From the reviews
I have had recent PT for a torn rotator cuff issue at another location, and realized I should have gone to the wellness institute instead of the closest PT site. What a mistake! So I started another round of PT and wow….the difference in therapists was astounding!
A recent severe Sciatica flare up required my need for physical therapy. Several years ago, I utilized the Wellness Institute and as was the case then as now this facility has all the latest equipment for those needing physical therapy. Perhaps more importantly this facility's staffing is outstanding.
In August 2024 my doctor sent me to PT due to extreme pain in back, hip, and thigh. I chose Wellness Institute where I met therapist Sophia Bursch. After several sessions, we finally found the right group of back and core strengthening exercises for my particular pain.
Very highly recommend Wellness Institute for anyone in need of PT. As soon as you have an initial consultation with Craig, you know you are in the highly capable hands of a real pro. Love their approach of staying active at all ages, and their different techniques to strengthen the body where it’s needed.
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.
