The Anchor Flow approach

Targeted suction therapy for muscular tension, mobility and post-activity recovery.

Cupping uses controlled suction to lift superficial tissue and create space through areas that feel tight or congested. Glass or silicone cups may be held in place or moved gently along the skin.

Many people choose cupping for neck, shoulder and back tension, especially after desk work, travel, strength training or repetitive movement. It may also be included within a full acupuncture visit when clinically appropriate.

Good care starts with fit. A complimentary 10-minute call can help you decide whether this service—or another kind of support—is the right next step.
What to know

Clear expectations,
before you arrive.

People often explore it for

  • Neck, shoulder and upper-back tension
  • Post-exercise recovery and mobility
  • Desk-related stiffness
  • Myofascial restriction
  • A sense of heaviness or tightness in a specific area
  • Relaxation when needles are not desired

What your visit may include

  • Dr. Rupali reviews the area of concern, your skin and any relevant medical history.
  • Cups are placed with a level of suction matched to your comfort and may remain for several minutes.
  • Temporary circular marks are expected and can range from light pink to deep purple.
  • Aftercare includes hydration, warmth and avoiding intense heat or exercise for the rest of the day.

Safety & screening

Cupping can leave visible marks for several days. It may not be appropriate over broken skin, active infection, inflamed veins or for people with certain bleeding conditions or medications. Disclose all relevant conditions before treatment.

Self-pay + superbills

Standalone cupping is self-pay. If cupping is included within an eligible acupuncture visit, the superbill reflects the documented visit; reimbursement remains your insurer’s decision.
