From the reviews

I highly recommend OrthoWelll physical therapy in Newburyport. Chris and his team ( Cam and Ivan ) are extremely knowledgeable and professional, and provide a very targeted approach to improving your situation. I initially went in for shoulder pain, and improved sufficiently to cancel a scheduled operation.

★★★★★ — Donald, Nov 2020

I began PT at Orthowell in Newburyport after suffering an extremely painful lower back injury. Normally my weekends include hiking, running, surfing or snowboarding. I am typically a very active person and when I injured my lower back last summer, it was painful to even bend down to pick something up off the floor.

★★★★★ — Bryan, Nov 2020

I started working with Chris almost 4 years ago after I hurt my back moving house. Chris guided me through a steady recovery over several months and I was able to be back on the golf course without pain before the end of the season. I especially liked the different treatment modalities that Chris used.

★★★★★ — Tom, Apr 2021

From my first visit to OrthoWell, I've been so pleased with the PT services they provide. This is not only the friendliest office, it is also one of the most professional and well organized practices I've ever experienced. Chris and his team (Teresa and Ivan) make a point of getting to know their patients.

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.
