Balance Point Therapy

Fantastic experience: Marcus you should keep trying- life happens and ray is a one man show of amazingness, knowing him for a little over a year i can promise it wasn’t on purpose. The guy is worth more than a little Grace- he’s beyond talented and a magician at his craft. Can’t say enough good things.

Negative experience: I’ve searched high and low for a PT that can do dry needling and this practice is one of the few that can, and unfortunately haven’t received a call back after waiting days. When you’re in pain and looking for relief and don’t get the courtesy of getting a return call it’s disappointing.

Fantastic experience: Ray is an amazing human being!! My body feels so much better since seeing him. My husband also had hamstring issues and Ray made that all go away. If you need any kind of PT, this is your one stop. Spend the money, your body is worth it.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Ray is so helpful, kind, and understanding. He has helped me tremendously and is always a pleasure to work with! It is hard to find someone who is so good at so many aspects of physical therapy and recovery

Fantastic experience: I can't thank Ray enough for working on my back and neck. Ray is a consummate professional who truly cares about the well being of his clients. His vast knowledge in PT as well as acupuncture helped me recover quicker so I could get back on the jiu jitsu mats and do what I love. Thanks for everything Ray.

Fantastic experience: No matter how much I stretch, warm up, roll out etc. i still walk around feeling tight in my back. It only took one session with Ray at balance point to get a new sense of mobility through my back. I had never had acupuncture or cupping before so was a little hesitant on how it would feel. I didn’t even know the needles were in by the time we were done. Ray explains what he’s doing and what it’s accomplishing and helps relax you through the process. Could not recommend checking him out more!

Fantastic experience: Super friendly and knowledgeable guy. Helped me a lot after a motor vehicle accident and he introduced me to cupping, I love it!

Fantastic experience: I've seen Ray for two injuries now as a collegiate athlete and can say he's the best in the business! He's super knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely wants his patients to get better. His combination of integrative techniques has made the difference compared to previous treatments I've had prior to seeing Ray.

Fantastic experience: Ray is AMAZING! As a former collegiate athlete I have dealt with chronic neck and shoulder issues that have resulted in ongoing pain and discomfort. I attended my first sports acupuncture session with Ray and it was even better than I could have hoped for. He took time to listen to my symptoms, explain what was happening to cause my symptoms, and explained every part of his treatment to me. When I got off the table into my car it was the best I had felt in MONTHS, and I felt even better the following days! I cannot say enough about Ray, and I would recommend this place to anyone! Here are some pictures I had taken while I was not the table to see what was going on :) Thanks again Ray, I will be back soon!

Fantastic experience: Ray and Balance Point Therapy have changed my life! For years I suffered from chronic knee pain and accompanying hamstring issues. After 5+ years of physical therapy (and several physical therapists) and 2 knee surgeries I found Ray. I am now back to running and rigorous physical training for the military. Ray is the absolute best in the business. He is extremely knowledgeable about the human body and skilled at what he does. Ray has multiple techniques (acupuncture, dry needling, cupping, manual therapy) he utilizes to give your body what it needs. He always communicates with his patience to gather feedback to achieve the most effective treatment. He is also an absolute pleasure to work with. I write this review because I truly believe in his abilities and I believe he is the guy to get you back healthy and pursuing your goals. Thank you to Ray and Balance Point Therapy!!

Fantastic experience: Here's a quick FYI on Balance Point Therapy. I herd about this place through a friend that has had excruciating pain in her neck and back from an injury that happened years ago. She started seeing Ray for her symptoms and had amazing relief and lasting results. I contacted Ray immediately and started seeing him on a regular basis for my back and neck pain, not to mention I had reoccurring sciatic pain. I couldn't tell you how reassuring he was from day one and how informative he is about what he's doing or why you're experiencing pain as well as how he can fix you. No pain no gain! Some of the things he does will hurt without a doubt but it's for the better, so trust that he knows what he's doing and that you will feel better because of it. Ray is very polite and respectful of you and your needs at all times. Ray loves to talk and catch up with you throughout your session and by doing so it makes you feel comfortable. I would say my only downside is that he doesn't take insurance but everything else is amazing and without a doubt deserves ten stars for everything he does. I hope your experience is as good as mine and find the relief you need in your life☺

Fantastic experience: Let me tell you something . When a man hurts his back that’s a red flag period . A mans back is extremely important . I hurt my back lifting a ladder at my work one of my nerves was swollen and was being pinched by my spinal cord . I am a window washer I love it and I take pride . Thanks to Ray my man my friend and my brother took care of me as a professional therapist . I am not saying this because he is my friend but he truly takes pride in what he does .

