From the reviews
…I came in with back pain and stress, and after just a few sessions of acupuncture and cupping, I felt a huge difference. The atmosphere is clean, calm, and relaxing — exactly what you want when focusing on wellness. They take the time to explain everything and tailor each treatment to your specific needs.
…I tried acupuncture and cupping, and both were amazing. The needles were painless, and the cupping released so much tension from my shoulders and back. I left feeling lighter, less bloated, and more relaxed than I have in a long time.
…What makes them stand out: they also offer acupuncture and cupping as part of traditional Chinese medicine. If you’ve got chronic pain, fatigue, or just energy that feels “off,” these treatments work wonders. I tried cupping for my shoulder knots, and the difference was night and day. Best part?
…The acupuncture is basically painless and the cupping does things for shoulder tension that no massage ever has for me. Super easy to get to from Court Sq too. Just go, and ask for Helen.
What to expect from your first cupping session
New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.
