From the reviews
…I tried cupping for the first time and even though he informed me about the temporary marks that it leaves, I could not help but laugh when my coworkers asked what had happened to me the next day. He also spent time focusing on my problem areas with the hypervolt and “jigsaw”.
…He also does cupping and electrical stimulation. Dr. Andrew really gets to the area that is causing pain, and it can be a bit painful. If you’re someone who has a low threshold for pain, I wouldn’t worry as he can easily adjust the pressure to your liking. I have also seen Dr.
…We did a combination of resistance bands, scraping, deep massage, cupping (with movement as well), and some basic chiropractic adjustments. Which was all really intense and deep therapy. The combination of techniques really brought my mobility back to life after the session.
…Depending on what you need, you might get a wide range of things to help; including cupping, stretches, range of motion exercises, and massage. In addition to the treatment during the appointment, Dr. Andrew gives recommendations on exercises you can do at home to continue to get better. Dr.
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.
