From the reviews

I've been to 6 different massage business in the Walla area. They all do a great job. Kumo is definitely different in offering various styles and methods. I walked in feeling tensed muscles and walked out feeling relaxed and ready to be active. The cupping and hands on massage are awesome. Highly recommended.

★★★★★ — Mario, Jun 2020

I highly recommend Kumo Acupuncture. I've had acupuncture, moxibustion, and cupping done by Roberto. The treatments have caused a decrease in my chronic pain. The office is a pleasant environment, and feels comfortable.

★★★★★ — The, Jan 2017

Roberto's warm energy and gentle voice made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked into the waiting room at Kumo. I had contacted him about a specific muscular back pain that had been ailing me for 6 weeks, and he suggested Tui Na Massage for my problem.

★★★★★ — Emma, May 2013

Dr. Roberto is my favorite medical practitioner ever! He's educated and intelligent, but I think he's also a natural healer. His energy puts you at ease, and he really listens to identify root causes and to learn the landscape of the patient he is working with.

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.
