From the reviews

I decided to update my healing process to help peoples who suffer from life long pain not to give up. I found this amazing healer. I gave Dr. Joel Kim five stars and and here's why. This is my first session with Dr Kim. In my opinion he is a one of a kind PT.

★★★★★ — V, Jul 2024

I came from the east coast to LA for an accelerated treatment for my daughter’s scoliosis. Personally, I had juvenile severe and pervasive scoliosis, completed brace treatment for 3+ years, countless PT treatments including chiropractic treatments, just to “contain progression” to finally end in an extensive surgery,…

★★★★★ — Veronica, Apr 2026

Joel Kim is a truly exceptional practitioner. He is extremely knowlegeable, skillful, and compassionate. I have gotten to know Joel in a few different capacities.

★★★★★ — Michelle, Jun 2025

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Joel on and off for several years, and I can’t speak highly enough of him. Joel has consistently improved, if not completely healed, every ailment I've encountered. His expertise is matched by his patience and attentiveness—he genuinely listens and is incredibly detail-oriented.

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.
