Knee and Back Pain

On three different occasions, I came to Tom Cohen with a chronic
use injury that had become acute: twice for my back, once for my
knee - all related to sitting too much and not exercising enough.

Each time, after one session, I had both immediate relief and
significant improvement over the following days. I highly recommend
Tom for chronic and acute injury recovery.

Tom is a very skillful practitioner, very knowledgeable and amiable
during the session, as well as affordable and available for
appointments. Pleasant, centrally located office.

Back Pain no More

I was suffering with consistent, major back pain for about 6 weeks when I had my first acupuncture appointment. Within a day or two after that appointment my back started feeling much better and the pain started dissipating gradually each day thereafter. Because of the holidays, there was a 3-week window between my first and second appointment and I assumed that my pain would resurface again before my next treatment. To my amazement, I was pleasantly surprised that my back felt great for the entire 3 weeks. I even tweaked it a little around Christmas and I assumed that the pain would come back. But when I woke up the very next day, I was pain-free and my back felt great again. I highly recommend Tom's services. You can't argue with the results.

Quit Smoking

I wanted to share my experience with Acudetox. I have tried several other methods to quit smoking, with no success. I found that with the Acudetox no smoking

program, it made the withdrawel process much easier. The strong urges that you normally have were much less noticeable. I also believe that coming for 3 weeks make you more accountable. I feel emotional clarity and a better state of well being. - DN

I was referred to Tom Cohen and Insight Wellness by a work associate approximately 18 months ago. I had been complaining to her about my persistent knee and ankle tendonitis as well as several other leg problems brought-on by 20 years of recreational running.

As a 40-year old with aspirations to improve my running and (some day) run a marathon, I set an appointment to meet with Tom. We discussed my goal to run faster and with less pain and decided to try a few sessions to determine if massage would benefit me. Tom's therapy was effective nearly immediately. I noticed improved flexibility and my problems with knee pain were eliminated after only a few sessions.

4 months ago, I began training in earnest for the Boston Marathon. Having trained for several half marathons over the years, I knew that the risk of injury would be high as I added more miles and more frequent workouts. I had resigned myself to the fact that I would (at some point in my training) be sidelined with an injury. My goal was to limit the severity of any injury and hopefully reduce the amount of time I would be unable to train.

Tom and I discussed my goal of running the marathon and decided to make a weekly massage part of the training schedule. I am pleased (and amazed) to report that I completed my training without injury. Further, I ran the marathon 10 minutes faster than my goal time.

Having run for many years, I am still amazed at the results I received from a weekly massage. I have never trained aggressively without injury- Until now. I would highly recommend massage (and Tom Cohen) as a training resource for any athlete.. Tom's contribution to my training was as important as any other element of my program and allowed me to do something I would otherwise not have been able to accomplish.
