Hey Scott, I'll save my 'cupping' treatment story (by my first acupuncturist years ago) for a later date.





"The most beautiful stones have been tossed by the wind and washed by the waters and polished to brilliance by life's strongest storms."

There is also a form of accupuncture over here, where they use suction cups.
I have not tried that one yet, but it does look interesting.
I was also waiting for some one to say how good it was.

Wayne, what's up with us tonight, must be ESP!

PM me any information you have on Cupping if you don't want to post it up.
It just looked interesting.
I have seen some locals over here, with the suction cup marks still on the backs.

Thanks
Wayne

Are you TRYING to freak me out?

scott

p.s.

You know, I'm the type of person that has to LOOK this stuff up if I see it.

Kathy,

There is no way in hell they are doing that to me. I can about imagine what your story is.

Scott

Don't be freaked out.

Explain to the accupuncturist what you are comfortable with trying. The needles are not a problem, they are so fine that you will not feel them going in. Remember you are in control of the session and can stop at any point. So have no fear.

For me, I was so desperate I was willing to try anything and they did.

Wayne,

They have that here too. It also incorporates something that smokes. Whatever it is, it is placed on the skin and then cups are then placed over it. I have also been hooked up to a machine that gave off electric pluses, it didn't help at all. There is even a place for Thai massages here in Suwon, but I think it may be of a different variety than pain relieving ones. Someday I want to go back to the beach on Ko Samet, it would be a good way to relieve pain, or at least to forget it.

Hi Scott,

Good luck

Don't worry, it's not hurt, well ........... maybe a little

Cheers,

Do you mean Koh Samui, near Phuket (South Thailand). I have not been to Koh Samui, but I have been to Phuket. It is nice, but is starting to get a bit touristy. I have heard Koh Samui is better.

Have you tried the Suction Cup treatment, just interested in anyone who has, and was it a good experience or a bad. I always like to see the good and the bad and then make a decision.
