From the reviews

…During my acupuncture & cupping treatment, he explained why my muscles were so tight & educated me on how each muscle can affect the other muscles in my body. The sooner you get relief, the easier it is for your body to heal. He also discussed preventative measures for maintaining a healthy back.

★★★★★ — Stacey, Oct 2023

…She intuitively knows just what to treat and I’ve benefited so much from the cupping and earseeds. She always exceeds my expectations and I leave the session feeling so grounded and peaceful. They are both gems. Try them—you won’t be disappointed.

★★★★★ — Taylor, Oct 2025

Here is my story. I was suffering with sciatic pain. Medication didn’t work, couldn’t walk, even stand up. Sitting in the bed and crawling in the house for over a month, crying from the sharp pain. I was recommended to go see Rory. 85% pain was gone after 2 sessions with him, then pain free after 4 sessions.

★★★★★ — Akiko, Apr 2023

About a year ago, I was looking for someone who does dry needling and was referred by a friend. I have been suffering from shoulder and back pain after an automobile accident and Rory is hands down the best. He has helped me tremendously with pain management and inflammation.

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.
