What clients say about the cupping here
“Sidenote; I can be a bit complicated to work on due to hyper mobility and he was able to adjust without any hesitations which is rare for me to experience and greatly appreciated.”
“I appreciated how thoroughly he assessed my needs and explained what he was doing throughout the sessions, making the entire experience both effective and reassuring.”
“Additionally he took the time at our session to ensure he showed me exercises to address muscular imbalances I have with specific pointers regarding form so that I would be safe in doing so.”
“Armored Massage is in a centralized location that’s easy to access, welcoming, and set up in a way that immediately put me at ease.”
“The tailored sports massage was exactly what I was looking for to help with my nagging aches and pain from volleyball and working out.”
“Stephen's warm and welcoming demeanor put me at ease immediately, and I could tell that he truly cared about understanding my needs.”
From the reviews
One of the best massages I have ever had. He has an excellent understanding of the human body and how the muscles work together (and against each other). He uses a variety of modalities and techniques that make his body work extremely effective.
Stephen's massage business was a true gem, and I have my husband to thank for discovering it. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the calming atmosphere of his home-based studio.
Stephen performed the best muscle and sports massage that I have ever received. I have had a headache for 3 days, and after the massage the headache is now gone! He asked pointed questions which gave him a better idea of focused points to work.
Outstanding communication, listening, knowledge and exceptional skills on the massage table. Professional yet personalized approach made this one of the best massages I’ve had anywhere I’ve lived or traveled.
What to expect from your first cupping session
New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.
