From the reviews
…Traditional Chinese massage/tui na/moxibustion/cupping has been a godsend for my chronic pain. They always know exactly where to target. I also did a fully body lymphatic massage at pain away and I left feeling so much lighter. I actually weighed myself when I got home later in the evening and I lost 2 lbs!
…I've been here several times and I hope to try out the cupping and lymphatic massage next. The staff is Always amazing to interact with and very accommodating, the massages are incredible, and the atmosphere is warm and relaxing.
…I think she realized how messed up my neck and shoulders were and offered to do a quick cupping session for me. That night I slept through the night for the first time in 2 weeks. I woke up feeling pain free and refreshed.
…I also like tui na, gua sha and cupping, so it’s great that they offer those things. Unfortunate to see some other people’s experiences but all of mine have been great over the past some odd years. I wish I had never gone to a chiropractor years ago and just come here.
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.
