From the reviews

…I also did traditional cupping with David and it was also a great experience. I always wanted to try it the traditional way and I enjoyed my experience. I almost fell asleep through the treatment I was so relaxed! I left feeling elevated and well cared for I would definitely recommend service here to anyone. Thanks!

★★★★★ — Shadiya, Feb 2025

I went to Open Flow Acupuncture for lower back and neck pain and had a 25 minute gua sha and cupping session with David. He was kind, attentive, and made me feel really comfortable explaining everything since this was my first time ever trying gua sha and cupping.

★★★★★ — Andrey, Dec 2025

David was great and very helpful. I did cupping with him to improve my athletic performance and release tension in my back and it worked very well. David even follows up with me after my appointment to make sure everything was going well.

★★★★★ — Ben, Aug 2025

I was having a great deal of swelling and pain 6 months after a total knee replacement. I had trouble sleeping, walking, standing up from sitting, and descending stairs, most activities of daily living. David took a detailed history, did a very thorough physical examination, and made excellent notes.

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.
