Anthony excels in his field. He is extremely knowledgeable and sensitive and listened carefully to my husband and I and our unique issues with our shoulders. My husband had a dislocated shoulder injury that was bothering him for over a year (it kept wanting to dislocate again.
I had several treatments with Anthony to address Musculoskeletal issues, from shoulder pain to knee pain to sprained ankle. He has a lot of knowledge about orthopedics and deeply cares for his patients. I had my issues resolved in just a few treatments and now I just need maintenance sessions. I highly recommend him
Dr. Von der Muhll has been an asset in my lower back rehab and leg pain while I saw him in the Bay Area. I have been impressed with the level of specificity he has made in addressing my pain. I am happy to refer him to my family and friends in VA, and happily make the drive from Northern VA.
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.
