What clients say about the cupping here
“I've sometimes experienced doctors or other health professionals getting impatient with questions or answering in a way that makes it seem like it's a silly question - Maitul is the exact opposite.”
“Maitel listens well and offered very professional support as I recovered from a broken leg (surgical repair) after a skiing accident.”
“The location inside the gym is convenient for when workouts required machines.”
From the reviews
Maitul is wonderful. I would recommend him to everyone I know. He listens carefully and patiently to every concern and question, and always has a thoughtful and kind answer.
A relative of mine who had a similar knee problem recommended Maitul Patel after he helped her walk again unassisted after only 3 months of treatments. I was diagnosed with a Baker cyst behind my left knee, tears in the meniscus and possible tendon damage from twisting the knee.
Maitul Patel is highly knowledgeable, helpful, and patient. He listens carefully and is clearly very experienced at what he does. He helped me recover from a lower back injury that was preventing me from running. He recommended targeted exercises and stretches to build strength and help my muscles recover.
I was diagnosed with meralgia paresthetica, numbness of my right thigh. I looked for a physical therapist near my home. After placing a call, I was grateful and very impressed with the immediate response I received from Maitul Patel. He verified my insurance and I started the first of 12 treatments within a few days.
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.
