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.

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.
