From the reviews

**UPDATE** went back to Tai Kang Spa to see Lu again, but this time had her do a 90 min massage - her skills & wide variety of techniques made this massage one of the best I’ve ever had!!

I woke up one morning with stiff neck and shoulders. She was able to fit me in on same day appointment. I loved the experience overall: hot stones, scalp massage, cupping, heat pad, and being walked on. My mom loved the experience too!

★★★★★ — Thinick, Sep 2025

Got a deep tissue massage with cupping for my tense shoulder and back. It was very good. The masseuse was very attentive and did a great job. One of the few places I would recommend for people who have tense muscles.

★★★★★ — Lulu, Nov 2025

One of the best massages my partner and I have had all year! We are so pleased with the experience, atmosphere, and welcoming nature of Tai Kang Spa! Conveniently located off Boston Turnpike, yet its own peaceful and serene world upon entering. Wonderful service we are happy to return to each week!

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.
