What clients say about the cupping here
“I've been seeing doctors for years about my neck and shoulder pain and always get told to take massive amounts of ibuprofen, do physical therapy, and suffer.”
“Mei is very knowledgeable in her specialty and has an incredible perseverance and dedication in isolating the cause of the pain and devise the appropriate local treatment strategy.”
“She explain to me that a hysterectomy is not recommended as our organs are the engine of our bodies and should only be remove if is absolutely necessary.”
“The acupuncture, cupping, and massage protocols Mei used in treating my frozen shoulder alleviated the intense pain after my first visit.”
From the reviews
…The acupuncture, cupping, and massage protocols Mei used in treating my frozen shoulder alleviated the intense pain after my first visit. After several sessions with Mei, the stiffness and discomfort were totally eliminated and the mobility in my shoulder was completely restored.
…After going to Mei I immediately felt great benefit and pain relief from her acupuncture, massage of the specific area, and cupping. This was a glaring failure of Western medicine! I opted out of the MRI and neurological exam and I got progressively better with Mei's treatment.
…I was a bit hesitant to try acupuncture and cupping, but called Mei for a medical massage and she recommended the combination therapy (acupuncture, massage, and cupping), which I tried and the results were literally magical. I definitely had to relax and surrender to the process, and was well rewarded for it.
Mei is amazing! Been going to her for over a decade for multiple things, frozen shoulder, TPJ, COVID aftermath, and many more. She compliments with herbs, cupping, and other common esteem medicine practices.
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.
