I had my first time session with Chris this past Tuesday and was impressed with his knowledge,…read moreprofessionalism, technique and added value. I arrived to the appointment 10 minutes early and Chris was there with an intake form waiting for me and a cup of water. I filled out the form and Chris looked it over and asked me pertinent questions relating to my health and body history. We chatted about my goals for receiving bodywork. I'm an avid cyclist, runner and soccer player, which Chris was able to relate to and he was very familiar with the areas that I requested the session focus on. It was a cold, rainy day, so the heated massage table and heated packs he placed on my body were a welcomed added bonus. Chris let me know that he tends to be quiet when he works, but feel feel free to ask questions anytime. The massage was transcending. Chris truly has a passion and level of care that I haven't experienced with other practitioners. I lost track of all time and left the Vigor + Vim ready to relax the day away. Chris recommended that I take 12 hours away from exercise and to drink lots of fluids. He even showed me a couple new stretches afterward in the foyer that would help work some of my problem areas. I'm definitely looking forward to my next session and wholeheartedly recommend Chris Grohs and Vigor + Vim. His studio is in a great historic house converted into multiple offices and professional practices. Easy to find. Central location downtown and plenty of parking.

He really knows how all of your muscles work together and how to deal with any issue you are having from multiple angles. As a cyclist and runner, his massages have been a lifesaver! One reason I love appointments with Christopher is that he will work on any issues I'm having during my massage and afterwards give me explanations of the problem and stretches to do as homework. It's not just about the massage - he teaches you how to take care of yourself, too. I 100% recommend Vigor + Vim!

I put a couple of teaspoons of it in hot water in the mornings and drink it like a tea. I highly recommend Dr Li Lin!

My blood work showed a very weak thyroid (hypothyroidism) which left me without energy, cold and tired. After only a few months of treatment, my blood work was normal and has been normal all these years later. My other issue was PSVT which was causing me to have PVCs every 10 or so beats of my heart. After the same period of time I only rarely (maybe a few times a month) have PVCs - all these years later. I would have loved to stayed his patient if not for moving out of the area. It's a true testament to his skill that after 7 years I continue to benefit from his skilled application of accupuncture, herbal treatment, as well as tiu na. Dr. Qiu has such a gentle, attentive demeanor. He is a natural healer and I am so grateful for the health I now enjoy due to his healing! My life could have been so much different.

Fang Mu is truly exceptional…read more My wife has been visiting her for different health concerns for many years, and Fang Mu has always been able to help. I personally became a true believer after my own recent experience. I had been dealing with pain around my kneecap for almost a year, and it was only getting worse. Doctors told me it was the beginning of arthritis and that pain medication would be the only way to manage it. Pills, ointments, and knee braces gave me only short-term relief. After just three sessions with Fang Mu, the pain almost completely disappeared. I now walk without any problems and feel like a new person. Fang Mu is highly skilled, caring, and dedicated. I cannot recommend her enough.

I had intense painful migraines that lasted 24-48 hours on average once a month, for the past 30…read moreyears. Sometimes I'd go 2 or 3 months without one. Sometimes I'd have 3 in one month. These had multiple triggers, from large hormone drops during the beginning of monthly cycle, significant changes in barometric pressure, allergies, intense heat or snow starting, extreme changes in temperature, stress, sickness, sinus pressure and getting too overheated through exercise. No matter the doctor I saw, no one could help me with western medicine. The medicines prescribed to me actually hurt my body and put me at risk for heart attack and stroke. I was left to my own devices: mind tricks, coffee, Tylenol pm, hot showers, CBD and lidocaine topical creams, hot rice heating pads, sleeping with my fist to my forehead and weeping. I'd get through the migraine in bed, trapped in my mind, praying for sleep. On top of this, I dealt with family and peers not really believing the intensity of pain I was in and saying they knew better and it was all in my head. I've had family members (in laws) accuse me of having a drug overdose and faking for attention, while I was raising three small kids, rather than believe I was in pain, let alone help me. It has all made me stronger as a person but I do not wish this fate on my children. I've been called 'too sensitive'. I cannot help how my nerves and veins react to the environment. This is highly genetic with multiple women in the family line dealing with this. Yes, I've tried extreme elimination diets. The only trigger I find is wine, which I don't really consume anyway. Chiropractics did not help me either. The Chiropractor explained that it couldn't help hormone shifts. This methods helps more of the physical aspect of bones being misaligned. A coworker recommended this place to me 6 months ago because it helped her daughter with migraines. I was highly doubtful since many doctors hadn't been able to help me in the past. June 12th 2022 was my last migraine that had me in bed for 2 days and missing work. I started visiting Mu Acupuncture once a week. On one visit, I was planning on a trip to visit my son in college and knew that a migraine was starting that morning. I went in and explained I was having a migraine in real time. I was treated with acupuncture and sat in the dark room for an hour with the needles in place. Acupressure beads were then taped to my ears for massaging when needed. Cupping was performed on my back and neck. I explained that I was terrified the migraine would progress as I visited my son. The Dr. just smiled and said "Do not worry. You'll be fine." She then taped acupressure beads to my left thumb and said to press on these for the next 3 hours if needed. I continued on with my day, with my visit and my weekend and on into the next week perfectly fine. The migraine dispersed over those couple hours after treatment. I am awestruck and amazed. This is truly miraculous This has changed my life. I'm scared to even say this has worked because I feel like I'm in a dream and I'll ruin it if start believing the migraines are gone. It has been 5 months and I have not missed a day of work or a weekend because of migraine. I still feel pain come and go but it's managed at a different level. I'm feel happy and carefree. I enjoy every weekend. I am out brunching with friends and doing chores and relaxing. It's so wonderful!!!!!! Thank you thank you, Mu Acupuncture! I feel like a normal person again. I am enjoying every day as it comes.

This is a new development, and it is like a maze to find the actual building, but once you do find it you are in good shape. Very modern design in the interior and extremely clean. The practitioner was very professional and thorough. Understanding where the pain originates and radiating to was covered. Prior to the acupuncture, make sure you eat prior to ensure there is no nausea or dizziness. She is very clear with what sensations you should feel and shouldn't. She comes from a family with a lot of experience with acupuncture and understands the practice; not just from schooling, but a lifetime of exposure, which matters a great deal. We never felt rushed, or like a burden when we asked questions. We will definitely come back! Thank you!