Fantastic experience: Before coming to Ray I had lower back pain all day and I wasn't able to work out well. Every time I would do squats/deadlifts etc the pressure on my lower back would just get worse. I thought maybe my form was bad but it wasn't that. I didn't know what to do, then my husband recommended me to Ray. I explained my situation to Ray and he told me he understood and he could fix the problem and just after 2 sessions my back got so much relief that I was able to work out and not feel any pain. Ray is very knowledgeable about what he does he is also a really kind person. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for treatment.

Fantastic experience: Ray is awesome! You can tell he truly cares about helping you feel better. His passion shows in his work. I will definitely be going back to him and I also refer others to him. I went to see him with a problem in my upper back and he took great care of me. He got me back on the mats faster, no doubt about it.

Fantastic experience: As a college athlete, I use acupuncture and cupping for injury prevention. Ray is an awesome guy highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Ray is the best when it comes to getting your body feeling great. Coming off of back surgery Ray has help me get my body back right to play in the NFL. He explains everything that he does and how the needles and cupping works for the specific area that he’s treating.

Fantastic experience: Ray is Amazing! I have suffered from chronic back pain for 10+ years. I would rely heavily on ibuprofen, tiger balm, and heat to help alleviate my symptoms. Thankfully, I was referred to Dr. Ray Roman and he has changed my life. I am now on my way to living a life free from back pain. Ray is extremely thorough and knowledgeable. Upon my first visit, he educated me on how to better help my symptoms without further aggravating my back. A lot of what I had been doing was only further aggravating my symptoms. This information was extremely helpful. Before going to my first session, I was a little skeptical of both cupping and acupuncture. As soon as I met Ray, he instantly put my mind at ease. He thoroughly explained what he was doing step by step. He took pictures of each step and showed me as I was going through the process. This really helped me remain calm and informed as I was laying on my stomach for most of the treatment. I have had 3 sessions with Ray and have had amazing improvement. I no longer struggle with pain during repetitive activities like I used to. Ray has truly restored my faith in being able to live pain free. I recommend everyone that struggles with pain to see Ray.

Fantastic experience: Ray is absolutely amazing. He specializes in orthopedic issues but helped me get through a work day with a stomach bug. I was seconds away from heading home before Ray worked his magic. He is incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and approachable. His combination of being licensed in physical therapy and acupuncture is very unique and makes his sessions more complete and efficient than an acupuncturist or PT alone. If you are looking for acupuncture, there is no other option.

Fantastic experience: Ray has worked with my husband and absolutely loved his experience, so it was only right I had to see him too! I had some pain in my upper back for quite some time causing some tingling/numbness all down my arm. Ray did an outstanding job explaining to me what he was doing to help eliminate my pain and things I could do on my own to help. It only took one session with him and what a huge difference I’ve noticed! He’s very personable and outgoing. My husband and I feel very comfortable coming to him and feel confident he will take very good care of us every time. Do yourself a favor and see Ray, he will get you right guaranteed.

Fantastic experience: Ray is extremely knowledgeable in his craft! This was my first acupuncture experience and Ray was able to educate me about my body’s limitations and the reasons behind his chosen treatment methods. His integrative technique of acupuncture, cupping, and ART was beautifully blended together to improve my low back pain and tightness after just one session! Ray is an expert and I highly recommend his services! Thanks again!

Fantastic experience: Ray is so awesome! I’ve been nursing shoulder blade/rib pain for 3 months now due to my awful golf swing. Finally came to Balance Point Therapy with Ray for my first integrative sports medicine treatment after seeing slow recovery with 6 weeks of rest and self-treatment. My first ever experience of sports acupuncture and cupping with Ray was amazing from start to finish. After listening to all of my symptoms, he explained to me exactly what he was going to do during the treatment along with the why. He not only addressed the specific area of pain on the back of my body but also worked on the front of the body which he said was also part of problem. After the treatment, he told me that I should feel a little better every day. Sure enough, 5 days later, I feel a significant difference in pain. I have zero pain when moving my neck, no longer have pain with sneezing, and most importantly, I hit some golf balls for the first time in 6 weeks …with minimal discomfort during and no increased pain the next day! I managed to snag some pics he took of me while I was lying on my stomach to show me what he was working on. Thanks Ray! I’ll definitely be coming to you again.

Fantastic experience: Ray is awesome. Came to see him after years of dealing with a mixture of problems related to my shoulders, upper back and neck. I have old AC shoulder injuries that healed poorly in conjunction with years of terrible forward head/rounded should posture. I had been seeing progress with chiropractics, and traditional PT but no matter how much progress I made, I still had extreme tightness and muscle pain. Ray is extremely personable, knowledgeable and attentive. He genuinely wants to see you succeed! I have seen him a handful of times and got SO much relief and insight into my pain. Grateful I found him and I highly recommend to anyone battling with injuries and/or pain.

