Supplemental Treatments

Cupping Therapy

Cupping is an ancient Eastern technique where glass cups are applied to the skin, creating a vacuum that lifts the skin and promotes blood flow to the underlying muscles. This method can decrease pain and stiffness while increasing range of motion. Fire Cupping Methods:

Russian Cupping: Sweeping passes from the head of the table to the client's feet, treating the back as necessary.
Flash Cupping: Rapidly placing and removing cups from the body, treating the entire back.
Greek Flash Cupping: Applying the cup with a small amount of force to create a compression effect, primarily focused on the ribcage for lung treatment.

Neck, Shoulder, Sinus, and Sports Cupping

Utilizing different sizes of silicone cups, this method targets specific areas to relieve tension and promote healing.

Ice/Heat Therapy

Depending on the client's needs, treatments can include moist and infrared heat or ice therapy to provide relief and enhance recovery.

Hot Rocks

The application of hot rocks during a massage increases blood flow, relieves chronic pain, reduces stress, and promotes deep relaxation, especially in colder weather. This method delivers deep penetrating heat to muscles and bones.

Gua Sha (Raking)

Gua Sha, or "raking," involves using a small, soft, flat instrument to scrape the back, drawing out tightness from the muscles. This technique increases fresh blood flow and nutrients to the area, decreasing pain and enhancing range of motion.

Kinesio Taping

Kinesio taping employs elastic cotton strips to relieve tension and pain from athletic injuries. It stabilizes the affected area, increases circulation, and facilitates easier movement without risking further injury.

Additional Therapies

CBD: Used for its anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties.

Aromatherapy: Enhances relaxation and well-being through the use of essential oils.
