What clients say about the cupping here
“He was the only practitioner that understood how my neck was a big factor in my shoulder pain, and I can safely say that I started to improve after my first treatment with him.”
“He is extremely knowledgeable and sensitive and listened carefully to my husband and I and our unique issues with our shoulders.”
“He is extremely knowledgeable and sensitive and listened carefully to my husband and I and our unique issues with our shoulders.”
“With his training in sports medicine and Chinese medicine/acupuncture, Anthony was the first person to figure out what was going on, to connect some dots that others weren’t connecting.”
From the reviews
Anthony is a profoundly skilled acupuncturist. I had a 28-year-old painful shoulder injury that no one had been able to help until I started working with Anthony.
I have consistently received acupuncture from Anthony for over a year now and it has absolutely changed my life. As a former power lifter, multi-sport athlete, and mother, I had many old injuries and imbalances to address that were interfering with my new fitness goals.
Anthony is the best acupuncturist I've ever been to for my pain and injuries. He has treated me for a severe ankle sprain, where I came in unable to put any weight on it, and walked out.
Anthony excels in his field. He is extremely knowledgeable and sensitive and listened carefully to my husband and I and our unique issues with our shoulders. My husband had a dislocated shoulder injury that was bothering him for over a year (it kept wanting to dislocate again.
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.
