In the first 70 year of my life I was in constant pain from my back. A chiropractor recommended a surgeon in Miami. Two surgeries I was still in pain.

On the Crown Princess to Hawaii. After 20 treatments my pain is considerably reduced and I feel with further treatments I will reduce the pain to where it is manageable.

Thanks, you, Dr. Martina Sturm

Martina treated me to relieve the burning pain in my knee that prevented me from getting a good night’s sleep. she has been successful even though I have still climbed and descended stairs on various excursions. Relief without more pills!!

I came onboard with severe arthritis in both knees. As I’d had great pain in my left knee a feed weeks before I left, I did many things to improve this. Pain was mostly alleviated but I still walked with difficulty, my leg was stiff and I couldn’t bend my knee, I also wore a knee brace or compression bandage support. My doctor made sure I had many of supplies of anti- inflammatory and pain killers!

I was dubious at first to embark in a daily dose of acupuncture, but Martina and I quickly developed a close bond and I have to say that for most of the trip (18 days) I have not worn my knee support and found I didn’t need to take any drugs. The part I love the most is that I now don’t walk with a limp either! If I ever find that I am, it is very slight.

Thank you, Martina.

I’d been beset with chronic bronchitis for several years, which developed into bronchial asthma. I again developed bronchitis on our cruise (with bronchial asthma being aggravated). I came to see Martina to find you what acupuncture might be able to do for me. I feel like she worked a miracle for me. I appreciate all she accomplished for me. Her treatments have helped me breath more easily than I have in years. Job well done!!!

I there is an angel on board, her name is Martina. The first day of the cruise, my back went out and I was in a lot of pain. She helped me immediately. Within hours, I was pain free, which is a miracle for me. I saw her several more time to make sure I stayed pain-free. At the end of the cruise, I came down with a cold. She saw me immediately, in between other clients. Again, I felt better. Martina is kind, emphatic, competent and professional. She made it possible for me to get the most enjoyment out of the I cruise. I was able to go on excursion pain-free. If there were one person with whom I could hot have without on this cruise, it is Martina. I am so very grateful to her.

After planning and waiting for years to go on a cruise I arrived with such unbelievable left knee pain. I considered cancelling the whole trip. The first night I slept with my knee wrapped in ice. The next morning, I found Dr. Martina Sturm who developed a plan after a careful assessment. Her care made the difference between a dreadful trip and a pain-free enjoyable experience. I didn’t miss a thing and really enjoyed every minute of the long walking excursions.

Thank you so much for the comfort you gave me!

I came on board ship with severe tennis elbow that affected everything I did. I had never tried acupuncture before but was willing to do anything to ease the pain. Luckily, it was being offered on board, and I signed up for it before I could second guess myself. I met with the doctor on board for 3 easy treatments. I was fully functional and out of pain. I would highly recommend acupuncture to anyone willing to try it.

IT WORKS!

One week prior to our trip my left hip started hurting. The morning we left for our vacation I was in a lot of pain – It hurt to walk. We heard from our bus driver of her experience she with the acupuncturist on her Alaska cruise. By the time we boarded the ship the pain was so bad I should have asked for a wheelchair.

That was it, there was no question, I had to give acupuncture a try – I am so glad I did. I was able to get to dinner with my husband

Martina was the best, she explained how it all worked and what I should consider to continue the healing. If it wasn’t for Martina, I would have had to spend my entire vacation in my stateroom with room service – thank you Martina.

We came on board with no intention of seeing an acupuncturist but were guided to her by other crew members by chance.

I have prostate cancer and all the medication leads to lots of side effects, dry skin, hair loss, fatigue, hot flashes and frequent urination, especially at night.

A few painless treatments and I feel so much better. Skin is better, more energy, hot flashes cut by 70% and a lot less trips to the bathroom. Too early to tell for the hair loss. Great results.

That aside, she is a super nice lady, easy to talk to. She actually cares about you and wants to get you well

Miss you already!

My brother (Captain Tom) came on this cruise knowing we would have a good time and spend some quality time together. But meeting Dr. Martina for acupuncture most likely changed my life. I’ve had restless legs for over 10 years and have been a smoker most of my life. My desire to smoke (in just one week with Dr. Martina) has decreased tremendously and I have utmost confidence I may have just bought my last pack of cigarettes. My legs have also guided down tremendously. Besides being a great acupuncturist, I will always remember how kind she was to both of us. Thank you for everything.

What an unexpected “bonus” to have on our first cruise ever and to have had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Sturm.

Having never experienced acupuncture and arriving on board with a lot of pain in my hip, groin and leg, I was so pleased to “try anything” that would help. After 7 days I am much better in my body and mind. My body is not miraculously cured but I am much better with my gait, mobility and pain and most of all Dr. Sturm warm optimistic messages and education on the body made me feel hopeful.

I came aboard with a nagging heel spur which was problematic for the prior 7 weeks. After a short consultation with Dr. Martina Sturm I scheduled 10 treatments during the 7 day cruise. I was able to make some progress the first few days and after several shore excursions I was in worse pain than at the start of the cruise. I stayed with the schedule and now feel so much better. She was very helpful and encouraged me to be persistent and have a positive attitude. I will continue treatments when back on shore. Dr. Martina has true caring for her patients.

Martina Sturm was excellent at explaining acupuncture. I have never done acupuncture, she walked me through the process and I felt that the treatment helped me a lot. Started an ongoing herbal program to help me get healthy. The pain that I wanted addressed was. I feel my long-term health will be better.

Thank you, Martina.

8 treatments later I understand how acupuncture will benefit my life. Dr. Sturm was patient with us. My husband and I had joint treatment, and taught us how to take better care of ourselves and how to recover from some live changing events that we have experienced.

We will not forget you, Martina!

Thank you.

Decided to try acupuncture for intestinal problems of many years. After four days of treatment normal bowel functions resumed without pain and without the use of laxatives. Dr. Martina was always prompt and encouraging. Acupuncture is an experience, I hope to continue at home.

I have MS and I have been looking for different alternatives to make myself feel better. My mother told me to do acupuncture treatment. I had five treatments and can already see a difference. My walking has gotten better and so have my muscle spasms. When I get back home I will continue treatments. Dr. Martina was very helpful and knowledgeable about acupuncture, so it made me comfortable.

A very knowledgeable doctor. After receiving her service, I found I had better strength walking. Also helped with moving away from smoking as much as I was. Was helpful in selecting a massage that helped my back and shoulders. There are many qualities that are too numerous to mention.

Daughter of Patient: Dr. Sturm was very helpful explaining the process she would conduct via acupuncture on my dad. I would highly recommend this on-board service to others. Princess is lucky to have Dr. Sturm on their staff!

On the second night of our cruise to Alaska I suffered a muscle spasm in my back. I have suffered from muscle spasms for 20 years. They last about a week and are very painful. I decided to five acupuncture a try as I was going to be walking a lot on our tours. After my first treatment the pain had eased a lot and I was able to enjoy our next day in Juneau. It took several treatments but by the 4th day the pain and soreness had gone – much quicker than with the ray lamps I used at home.

Thank you, Martina, for enabling me to enjoy Alaskan Cruise with much less pain!
