From the reviews

…Cupping has been a wonderful new discovery. AMAZING!!!! Very professional and caring environment. I'd recommend to anyone.
Dr. Max is an exceptional -highly experienced, gifted, appealing- healing practiitioner; he helped my elderly mother a great deal. I came with an open mind, and no particular physical complaints -had an experience that was profoundly calming, and grounding.
Yong Kang Clinic is one of my happy places. Michael Max performs his healing services with care and attention, in a relaxing and comfortable environment. His podcast and newsletter are informative and insightful. If you are considering this type of healing, I highly recommend this clinic.
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.
