What clients say about the cupping here
“Through diagnostic massage, Laura Gries provided me with a plan of care which includes core exercises and yoga which resolved my lower back pain.”
“Laura was my masseuse, she was very professional and gave an incredible massage.”
“Before each session, she takes time to check in and really listen - asking how I’m feeling physically and mentally, and what areas need extra attention.”
“Things move due to tension being released and relaxing, NOT because things were FORCED beyond their comfort zone.”
“Together, they created an environment of healing, support, and genuine care that made all the difference in my recovery.”
“The first time I had a massage from her she had me stretched out on the floor and was twisting me up like a pretzel.”
From the reviews
Dr. Adam Gries gets results! His customized therapy catalyzes both immediate resolution for acute health needs and progressive healing of chronic issues. You can feel the difference during and after a session. Additionally, he couples his proven acupuncture skills with insightful mind-body coaching.
Dr. Adam Gries through acupuncture and coaching has taught me how to take charge of my health and care of self (physically and emotionally). I am so much more aware of what my body is trying to tell me.
Dr. Gries resolved my allergy. After years of increasingly severe reactions to garlic - One visit and three weeks later I am enjoying garlic with no issues. Amazing result! Thank you Awakenings Health!
I have been seeing Dr. Adam Gries and wife Laura now for a couple years. They make an amazing team and I truly can't say enough good things about them. I started seeing Dr. Adam a few years back for Acupuncture. I live in Chronic pain, and have been for close to 15 years now. After each visit with Dr.
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.
