What clients say about the cupping here
“I have had chronic back pain for nearly a decade that hasn’t been fixed by western physical therapy, chiropractic, or medication.”
“Yo Yo expertly treated some knots and chronic stiffness I have been experiencing in my back.”
“I really appreciate how the practitioners check in to make sure the pressure and everything is good, and they listen when I ask for specific areas to be focused on.”
“I'm not talking about the gentle relaxing Swedish kind of great, but the kind that's so deep and hurt that it makes you winced kind of great.”
“area was clean i enjoyed my 60 min massage can be painful but not in a bad way and my masseuse immediately addressed my concerns.”
“That said, the quality of the massage itself was truly worth it, and we would definitely consider returning for the treatment experience alone.”
“However, upon leaving, the interaction didn’t feel as warm or welcoming as it did at the beginning.”
From the reviews
I’ve been here several times now and each visit is always more amazing than the last. I have had chronic back pain for nearly a decade that hasn’t been fixed by western physical therapy, chiropractic, or medication. Traditional Chinese massage/tui na/moxibustion/cupping has been a godsend for my chronic pain.
I have chronic pain and this is the only place I have ever had massage that truly helped me feel pain free after my visit. I always request the Tui na massage, and I really appreciate the way they know exactly where to locate my pain points.
I was dealing with severe neck and shoulder pain and stiffness for the last 2 weeks. I tried all kinds of stretching, mobility exercises, rest, dry needling etc. Could barely turn my neck and was popping ibuprofen like candy to get by. I decided to try this place out and thank god I did.
Only place in Philly I’ll go for a massage at this point. I really appreciate how the practitioners check in to make sure the pressure and everything is good, and they listen when I ask for specific areas to be focused on.
Booking hijama (wet cupping) at Pain Away of Philly --- Chinese Medical Massage
Pain Away of Philly --- Chinese Medical Massage comes up as a provider that offers hijama — wet cupping, where the skin is lightly punctured after suction so a small amount of blood is drawn. If you're booking hijama specifically, a few things are worth asking before you go. First, sterility is everything — a reputable practitioner uses a fresh, single-use kit (new blades and cups) for every client and follows clean, gloved technique. It's completely fair to ask how they handle this. Second, many people booking hijama want a same-gender practitioner — a female practitioner is available here. Third, ask about aftercare and whether they observe particular days if that matters to you.
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.
