Why Carp Physio is listed — cupping is a treatment, not a Google category, so we only list a provider when there's real proof they offer it. Here's what we found: “ts? It’s like banging your head against a wall and taking some aspirin to ease the headache. Is that approach fixing anything? We probably have to address the head banging, or in our case, the movement impairment first. Cupping and IASTM…” source →

From the reviews

Carp Physio is such an awesome place. I had tons of pain related to a cervical nerve root injury that Dylan helped me work through with professionalism and grace. I was soOoOoO grumpy when I first started because of how much pain I was in, and I’m an active health care professional- I hated being on the other side!

★★★★★ — Cara, Nov 2025

I can’t say enough good things about this physical therapy office, so I’ll break it down by staff & expertise, facility, and vibes. Staff & expertise: Every single person here is incredibly talented and attentive. From Erica (front desk) to Dr.

★★★★★ — Desire, Jan 2026

I am so grateful for Carp Physio. When I first tore my ACL, I felt more worried about the recovery than I did about the surgery/reconstruction. I knew I needed help. I knew physical therapy would be my best friend so I wanted to work with people who really loved what they were doing.

★★★★★ — Savannah, Jun 2024

I could barely walk from my sciatica, and I had to go to work that day. I called for an immediate appointment and was told they were full. I begged and said, "Just show me one stretch to do so I could walk without so much pain and go to work. I swear I will only take 5 minutes of your time. Please.

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.
