From the reviews

…He had a whole tool kit of different methods, and it was really fun to try them out with him such as cupping and micro needling. I’m so thankful that he saved my race and has helped me put in an every day program to use so I can continue doing sports I love to do.

…Sam has guided me through strength-training exercises and stretches, and also provides cupping and dry needling, which has made a huge difference. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and easy to work with — I always feel supported and confident in the plan we are following!

★★★★★ — Lanie, Jan 2026

I went to physical therapy at another place before, but I didn’t really see much progress. Once I switched over to Podium Performance Physical Therapy and started working with Sam, everything changed. Sam takes a really personalized approach—he actually listens and tailors the treatment to what my body needs.

★★★★★ — Bayley, Jun 2025

I have been working with Sam for about 4-5 months now at Moses Fitness in Hanover on my shoulder and this is the most improvement I’ve ever seen. I have been suffering with chronic pain for over 7 years from a college sports injury & Sam is the first PT to help me alleviate pain (which feels like a miracle).

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.
