What clients say about the cupping here
“I had an appointment at Thai Reed Sen for back and neck pain, and it was an amazing experience.”
“The ladies who took care of us (Penny and Annie) were absolutely wonderful—very professional, attentive, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the entire session.”
“During the first session Ploy took the time to listen to what was bothering me and knew right away how she could fix it.”
“Ploy and all the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere and ambience is absolutely lovely, and I left feeling completely relaxed and at peace inside and out.”
“I’ve been going to THAM for the past six months, and since my very first appointment, I’ve come to appreciate just how important massage therapy is for overall health, well-being, and recovery.”
“In addition to her skill, the location is clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with fresh air and a very relaxing environment that immediately puts you at ease.”
“After experiencing Thai massage for the first time here, I don’t know that I can ever go back to a regular massage, this was just the most incredible massage experience I’ve ever had.”
From the reviews
I went to this place today in a lot of pain and met with Ploy. She recommended the Advanced Nuad Kae Ar Karn treatment, which combines cupping and massage therapy. She was absolutely wonderful. I walked out feeling like a completely new person. She immediately understood exactly what was wrong with my back.
Today, I had a 90 minutes stretch massage session with Ploy. It began with relieving the pain from my right foot and knees. She proceeded to walking on my legs and back to relieve tension. Then came the suction cups and hot stones for my legs. I feel like a new women. THE BEST STRETCH SESSION I HAVE EVER HAD.
I cannot recommend Ploy Manee highly enough. I had a severe Sciatica nerve flare injury leading me unable to walk. When I first came to her, I was on crutches with significant nerve irritation.
10 stars out of 5, I can’t say enough good things about THAM. After experiencing Thai massage for the first time here, I don’t know that I can ever go back to a regular massage, this was just the most incredible massage experience I’ve ever had.
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.
