Testimonials

Real Stories from Clients

Discover how TaoHeal has made a significant difference in our clients' lives through targeted, effective treatments.

I injured my back while lifting a mattress at work, causing excruciating pain that made it difficult to stand or walk. After just one acupuncture session at TaoHeal, my pain was reduced by over 70%. I could walk normally again, which felt like a miracle. Dr. Yao's expertise in acupuncture provided immediate relief when I needed it most.

testimonial Anna Housekeeper

After an intense weightlifting session, I experienced severe pain in my right shoulder and deltoid, limiting my ability to turn my head. A single session of acupuncture and cupping at TaoHeal brought significant relief. My range of motion returned to normal, and I was able to work the next day without any issues. Dr. Yao's treatment not only alleviated my pain but also accelerated my recovery, allowing me to maintain my fitness routine.

testimonial Wiktor Builder

Severe insomnia due to stress had been affecting every aspect of my life for years. After just one acupuncture session at TaoHeal, I slept better than I had in ages. A few more treatments, and my insomnia was gone. Dr. Yao's approach didn't just improve my sleep – it helped me manage stress too. TaoHeal has truly transformed my well-being. His head massage is incredibly divine.
