We often accept the value of therapeutic massage for physical ailments. But we need to move in the direction of seeing its value in our mental health as well.

As the mental health epidemic continues in our country, many have become more open to seeking positive outcomes from mind-body approaches like massage. Through the power of therapeutic touch, massage offers an additional and alternative option to mental health ailments.

In fact, according to the AMTA, the University of Miami School of Medicine found that therapeutic massage lowered levels of the stress hormone (cortisol) by up to 53%. So beyond just "feeling good" massage actually positively effects the body's biochemistry to help treat conditions like depression and anxiety. As well as being a compliment to more standard medical approaches to our mental health.

In many of my therapeutic massage sessions I use cupping therapy to compliment the many other techniques I have in my "tool box" to help address the physical challenges you bring to the session.

Cupping, just like any other advance and specialized technique I am certified in, is included in each session at no additional cost. I see myself as a member of your medical team. So there is no "menu" of services, with additional charges for 'add-ons' like in spa massage settings.

My goal is for you to recover from injury and to be relieved of pain. Period. I will use all the necessary methods to get you there.

That being said, here's a little history and science on cupping therapy (in case you like that stuff) 🤓

While the exact beginnings of cupping remain unknown, it is generally thought to have developed over time from the original use of animal horns to drain toxins out of snakebites and lesions. Chinese medicine expanded it to assist with surgery sites and the practice so spread across ancient European countries.

It was used widely in the Americas in the 1800s and has had a surge of popularity again recently with its rise among popular athletes.

As the skin under the cup experiences suction, inflammation is drawn up from deep in the tissues and as circulation is brought to the surface, increased local blood supply allows for toxins to be carried away by way of the lymphatic system. Though the skin become red due to the intense circulation, cupping is not an irritant to the skin or body.

PS: I include this in your session for FREE!
PPS: Cupping is not required if you are uncomfortable with it. And it can have some contraindications, which I am highly familiar with. But we can discuss all of this at your free session.
