr. Laufmann is a wonderful Physical Therapist. He is thorough, and very caring. He does a fantastic job figuring out ways to help, and explaining things. I would recommend him over and over! He was able to help me regain strength, flexibility, decrease pain and improve sleep!!

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.

Cupping isn't for everyone — if you're on blood thinners, pregnant, or have a skin condition or bleeding disorder, check with your doctor first, and always tell your practitioner about health concerns before a session. This page is directory information, not medical advice.
