From the reviews
…Between, cupping, movement and massage, he FIXED me that day! It's very comforting to know that Brian is always a phone call, text or email away. I
Brian is a great friend, wonderful yoga instructor and a FANTASTIC masseur! He takes great care in making the space inviting and relaxing. The different modalities he uses are just what the body calls for to alleviate those tensions/stress or trouble areas.
Brian has a heart of gold and hands to match. He is very receptive to what I need from one visit to another and can easily adapt his style accordingly. He's reliable, creates an awesome space for maximum comfort, and is incredibly warm and inviting.
I'll preface this by saying that I'm a walking knot. I LOVE Brian and he's the best at what he does. I had tried several other places around Norfolk, before finding Brian, and never felt satisfied. Now I won't go to anyone else as long as he is in this area. Hell, if he moved I'd probably follow him 😂.
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.
