I found Khloe on Groupon for a 90 minute massage. She was very kind and gracious, especially when I…read morehad to reschedule a couple different times. When I did see her, she told me it would be a focused area massage on my neck, shoulders, and back. Prior to the appointment, I filled out and signed her online "form" which I indicated (twice) that I did NOT want fire cupping. While there, though, she explained that cupping would help, and it wouldn't take long. However, she left the cups on, and moved them around quite a bit, for the majority of the 90 minutes! I did tell her several times that it was hurting a lot, but she said that it meant "it was working," and continued to say, apologetically, "I know, I'm sorry!" At the end, she told me I had some blistering, so I needed to be careful of those. When I looked in the mirror, I was...HORRIFIED! There were several, red blisters raised 1/2-3/4 of an inch on my shoulder. (The picture speaks for itself.) I was told to put some heat on it, but that they would not hurt and were not infected. I was not given any other instructions how to treat them. I cried all the way home because I was so embarrassed, and I had to tell my husband that I actually paid to have this done to me. We made the choice to spend a lot of money on bandages, ointments, and lotions before figuring out a need for urgent care and/or counsel. It took 2 weeks of TWICE DAILY treatment, while I continued to cry often, as blisters continued to form and open on my back. They were, in fact, painful and VERY itchy!! (One picture is when the worst blisters drained as we were treating them). Please don't tell me this degree of blistering means it was "releasing toxins...or dampness....or whatever." She is not qualified to do this, she left them on for at least 60
minutes, and she did not want to spend the time doing an actual massage. I am not kidding when I say I am terrified to get a massage ever again.
