The things reviewers bring up again and again across 58 Google reviews — kept to comments about the cupping and the provider's care, in their own words.

💆 effective pain & tension relief 13 mentions

“I have gone in to see them on separate occasions for low back, knee, wrist, shoulder, and neck pain and they have never not been able to diagnose the issue, formulate a care plan, and resolve my pain!”

🧑‍⚕️ skilled, knowledgeable practitioner 9 mentions

“I've trusted their expertise, recommendations and care so I can continue to the best physical version of myself whether it's doing yard work or training for longer endurance events.”

🏃 great for athletes / recovery 8 mentions

“I have more range of motion than I have had in years and finally feel like I can get the strength back that I lost, because my knee pain made it hard to do any leg exercises.”

From the reviews

Amazing people and even better results! Most recently, after years of struggling with arthritis in my knee, I had PRP therapy with shockwave follow up and PT. I have more range of motion than I have had in years and finally feel like I can get the strength back that I lost, because my knee pain made it hard to do any…

★★★★★ — Ian, Sep 2025

I can't recommend Designed 2 Move more! I have had persistent injuries over the last year that caused quite a bit of pain. Abbi was able to figure out the root cause, used their new shockwave treatment to begin healing, and has given me back the mobility and pain free life I desired.

★★★★★ — Kari, Jun 2024

This past summer I hurt my knee and went through all of the PT with the hospital but they deemed me "good enough" to be done when I was still a long ways from being able to resume my normal routine. I have been a runner for years and regularly do yoga and HIIT type classes. I was still unable to run after PT.

★★★★★ — Sarah, Jan 2025

I recently had my lower back go out, and was unable to walk or do much of anything as a result of the injury. I scheduled an appointment to see Brady Dougherty at Designed 2 Move, and he was able to get me in the same day that I got injured.

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.
