From the reviews

I've been experiencing back pain and Dr. Lamont has helped significantly reduce the issue. He uses myofascial release, graston technique, and even cupping to provide relief. He's also patience in answering questions and providing informed details of his treatment plan.

★★★★★ — Lee, Dec 2025

I’ve been going to Lamont for a couple of weeks since having reoccurring stiff neck and he has worked wonders on the soft tissue and nerves around my neck and back areas. Every morning after my appointment he leaves me feeling great for the rest of the day! I call this the Lamont Glow.

★★★★★ — Ivan, Aug 2025

Lamont Banks is professional, personable, and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend visiting him for any of your soft tissue needs. I initially went to see him for some chronic pain in my neck and shoulder area.

★★★★★ — Nick, Dec 2024

As a yoga teacher for 3 decades, I have a short list of healers. Lamont is on my A- list. On my first visit, he quickly assessed and implemented a plan that had the soft tissue of my back, hips and pelvis feeling free. He's highly professional, personable, and curious with skilled intuitive hands. I highly recommend.

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.