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Ray about a month ago and met with him to get help with chronic nerve pain. I've been struggling to get out of pain for about 1.5 years and feel like I've tried everything: physical therapy, massage, dietary changes, cryotherapy, chiropractic work, yoga, etc. I also had x-rays, MRIs, and about every other procedure you can imagine. You name it I tried it. All of which had a very minimal impact on my symptoms. Being skeptical of all of these professionals, Ray was the only one who I can truly say understood what was causing my pain and knew how to treat it. After just one session, I noticed a reduction of my symptoms, and they continue to improve to this day. He is very skilled in his profession and am lucky to know that I am finally on the right track with living my life pain free again.

Fantastic experience: Really helped out my injury, love this place!

Fantastic experience: Ray is definitely one of the best in the business! One of the most knowledgeable and hardworking individuals in the industry; he really cares for his patients and does what he can to get them back to 100% again. His holistic approach to identifying the problem and finding a solution is what separates him from the rest. A combination of cupping, acupuncture, and manual therapy really helped alleviate my shoulder pain. I’ve heard nothing but good things about Ray but never had any work done by him until now. I’m glad he helped me out! What’s really awesome about Ray is his personality. He really cares for his patients and takes time to connect with each one them. His welcoming personality and humor will help alleviate any anxiety or uneasiness about your pain. He’ll make you feel like you’ve known him for years! I would highly recommend getting work done by Ray, because he is truly one of the best out there. Whether it’s for pain, injury, or recovery for sport, go see this man!

Fantastic experience: Ray is the real deal. I came in with an upper neck issue I've been dealing with for 2 years and after a few sessions I got some serious relief and have been able to work out again.

Fantastic experience: Ray is the absolute man! Very professional, knowledgeable and always going the extra mile to make sure he “gets you right”! I came in with a locked up lower back, Ray threw the cups on, performed some awesome techniques while explaining exactly what he was doing! Best experience, I will never go to another PT.

Fantastic experience: I've had the pleasure to be treated by Ray for the past two months and I give him much kudos for helping with my right rotator cuff injury. I hit a plateau with regular PT after four months when I was introduced to Ray. From the onset, Ray took the time to listen to where I was and offered up his perspective and expertise. I'm happy to say that after just two treatments, my shoulder started feeling better as he was able to open up the areas around my injury through acupuncture, cupping and different stretches. With the combination of PT and Ray's therapy, I'm happy to say that I am back on track to the road to recovery. Ray is very personable and well-seasoned as he has worked with so many people. He is always upbeat and has a positive attitude. He provides a unique experience being trained in both eastern and western styles of healing, which has been very effective.

Fantastic experience: Ray is a gem in the business of wholistic sports care. He truly looks at the human body and yours specifically to come up with a plan on how to help you. He is compassionate and personable and truly listens and takes his time with the care he gives you. His was my first experience with acupuncture therapy, but I can tell from his past experiences, his knowledge, and how he works that it is truly unique from what you might get with others. I wants to make you feel better, and it is what truly brings him joy, to get you back to feeling 100%. Even though he works with a lot of high end athletes and people, I encourage you to go see him, and experience his care, no matter if you are an athlete or not.

Fantastic experience: Was recommended to Dr. Ray Roman thru a friend. I normally run 3-4 miles a day and recently developed a painful, recurring calf strain. He worked on my calf for about 30 minutes with some gentle massage and then acupuncture. Being my first time, I was a tiny bit hesitant. But I can assure you that there was no pain whatsoever. I felt a little soreness afterwards, but I woke up the next morning wanting to run again, it was that good. It was as if the strain had never happened. Ray is extremely professional and informative and I would go back immediately for any other sports injuries.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Balance Point for little over a month now and I love their practice. I specifically come for the accupuncture done by Ray, and let me tell you, he is GREAT! He really understands what your body is feeling and more importantly, he listens. What I really enjoy the most is his personality, he tries to make everyone feel welcome, even people who aren't his patients. As far as the actual needles, they aren't that bad at all. Obviously they aren't for everyone, but he gives you breathing techniques and lets you know what, why, and how he is using the needles. It's not a game of "operation" that we used to play as kids Overall, I believe this is a must see experience, I can write and say great things all day. But until you have done and tried everything else to help your pain go away, I would give Ray and the people at Balance Point Therapy a call and see what they can do.

