From the reviews
Stephanie is the best massage therapist I have ever been to! She thoroughly listens to your concerns and focuses her therapy on those needs. She is very knowledgeable and explains everything that she’s doing with great detail. Cupping is my favorite therapy she provides! It is a great add on in addition to the massage.
Peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The cupping technique was new to me and it felt amazing and reduced inflammation. Stephanie was welcoming and made me feel comfortable. She listened well and focused on the areas causing me the most issue. I arrived with neck and lower back pain and left with no pain. Thanks Stephanie!
I was struggling with TMJ syndrome for two months before I visited Stephanie at Body in Motion Massage. After one appointment, my pain dissapeared. It was gone! Since then, I’ve been using the techniques Stephanie taught me to relax my jaw and prevent teeth grinding.
Stephanie is wonderful, she has a holistic understanding of the body, vast knowledge of anatomy, is a life-long learning who wants to stay current with new means of helping the body recover from pain and injury and overall quality of life. And, I find the use of cupping to be beneficial.
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.
