★★★★★ — Alexi, Jul 2023

Balanced Flow Wellness has been an absolute game-changer for me. As someone who trains seriously for strongman — with a brutal weekly regimen of heavy lifting, conditioning, and competition prep — I was looking for a way to push performance further while also improving recovery and long-term health.

★★★★★ — Rob, Sep 2025

This is LONG overdue....I fell down some stairs this past spring and after confirming a few days later I broke a rib in the fall and sprained my lower left back. I was in excruciating pain to the point of barely being able to walk normally and any slight wrong movement would put me in tears.

★★★★★ — Lauren, Aug 2024

I was having lower back pain for years that it sometimes woke me up at the middle of night. When I first visited Balanced Flow for consultation, Dr. Nolan Lee was very patient and professional that I immediately knew I can trust them to help me. Dr.

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.

Cupping isn't for everyone — if you're on blood thinners, pregnant, or have a skin condition or bleeding disorder, check with your doctor first, and always tell your practitioner about health concerns before a session. This page is directory information, not medical advice.
