From the reviews

…I found the same relief through cupping and acupuncture treatments. Since my initial visits for chronic back pain several years ago, I have continued to see JoseLo as a way to manage stress, balance hormones and support overall my overall health.

★★★★★ — Rebecca, Jan 2023

I don't write reviews typically but Joselo is such an exceptionally talented and well read practitioner others need to know. DC you have one of the best! From the intake form/notes he actually reads & builds on for your visits, to the zen vibe, & pay what you can scale-- this is a precious place of healing & insight.

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.
