From the reviews
I discovered this place on Groupon and initially came for cupping. Boy was I glad I found this place because I kept coming back for the massage. I walk out a new person after the visit thanks to Tony!
I highly recommend Dr. Li for acupuncture treatments. He is knowledgeable, professional, and attentive. I got 20 times acupuncture and cupping treatments and I've seen significant improvements in my neck pain. The clinic is clean and welcoming, If you're looking for an excellent acupuncturist, Dr. Li is the best.
I had great experience with Dr. Li in the past 4 months of treatments. He is very knowledgeable and really help speed up my recovery with acupuncture and cupping sessions. Highly recommended anyone to see Dr. Li if you are experiencing any pain or discomfort.
Tong De is a wonderful small practice in the Castro. Tony Li has been treating me with acupuncture since September 2022. Tony kindly saw me without an appointment late on the Friday before Labor Day weekend. I had been unable to walk without pain. By the third session he had me walking again with no pain!
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.
