From the reviews

My experience at Athletico was nothing short of amazing. While waiting for months to see a spine specialist and be approved for back surgery, Laura worked with me to help improve my mobility and gain strength. After surgery, I was excited to get to work and actually improve. Laura is the “bee’s knees”!!

★★★★★ — Ashley, Mar 2025

Brought my younger brother in and was thoroughly impressed. The staff assessed him efficiently, communicated the treatment plan clearly, and demonstrated genuine investment in his progress — not just moving him through the door. Clean facility, competent team, tangible results. Exactly what PT should be.

★★★★★ — Adam, Nov 2025

Outstanding physical therapy! I have been to several area physical therapy practices and Athletico is now my very favorite. I came away with a lot more knowledge about the source of my joint disorder, and I gained freedom from pain. What more could I ask for? The staff are incredibly helpful and encouraging.

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.

Cupping isn't for everyone — if you're on blood thinners, pregnant, or have a skin condition or bleeding disorder, check with your doctor first, and always tell your practitioner about health concerns before a session. This page is directory information, not medical advice.
