I had a wonderful experience working with Kristen Harlow at Baystate Physical Therapy in Ipswich. She was incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and truly a wealth of information. From my very first session, she made me feel supported and confident in my recovery.

★★★★★ — Lorraine, Nov 2025

I went to Bay State Physical Therapy in Ipswich to treat a pulled hamstring and nerve pain shooting from my lumbar spine down the back of my leg. My pain level was severe. I could not walk more than 5 minutes at a time and was not able to do most tasks at home.

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.
