cupping

Cupping is a modern adaptation of the ancient art of cupping therapy. While massage performed by applying pressure, cupping instead uses negative pressure to pull, lift, open and expand the body’s soft tissues.

Cupping can stimulate the release of endorphins, the body's natural pain relievers. It may also improve blood circulation and reduce inflammation, which can help alleviate pain from conditions such as muscle strains, back pain, and arthritis. 

Improved Blood Circulation: The vacuum created by cupping draws blood to the surface of the skin, which can improve circulation and oxygenation. This may benefit conditions such as poor circulation, cellulite, and varicose veins. 

Reduced Stress and Anxiety: Cupping therapy can promote relaxation and reduce stress hormones. It may also stimulate the release of endorphins, which have mood-boosting effects. 

Therapeutic Options

Our menu is always evolving and growing. There are a few therapeutic options that will always be there:

Cupping

Myofascial Release and Facilitated Stretching

Designed to remove severe tension, deep tissue massage is a technique used to relieve both muscles and connective tissue below the surface. It helps to improve range of motion and heal injuries below the surface.

Deep tissue massage offers a range of therapeutic benefits that go beyond simple relaxation. One of its primary advantages is pain relief—it helps alleviate discomfort caused by muscle tension, knots, and injuries by improving blood flow and circulation, which in turn reduces inflammation. Additionally, it enhances flexibility and range of motion by targeting tight muscles and breaking down scar tissue. Deep tissue massage also supports stress reduction by promoting relaxation and stimulating the release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers and mood enhancers. For those recovering from injuries or surgery, it can accelerate the healing process by improving circulation and lymphatic drainage, helping to eliminate waste products and support tissue repair. Athletes, in particular, may benefit from deep tissue massage, as it can reduce pain, increase flexibility, and enhance recovery—ultimately contributing to improved performance.

​

Myofascial release is a form of physical therapy for myofascial pain syndrome, a chronic pain disorder caused by sensitivity and tightness in muscle tissues.

Myofascial pain often occurs due to tightness/contraction of muscles and the thin tissues surrounding them, known as fascia. Tightness in specific areas can occur in the immediate area (localized) or other parts of the body (referred).

The pain may originate from specific points within your myofascial tissues called “trigger points.” Myofascial release focuses on reducing pain by easing the tension and tightness in the trigger points.
