From the reviews
I just recently went back to HSQCA for the first time since quarantine/pandemic. I was impressed with the clinic's safety protocols and felt well taken care of. Since my treatment three days ago I've had two of the best nights of sleep in six months.
5 stars is not enough! I was visiting the US and suffering from a shoulder pain and they attended me on the same day and twice that week. They are helpful, caring and attentive. I felt listened to and they sent me so much peace.
it was a great experience staff is knowledgeable and friendly. My first time was wonderful! I will be back again thank you!
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.
