“Got fire cupping done here and had the BEST experience”
From the reviews
I have not got to exercise since Christmas break and even then it was short lived but I started walking Wednesday right after getting off from first job early and could only do 4 miles of mostly walking and little light jogging for my lower back and right leg running down into my right foot was to the point brought me…
Dr. Ruth is my go to for my thyroid issues! She is amazing and has helped me tremendously!!! I can’t even begin to thank her for all the help she has provided without taking any pills or medicine!
I had to see what this was all about. And even though I was skeptical, I could definitely feel something was happening. Wow. Incredible. Thank you.
This was my first acupuncture session. I was a bit nervous but it turned out to be a positive experience.
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.
