What clients say about the cupping here
“Kahlan has been an indispensable part of helping me deal with my hypermobility which is requiring me to relearn how to properly move my body.”
“I have had a wonderful experience at MVPT and confidently recommend them, especially to those who deal with chronic pain or if your symptoms have been dismissed by other medical professionals.”
“I have worked with several of the physical therapists here (and met or encountered most) and they have all been great: they have all taken the time to explain and teach.”
“Kahlan is always pleasant and upbeat and I whole heartedly recommend her to anyone struggling with mobility issues/recovery from surgery.”
From the reviews
I have been working with Kahlan and Alli for five months. They are such good therapists. I have a complicated and long-standing (years) issue that they are taking seriously, working hard to figure out exactly what is happening with my body and how to return to pain-free walking. I am not an athlete( not in any sense!
A friendly place where every physical therapist is very skilled and connectable. I have been here on two separate occasion (shoulder and knee rehab) that covered a good four months of my life, so far.
I started at MVPT after having my right knee replaced in November 2024. I was placed with Kahlan Liu as my therapist to help me regain full range of motion in my new knee.
I have had a wonderful experience at MVPT and confidently recommend them, especially to those who deal with chronic pain or if your symptoms have been dismissed by other medical professionals. The staff members are always friendly, personable, and helpful.
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.
