From the reviews

I had the best experience, and I was so nervous because I had never had cupping done before, but I was warmly welcomed by Josephine and she quickly put me at ease. She explained the procedure and the benefits and answered all my questions.

★★★★★ — Heather, Sep 2020

Very pleased with Rapha Acupuncture, Ive been doing the cupping services for about 3 weeks straight now and I can tell the difference. I had quite a bit of pain on my back from exercising and I can barely feel anything now.

★★★★★ — Guillermo, Jul 2022

I recently visited Rapha Acupuncture for a cupping session. My practitioner was extremely thorough in explaining how the procedure would go and what to expect afterwards.

★★★★★ — Euphemia, Nov 2024

Lovely lovely place first time trying cupping and was assessed thoughtfully while learning about the process. Everyone is extremely kind and caring in this calming atmosphere. I was anxious at the beginning of my first session and left extremely relaxed.

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.
