From the reviews

I was both excited and a bit apprehensive about trying cupping, as I’ve been dealing with persistent tension in my shoulder. To my delight, the session provided almost instant relief—something that regular massages hadn’t been able to achieve. Even days later, I’m still amazed at how much better I feel.

★★★★★ — Alicia, Jan 2025

I visited Dr. Liu due to persistent sleep issues that had lasted over two weeks, along with stress-related back and waist pain from a demanding schedule. Dr. Liu was incredibly patient and thorough in listening to my concerns, analyzing the root causes, and recommending massage and acupuncture to relieve muscle…

★★★★★ — Mia, May 2025

I had significant shoulder pain for a long time mostly due to computer use for many years. I have seen many doctors including a orthopedic surgeon and many physical therapists. It is only after just one session with Dr Liu (composed of medical massage by himself and dry needling) that the pain went away.

★★★★★ — Hc, Mar 2025

This was my first experience with acupuncture and I will definitely be back! Dr. Liu was very attentive with hearing my areas of concern regarding insomnia, chronic stress, and shoulder/back pain. The medical massage and acupuncture session left me feeling much more relaxed. 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.
