I've seen Askat for several years for pain relief from sports-related injuries. He recently introduced me to Rapid Acupuncture and I have been challenged believing how effective it has been treating my pinched nerve. Results so far include a week or more of total relief after less than 30 minutes of treatment. Thank you, Askat!

Testimonials
I have rotator cuff damage in both shoulders diagnosed by doctors which have restricted my ability to raise my arms even with my shoulders. In about seven minutes of treatment, about 6-7 needles placed in my ears coupled with some walking. I have been able to lift my arms directly above my head. This treatment took place 3 weeks ago and I still retain that amazing range of motion.

Askat provides one of the best massages I’ve ever had in my life. He’s literally like a magician/healer. From how gorgeously appointed & zen like his studio is, to the music he chooses to play, to the way he touches you, to his ability to read your body & use just the right pressure...it’s an absolutely delightful total experience. I’ve had massages all over the world & Askat easily ranks at the very top for me. He’s incredible with acupuncture as well. Today I tried cupping with him for my first time ever. Don’t think twice about it...Askat is legit amazing. You will not regret it.
