Arun Jain is a wise and experienced therapist. He can use a range of modalities in any session. He…read moreintuitively knows what will be most effective--deep tissue, energy work, neuromuscular--he understands how the body functions and he does whatever therapy will work best. I have always had some bioenergy healing with my neuromuscular therapy session. I trust him to do whatever he feels he needs to do as he is working. He is very "in the moment" with your needs. It is amazing to have someone so focused on your healing with so many healing modalities to offer. I cannot recommend Arun Jain and Integrative Therapies highly enough. Brillance!!

I've been going to Rick for many, many years. Not only is he a great massage therapist, he is also…read morea great source of knowledge in terms of alternative health modalities, which he believes in to supplement more mainstream treatments. His new treatment space in Brookline is pleasant and very soothing. And the room is very large compared to his former modest office in the Back Bay. Rick's particular expertise is treating musicians for the various problems that may arise when playing an instrument. This has been a godsend for me, and doubtless for many other musicians. He will also kindly accommodate your musical preferences while working on you--I don't enjoy New Age stuff, so he indulges my taste for Renaissance and Baroque music! Always a great experience and a pleasure to see Rick.

He asks the right questions, and knows how all the muscles and tissues work together. He specializes in a few different modalities of deep tissue work, which is exactly what I need. I do hard physical work, and it takes a toll on my body. I always leave my appointment feeling taller, calmer, and nearly pain-free, which is an amazing transformation for me. The most amazing thing is I feel better for days - it's not just a temporary fix. I recommend Earnest very highly.

I fractured my elbow and was told by my doctor that I needed physical therapy to keep the range of…read moremotion and so the elbow would not get weak. I had to start PT within a week of my June 2nd doctors appointment. I made an appointment at Wellness in Motion at the University Club in Boston asap. I filled out the paperwork online and was early for my appointment on June 9th. When I arrived, the person I spoke with was ALL about insurance, nothing else. Was my insurance the same, what insurance did I have, could I self-pay if they didn't take my insurance! I told him I was on Medicare and he completely dismissed me. "Oh, we do not take Medicare here." I said it was fine, that I could self-pay, no problem. I just really needed to get the PT started. "No, he said. We don't take anyone here that is on Medicare. You have to go elsewhere." So - I wasted an ENTIRE week waiting for this appointment. I now cannot get into another PT facility until June 17th, further compromising my recovery. Why did Wellness in Motion not tell me this before? How about a phone call so I didn't go all the way over there to be told to get lost? I filled out the paperwork as I was asked. I have never been treated so POORLY. I am also a member of the University Club and cannot believe we are working with such an unprofessional group of people. I had to tell my doctor that I lost a week of PT because of this and he is not pleased at ALL.

I waited 45 mins until dr arrived to tell me she has no time for groupon appts and that she doesn't know how i got an appt. excuse me? If you don't communicate with your own office staff why does that become my problem. I understand being busy, she never apologized for the wait, never gave me estimated waiting time so than I decided to leave and ask for refund because i wasn't going to wait any longer. All I know if i was late 30+ mins I wouldn't be seen i am pretty sure. So perhaps this place is great when they get your money but i guess if you want to just give it try and use groupon I suggest going elsewhere because you aren't so welcome here. Too bad because i was looking forward to this appt to be ruined for me.

I want to be clear that I only had good experiences with Dr. Puri. I found him to be professional,…read moreknowledgeable, and extremely helpful as a medical advocate when I tore my ACL and needed extra guidance. However, I have had 10+ years to think about my experiences with Dr. Kum, which made me increasingly uncomfortable as a young 20-something woman in his care. At first, I appreciated that he wasn't afraid to really "get in there" with low back/glute massages. A lot of chiropractors and even masseuses will avoid the glutes (perhaps for good reason). However, it did feel a bit strange that this was happening in only my underwear and a thin gown, so I started wearing gym shorts for more coverage. I even asked my male boss, who was also a patient, if he experienced these intensive glute massages, and he said yes, but always over his shorts. But then there started being inner thigh massages that felt unnecessarily intimate and when I asked if it was really necessary, Dr. Kum responded that all muscles are linked and that this would be helpful for my low back issues. I believe he then asked if I would like him to avoid that area, and I said yes. At that point, I started to feel really uncomfortable and decided to stop seeing Dr. Kum because it just felt unnecessarily intrusive and inappropriate. As far as his adjustments, I always found them to be weak and unsatisfactory- he would have to try several times and often times it wouldn't release at all. His focus seemed to be much more heavily on massage, but in a way that didn't feel entirely appropriate for a chiropractor (and was a vastly different approach from Dr. Puri). Again, I've had 10+ years to think about how he made me feel, and as a now 41 year old woman with two daughters, I can undoubtedly say that the way he made me feel was not ok.

