I
debated
leaving
a
review
because
this
is
a
small
business
but
I
feel
like
it's
necessary
given
my
experience.
I
booked
the
"cupping
massage"
and
there
are
so
many
red
flags
about
my
experience.
Most
alarmingly,
after
confirming
with
a
clinical
provider
after
the
fact,
the
cupping
technique
used
here
is
inconsistent
with
safety
measures
or
best
practices.
I
was
in
extreme
distress
after
this
appointment
-
the
approach
was
so
aggressive
and
nonsensical
it
made
me
feel
ill
for
two
days
after.
Additionally,
the
bruises
were
not
reflective
of
proper
cupping
technique.
I
am
an
active,
healthy
adult
with
no
circulation
issues
and
it's
been
well
over
a
week
and
many
of
my
marks
have
yet
to
clear
up.
Many
of
them
persist
with
broken
capillaries
and
lingering
soreness.
Additionally,
my
massage
therapist
refused
to
remove
some
cups
that
caused
extreme
pain
and
then
insisted
on
moving
my
arm.
It
was
so
painful
and,
unsurprisingly,
those
are
some
of
the
most
egregious
marks
left
on
my
body.
It
also
felt
invasive
and
deeply
uncomfortable.
Lastly
(and
given
the
above,
unsurprisingly),
I
never
felt
any
improvement
from
this
service.
I
followed
all
of
their
"guidelines"
and
was
left
feeling
worse
than
when
I
walked
in
for
treatment.
I
did
ultimately
receive
a
refund
which
I
am
grateful
for
because
the
funds
will
be
used
to
see
a
PT
this
week
for
*actual*
relief
instead.
I
cannot
speak
to
the
other
services
offered
here,
but
I
would
never
recommend
the
cupping
to
anyone
under
any
circumstances.
I
went
here
on
the
suggestion
of
a
friend.
Learn
from
my
mistake
and
if
you're
interested
in
cupping,
check
out
any
of
the
certified,
clinical
physical
therapists
in
the
city
with
sound
experience
and
technique.
