From the reviews

I had my first massage at Basic Kneads today. I saw Nicole. Her pressure was perfect and she addressed my goal of seeking relaxation. As one who has received regular massage for over 20 years as well as been a Licensed Massage Therapist, I was truly amazed that I had finally found someone in my new home state that…

★★★★★ — Gail, Feb 2025

I had the most amazing experience with Nicole! She is an incredible masseuse and provided the best massage I’ve ever had. Her skill and attention to detail were unmatched, plus she was super sweet. I will definitely be a returning client. Highly recommend!

★★★★★ — Jasmine, Nov 2024

Highly recommend!! Very knowledgeable & responsive team with convenience of scheduling. One of the best massages I’ve ever had. Feeling much better immediately afterwards & the day following. Able to provide brief overview of my situation and leave it to Billy's expertise.

★★★★★ — Jen, Nov 2025

BEST massage I’ve ever had! I had Nicole and she did an incredible job. So knowledgeable, took her time, so friendly. By the time my massage was over, I felt so relaxed. Prices are also fair. I’ll definitely be back.

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.
