What clients say about the cupping here
“Currently, I'm back in PT for back pain and pleased PTSM is now even better.”
“Not only is my therapist (Mike) very thorough he also makes sure everyone who works with him is too.”
“She has listened to all of my issues and has been able to let me know what is happening, what we are doing to fix the issue and how we are going to strengthen my body to avoid the issue again!”
“I scheduled a few trial appointments at PTSMC because one of my friends suggested that I would get better results with a PT who is also trained in sports medicine.”
“The environment was clean and bright, the equipment modern and functional, and the facility appropriate for the patient load without ever seeming crowded.”
“Entire stuff @ ptsmc is very friendly and welcoming.”
From the reviews
I had some long standing issues with my back and knees from work related injuries from 30 years ago. Apparently my self adjusting my gait did some additional damage to my back and knees that finally caught up with me.
I had knee surgery in 2018 and was advised to get PT for good results. I researched and discovered a positive review on PTSM and decided to check them out. After meeting with Michael I knew this was the place for me. I had both knees replaced with great success.
I have received excellent care here. My therapist is very caring, knowledgeable and compassionate. He listens and modifies my therapy if I’m particularly sore, but also pushes me enough to make progress. The office staff are very pleasant, caring, and it’s nice to be recognized by name when you walk in the door.
PTMSC is a marvel to behold with such a strongly competent and positive-minded staff that buoys your recovery not only technically but also in a highly spirited manner that moves the needle in combination. My reason for being there was to rehab my shoulder after a complex surgery.
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.