I've moved around the country quite a bit, so I've seen close to a dozen different chiropractors…read moreover the years. I would not recommend Dr. Kum, and I'll explain why. This is the only chiropractor I've ever seen who requires patients to change into a hospital gown top for every appointment, including basic adjustments. And it's a tissue thin gown, mind you. As an, ahem, shapely young woman, I felt unnecessarily exposed. The few times I saw the other chiropractor at this practice, he looked at me like I'd sprouted an extra head when I asked if I should change into the usual gown. Dr. Kum also sees patients in a large private room with the door closed. At first I appreciated the extra privacy, but I quickly became uncomfortable when he would set me up with a hot pack, laying on my back, and then sit at his desk for long stretches at a time, facing me while I was laying on the table. His back adjustments were fine, but his neck adjustments were unpleasant. He would pull, it wouldn't give, he'd say "sorry," and then this would repeat for 5-10 rounds. It felt like he was merely tugging and yanking at my neck muscles, and I never got the relief I've known from neck adjustments from other chiropractors. The absolute worst part for me, and the reason for giving one star, is that he would make strange, borderline suggestive, comments, while doing my adjustments. I kept second-guessing myself, but when it kept happening, I finally had enough and never went back. I've never experienced anything like it in a doctor's office. :(

Brian is hands down (and up and all around your back) the best massage therapist -ever. He is…read moreeverything you have always wanted in a therapist but sadly never had. You know when you want them to spend little more time in one particular spot or just go a bit deeper to work out that knot and they DON'T??? With Brian you don't even have to ask. He assess your body, posture etc. and will know exactly what spots he needs to focus on to get you balanced and pain free. Over the years he seems to have developed his own unique technique that is one part deep tissue, one part chiropractic and with a dash of Thai massage (in that he isn't against throwing you over his shoulder and squeezing you in all the right spots down your back. Though that might just be for special/ long time customers. I doubt he will do that for the newbies in fear of scaring you away) Basically he is most concerned with your muscles in relation to your skeleton and will first assess your entire body to see where you are out of balance. So for example, he will check to see if one shoulder is higher than the other (it probably is) and will even look at your face to check for imbalances. But be forewarned-he will bring the "it hurts so good" pain so get ready-cause the pay off is well worth it. Your posture will be better, your shoulders straight, pain and tension will melt away and your eyes will sparkle. email is:bosbriguy@yahoo.com

So.. the review before mine is absolutely accurate.. the only thing I can add is that Brian has…read moreended years of chronic back pain!!!! He rocks my universe!!!!!!! I had 3 herniated discs when I came to see Brian. Since then, I haven't had major pain (I see him 2-4 times a month).. My posture has improved and I feel stronger and more flexible now than I have in years. I even hurt my formerly twice dislocated knee recently and went to see him before I saw a 'real' doctor and Brian made it all better... :) :) I think a good way to describe Brian's style is alternative medicine without the nonsense.. He's very knowledgeable: knows all the muscle groups by name, where they connect.. he knows the meridians, understands chiropractor work, has experience with many different massaging styles.. He is really, really strong, and can go as hard and deep as you want!! In short: I have looked for years for someone that goes hard when I ask, and who doesn't leave me feeling like a got a really expensive 'back rub'. Brian is so in-tune with the body and really cares. He puts his all into making the treatment effective and you can definitely feel it!!
