Enhance Your Massage with these Complimentary Therapies

Cupping Therapy

Cupping yields amazing results for serious complaints requiring deep tissue or clinical massage. It's safe, comfortable, and highly effective for many health conditions. Because pressure can be adjusted and its non-invasive, cupping is suitable for most clients.

​

Cupping is the application of suction to the body creating a negative pressure:

  • releases rigid soft tissue and joint stiffness

  • drains stagnant blood, lymph, and toxins

  • enhances relaxation and nervous system 

  • brings fresh blood flow to stagnant areas

​

Helps relieve symptoms from a wide variety of conditions:

  • Head/Neck/Face (sinus, headache, TMJ, whiplash, bells palsy, facial paralysis)

  • Shoulders/Arms (frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel symptoms)

  • Legs/Feet (shin splints, plantar fasciitis, foot drop, cramps, IT Band problems)

  • Spine related symptoms (SI joint pain, spinal stenosis, spondylosis, scoliosis, nerve root compression)

  • Pre- and Post-Surgery (scar tissue)

  • Sports Injuries and Prevention of Sports Injuries

​

A variety of cup styles and sizes are chosen based on the application and what's best for the client.

Gua Sha (Scraping)

Gua Sha involves using a range of tools to efficiently locate and treat soft tissue dysfunction. We use stone, stainless, titanium or ceramic tools to "scrape" the superficial tissues to help alleviate: 

  • Limited range of motion 

  • Pain

  • Motor control issues (muscle activation/coordination) 

  • Muscle recruitment issues 

​

Helps relieve symptoms from a wide variety of conditions:

  • Head/Neck/Face (headache, TMJ, whiplash)

  • Shoulders/Arms (frozen shoulder, tendinosis, rotator cuff injuries)

  • Legs/Feet (shin splints, plantar fasciitis)

  • Post-Surgery (scar tissue)

  • Sports Injuries

​

Benefits of this technique include improvements in range of motion, strength, and pain perception following treatment. Gua Sha may cause a person to experience the development of small spots on their skin. These spots are referred to as petechiae and they are not considered harmful.​
