Brian & Pam Grosam were such an incredible support team for me while I landed in Hopkins, MN to stay near my dad when an accident in the home required nursing home care. I didn't live in the Minneapolis area (neither did my parents) and wasn't familiar with much, so I was thrilled when I went for a walk near my dad's TCU facility & came across Sun Acupuncture.
I had been enjoying regular acupuncture treatments in my home area in Santa Monica, CA, (A hotbed of Asian/Alternative medicine/acupuncture/complementary care) and was unsure what I would find in Hopkins. Much to my surprise, Brian & Pam turned out to be excellent healers, on par with anyone I had been treated by previously.
From the bronchitis cough/cold/lingering sickness I had upon arrival, to the shoulder-aches, back tension, stress-relief & grief-processing of the situation, Dr. Grosam & Pam helped me get through all of it. I spent about 5 months in the area, before my dad was rehabilitated enough to move to my city, and I sought treatments from Dr. Grosam & Pam almost weekly. They provided incredible relief for me during a highly stressful time, and I am so grateful for them. I would walk in feeling quite stressed & emotional, and leave after treatments feeling relaxed, tension-free & able to keep going. I'd never tried Tui Na massage before, and Pam provided exemplary treatments to help me see the benefit of that particular style of massage. It woke up my back, and eased the aches for a long period after.
Dr. Grosam even graciously treated my father in one visit. I would have taken him in weekly, but that was the only week when I had more support in the area and could manage physically taking him into the clinic (he was unable to walk or lift himself onto the table at that time). My father enjoyed it (his first ever acupuncture session) and I believe this visit played a large part in helping my father heal his arm back from months of total paralysis.
Thankfully, after all of the uncertainty of last summer, with my father's failing mental/physical health during that time, he is now rehabilitated to the point where he has regained almost all of the mobility, strength, and mental clarity that he had previous to the accident. He's gotten to a level of function that noone thought was possible at the time. Since leaving Hopkins last October, I've been taking my dad to weekly acupuncture visits in Santa Monica, and they have played a huge part in his rehabilitation and management of his Parkinsons symptoms. I am grateful to Dr. Grosam for kicking off his acupuncture treatments at a time when it was extremely difficult to take him out of the nursing home facility and into a clinic.
I highly recommend the Grosams for treating you or your loved ones. They took great care of me & my father. I hope more people open their minds to acupuncture & herbal medicines, as I have personally experienced they are powerful healing modalities for a wide variety of issues.
Thank you Brian & Pam. I finally reached a day where I could sit down & write this review, it was long overdue, but, I'm not one to post reviews often. I see that you moved, and I wish you the best in your new space! read more
