S'pore woman gets dark purple bruising from wooden board treatment, wellness centre apologises & offers free treatment
The bruising did not fade even after a couple of days.
A Singaporean woman named Wu experienced severe dark purple bruising after undergoing a cupping therapy session at a wellness centre near Serangoon Central. Wu, who had been suffering from neck and shoulder pain for years, visited the centre on August 13 to try a promotional moxibustion treatment for S$99. During the 10-minute session, the staff performed a scraping therapy, also known as pai sha, on her legs without fully explaining the procedure beforehand.
Wu described the pain as excruciating, likening it to being punished in an ancient Chinese drama. After the session, Wu noticed large, dark purple bruises covering her legs, making it difficult for her to shower or move comfortably. The wellness centre manager apologized to Wu multiple times and offered to provide free follow-up treatments to help her recover, stating that they did not disclose the full details of the procedure during the session.
By August 17, Wu's bruises had not yet faded, and she urged the public to be more cautious and informed before undergoing such treatments.
