Brian at altTHERA is the BEST

by Joy02114

I went to Brian as a first time client of altTHERA. I had a specific issue with my back (which I found out was really my hip thanks to Brian). He talked to me about my issues, took an overall read on me (including my posture) and went to work. He was wonderful He applied the perfect amount of pressure and finally got me to melt into the table. I walked in a crocked mess and walk out standing tall and not wincing with pain. I immediately booked my next appoint - I WILL BE BACK!

• Pros: Polite, Clean, Calm, Fixed all my aches and pains

altThera helped when no one else could.

by sartell

When you walk in the door at altThera Health you feel the calming, relaxing atmosphere surround you. I knew I was in the right place as soon as I walked in. The people are friendly and give you their undivided attention. The service was prompt, which is important to me because I am always on a schedule.

I had been in pain for some time with my sciatic when I first went to altThera. I had tried everything, including an MRI, followed by meds and got no relief. I made an appointment with altThera?s acupuncturist and followed that with a massage and for the first time in months I could move without extreme pain. I returned for the next two weeks for the same treatment and today I am fine. They are so good at what they do; they explain everything so that you have a better understanding of what is happening with your body. They helped me when no one else could and I am very grateful to them.

• Pros: Helped me when no one else could, great atmosphere, good service, no tipping
• Cons: Parking

Wonderful massage therapists and staff

by drcoldcuts

This place takes the approach of a therapist/doctor's office rathern than a massage parlor which I really enjoyed. They are very professional and insightful with any problems you have, and try to treat the pain instead of masking it. I also found that they do not accept tips which is very rare is this profession. Their reasoning was "You don't tip your doctor do you? At that's exactly what we are here. We are here to treat the problem". Excellent answer by them!

Best massage and acupuncture in Boston.... BY FAR!!!

by alanschwartzman

I went to altthera for the first time about 6 months ago. I was having neck and shoulder pain from sitting at my desk all day working in Excel. First, both the massage therapist and acupuncturist were phenomenal and greatly reduced my pain. Second, when I showed up they were very busy but I had no waiting time and was seen right at the time of my appointment. The office is great. It is clean, contemporary and peaceful. I would HIGHLY recommend this business to anyone who is having any type of pain.
