Have formerly been successfully treated for pain in my left wrist, so I took a chance to treat my knee.
After 7 (seven) sessions my pain was gone, I only have a heavy feeling in my knee, maybe after stepping up and down the stairs on board for eight times between floor 5 and 14 every day.
I have also got good advice on how not to bend down in order not to strain the knee.

Read MoreDr. Martina Sturm acupuncturist treated me for migraines which I have had for over 50 years. She has been very thorough and developed a complete package for me over the course of my cruise. I found her to be excellent in all aspects of the treatment and she took great care to work with me to help rid me of my migraines. I haven’t had one whilst on board and am very hopeful that this will continue when I get home or over the next few weeks or months.

Read MoreI really appreciate what wonderful care given to me by Dr. Sturm. If I was late or early for an appointment she always accommodated me. I have terrible motion sickness and she provided an effective treatment even through the Straits of Magellan. I am deeply grateful that she could help me with my often debilitating tendinitis in my thumbs. I really will be returning home feeling like new!

Read MoreDr. Martina attempted to approach my multiple chronic ailment of GERD and shoulder/neck pain. On the first day of my therapy, scheduled to cover 2 weeks of sessions, I suffered a strain in my right upper thigh during the first 10 minutes of a yoga class. She was forced to concentrate her acupuncture to healing my muscle strain. This discomfort and disability gradually improved over the next week of sessions so that I was able to enjoy my trips on shore.
GERD has also showed improvement over the last two days of our interaction. Dr. Martina has encouraged me to pursue further acupuncture as therapy for my neck/shoulder problem. I will do so.

Read MoreI, like millions of others have tried numerous different ways to lose weight, without much success. I read about acupuncture thru the ship’s literature and thought that this may be the answer.
After consulting with Martina, I was optimistic. After about a week of daily treatments, I noticed I was not filling my plate as much, nor finishing it off. My “go to” alcohol, vodka and diet coke was also tasting different, and not in a good way. I even poured a few down the drain. My drinking has reduced dramatically and I know I will be quitting altogether very soon.
It is an expensive program, but I feel well worth it when it comes to my health and wellbeing!!

Read MoreMartina was excellent in explaining the treatment procedure. Weight has always been a problem and having to eat less during the program was nice. I have always had a good appetite, but less is better. I also have an over sensitive bladder and I definitely noticed a better change in running to the restroom so often.
It was a joy to befriend Martina personally and professionally. As I continue on my weight loss program I will keep Martina’s voice in my head encouraging me “You can do it!”
