What clients say about the cupping here
“I had been having back pain and the deep tissue massage from Ben was exactly what I needed.”
“These guys are actual professionals that dig into the exact right places, not just rub you gently.”
From the reviews
I had been having back pain and the deep tissue massage from Ben was exactly what I needed. I will be coming back to try the massage paired with cupping.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 We chose this place on a whim. The father and son that operate this parlor were kind and easy-going. The father, who was trained in China, taught his son his methods. They ask you what you would like, and they deliver.
I wrote this google review after 4 months treatment here at Herbs Deep Tissue Massage. I have had back issue since 2 years ago and have seen so many doctors both in Boston and Shanghai. I tired all kinds of treatment you can think of but nothing works for me.
Went to this guy in 2012 and have never found someone as good as him again. I knew someone who could no longer bend down or stretch and doctors were only recommending very strong drugs for the pain in her muscles.
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.