Fantastic experience: Never considered cupping before talking with Ray about my shoulder pain. One visit and I was able to get back to weight lifting at the gym. Ray is amazing

Fantastic experience: I have known Ray for many years and he continues to surprise me !! Not only does he have a non profit organization (Netz4Life) but he is also one of the best physical therapist who is very knowledgeable!!! Recovering from a meniscus repair, I have been having a pain in my quad tendon and Ray has been helping me not only with acupuncture but with valuable advice on how to get back on the court as quickly as possible. Definitely would recommend him to anyone especially athletes who are dealing with pain or overcoming an injury! Thanks Ray !!

Fantastic experience: I have been dealing with shoulder pain for over two years now through my basketball until I went in and saw Ray. I had two surgery's in June of 2016 and 2017 to repair my labrum in my shoulder one of which was to fix a labrum that was 7/8th torn. Every since the initial injury pain has always been a problem and I was only able to manage it so much through physical therapy. I went in and was treated by Ray and this is the best my shoulder has felt since before my injury. It feels great I have little to no pain at all thanks to him. Athlete or not I would highly recommend Ray to anyone seeking that relief as his highest priority is helping to not only stop the pain, but fix the issue so it doesnt come back.

Fantastic experience: I came to Ray for chronic hamstring pain and after dealing with this pain for about 8 months - and having tried everything else, from yoga to stretching to chiropractic visits to standard physical therapy - his use of integrative sports acupuncture after just 2 sessions already has me feeling so much better than I have in months! Ray is super smart and I would recommend him to anyone dealing with chronic muscle pain!

Fantastic experience: Ray at Balance Point Therapy is an amazing clinician. His passion and extensive experience in the field allow him to create a very personalized approach for his clients. The first time I ever received accupuncture and cupping was from Ray for a chronic shoulder injury. He took the time to educate me on his process, making it more meaningful and comfortable. After, I experienced less discomfort and higher range of motion. I was so satisfied with the results I went back to Ray for treatment on my calf after running the Boston Marathon. Would definitely recommend Balance Point Therapy!

Fantastic experience: Awesome experience - diminished pain (hips & back) and enhanced healing process. Ray Roman is a passionate pro at this while integrating advanced PT techniques with acupuncture.

Fantastic experience: Ray is the man! I have been lucky enough to receive several treatments with Ray for meniscus irritation and low back pain. Each visit has been highly beneficial in pain relieve and improved function. I have to say I hate needles, and was a bit apprehensive at first, but Ray has the ability to perform all of his treatments with your comfort at the forefront of his mind. The acupuncture and cupping was a breeze with Ray. I have received other acupuncture treatments before by others and the acupuncture (dry needling) with Ray was by far the most comfortable, and actually pain free. Ray is a professional in every aspect of the word. He has not only used active release techniques, acupuncture and cupping to successfully help me, but has given me valuable information in how to continue down the road of pain relief, all while being one of the friendliest and personable guys I have ever had the pleasure of being around. Ray is incredibly knowledgeable and has a plethora of ways to help improve the health and well being of people. All around great experiences, I look forward to the next treatment and I would highly recommend receiving treatment from Ray.

Fantastic experience: I've been dealing with plantar fasciitis. Ray was able to work his magic by not only treating the site of pain but the whole chain link causing my issues. Whenever I asked questions he always gave me full details of what he was doing and what we were trying to achieve. Which calmed my nerves and gave me full sense confidence.

Fantastic experience: Excellent integrative therapeutic experience. My introduction to Ray was 2 years ago, it was only two weeks after an accident, which broke an arm and 3 shoulder bones. My goal was 100% shoulder usage without surgery. Through his professional physical therapy I have 99.9% usage today. Many techniques were necessary and utilized. A year later, a soft tissue injury around my knee was rehabbed primarily with acupuncture and cupping. Recently I recommended my husband work with Ray to realign his rotator cuff which has returned to normal.

Fantastic experience: Ray Roman is one of the best physical therapist and acupuncturist I have ever worked with. He takes time to get to know the patient and the pain they are suffering. Recovering from an ACL and a scar tissue removal, Ray really helped me find what was needed to recover faster and without pain. I highly recommend Balance Point Therapy.

Fantastic experience: My experience with Balance Point Therapy has truly been amazing. Ray is very professional and listens to my ailments and performs a different treatment on me every time depending on my symptoms. He was able to provide me individualized treatment in my home when I couldn't make it to the office due to flare ups. I was hesitant about acupuncture, but his Integrative Sports Acupuncture techniques have really helped in minimizing my symptom exacerbation. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a great acupuncturist that combines Eastern and Western strategies to alleviate your root cause of pain. Thanks Ray, you're the BEST!!!

Fantastic experience: Ray is a phenomenal clinician. His extensive education and diverse background allows him to provide an unique and meaningful experience for each patient/client. He takes the time to explain exactly what he is doing and why he is doing it. I would highly recommend Balance Point Therapy!
