You’re dealing with pain that won’t quit. Maybe it’s your lower back after a long day, neck tension from staring at screens, or that stubborn knee pain that flares up every time you try to stay active.
Cupping therapy works by increasing blood flow to tight, painful areas. The suction pulls fresh oxygen and nutrients to muscles that have been starved of circulation, which means less inflammation, looser tissue, and actual relief you can feel.
Most people notice a difference after the first session. Your range of motion improves. That constant ache starts to fade. You can move through your day without wincing or adjusting how you sit, stand, or sleep.
This isn’t about masking symptoms. It’s about helping your body heal the right way so you can get back to doing what matters without pain holding you back.
We’ve been serving Long Island families since 2010. We specialize in home-based care for people who find it difficult to travel to a clinic, whether that’s due to mobility issues, recovery from surgery, or just the reality of a packed schedule.
Our therapists are licensed, experienced, and trained in evidence-based techniques like cupping, manual therapy, and myofascial decompression. We accept Medicare and most commercial insurance, and you don’t need a referral to get started.
Wading River residents trust us because we show up on time, treat you like family, and focus on results. You’re not a number here. You’re someone we’re committed to helping feel better, move easier, and live without constant discomfort.
Your therapist starts with an assessment. We ask about your pain, what makes it worse, and what you’ve already tried. This helps us understand exactly where the problem is and how cupping fits into your overall recovery plan.
During the session, we place suction cups on the affected area for about 10 to 15 minutes. The suction draws blood to the surface, which loosens tight muscle fibers and reduces tension. Some people feel immediate relief. Others notice the difference over the next day or two as inflammation goes down and mobility improves.
We often combine cupping with other physical therapy techniques like stretching, manual therapy, or strengthening exercises. The goal isn’t just short-term relief but long-term improvement in how your body moves and feels.
After your session, you might see some circular marks where the cups were placed. That’s normal and fades within a few days. What lasts longer is the reduction in pain and the return of movement you thought was gone for good.

Each session is built around your specific needs. If you’re recovering from a sports injury, we focus on improving range of motion and reducing scar tissue. If you’re dealing with chronic lower back pain or neck stiffness, we target inflammation and muscle tightness that’s been building for months or years.
Cupping therapy is especially effective for conditions common among Wading River residents: tech neck from remote work, joint pain from aging, post-surgical recovery, and sports-related strains. We’ve worked with everyone from high school athletes to seniors managing arthritis, and the approach is always personalized.
You’ll also get education on what’s causing your pain and how to prevent it from coming back. We teach you stretches, posture adjustments, and movement patterns that support long-term health. The treatment doesn’t end when we leave your home.
Because we come to you, there’s no commute, no waiting room, and no rushing through traffic when you’re already in pain. You get one-on-one attention in a space where you’re comfortable, which makes a real difference in how quickly you recover.
Yes, and the research backs it up. Studies show that cupping therapy significantly reduces pain and improves function in people dealing with chronic lower back pain, neck pain, and joint issues. The suction increases blood flow, which helps reduce inflammation and loosen tight muscle tissue.
What makes it effective is that it addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms. When blood flow improves, your body can start healing areas that have been stuck in a cycle of tightness and pain. Most people feel a noticeable difference within the first few sessions.
That said, cupping works best when combined with other physical therapy techniques. We don’t just put cups on you and call it a day. We integrate cupping into a full treatment plan that includes stretching, strengthening, and movement education so the results last.
Yes. Cupping therapy is covered when it’s part of a physical therapy treatment plan, which is how we deliver it. We accept Medicare and nearly all commercial insurance plans, and most patients don’t need a referral to get started.
During your first visit, we’ll verify your coverage and explain what’s included. There’s no surprise billing or hidden fees. You’ll know upfront what your insurance covers and what, if anything, you’re responsible for.
If you’re unsure about your specific plan, just call us. We’ll walk you through it and make sure you’re covered before we schedule your first session. The goal is to make this as easy as possible so you can focus on getting better, not dealing with paperwork.
Most people describe it as a tight pulling sensation, but not painful. The suction creates pressure on your skin and the tissue underneath, which can feel intense at first, especially if the area is really tight or inflamed. But it’s not sharp or unbearable.
As the session goes on, your muscles start to relax and the sensation usually becomes more comfortable. Some people even find it soothing. If at any point it feels like too much, your therapist can adjust the suction level to make it more tolerable.
After the session, you might feel a little sore, similar to how you’d feel after a deep tissue massage. That soreness typically fades within a day, and what’s left is less pain, better movement, and a noticeable reduction in tightness. The temporary discomfort is worth the relief that follows.
It depends on what you’re dealing with. Acute injuries or recent flare-ups might respond in just a few sessions. Chronic pain that’s been building for months or years usually takes longer, often six to eight sessions before you see lasting improvement.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline after your first assessment. Some people feel better right away and just need a few sessions to lock in the progress. Others need ongoing treatment as part of a broader recovery plan that includes strengthening and mobility work.
The good news is that you’ll know pretty quickly if it’s working. Most people notice a difference within the first two or three visits. If you’re not seeing improvement, we adjust the approach or explore other techniques that might be a better fit for your specific condition.
Absolutely. Athletes use cupping therapy to speed up recovery, reduce muscle soreness, and improve range of motion. It’s especially effective for soft tissue injuries like strains, sprains, and overuse injuries that don’t respond well to rest alone.
The increased blood flow helps repair damaged tissue faster, and the suction breaks up adhesions and scar tissue that can limit your movement. If you’re dealing with a pulled hamstring, rotator cuff strain, or IT band tightness, cupping can be a game-changer in getting you back to full strength.
We work with a lot of local athletes in Wading River, from high school sports to weekend warriors who refuse to slow down. The treatment is safe, non-invasive, and can be done alongside other rehab work like strengthening exercises and mobility drills to get you back in the game faster.
Convenience and comfort. If you’re already in pain, the last thing you want to do is sit in a car, deal with traffic, and navigate a waiting room. We bring the same professional care to your home, which means you can relax in your own space and start treatment without the added stress.
Home-based therapy also works better for people with mobility issues, post-surgical recovery needs, or busy schedules that make clinic visits difficult. You get one-on-one attention without distractions, and your therapist can see how you move in your actual environment, which helps us give better recommendations.
For Wading River residents, this means no driving to Riverhead or Port Jefferson for treatment. We come to you, usually within a day or two of your first call, and we work around your schedule. It’s physical therapy designed for real life, not the other way around.
