From the reviews

I’ve been working with Krista for several months now, and she’s been absolutely incredible in helping me recover from nagging knee issues caused by running. Not only did she get me healthy again, but she’s been instrumental in keeping me strong and pain-free throughout my marathon training.

★★★★★ — Seth, Oct 2025

Wonderful experience! From the moment you step in the door, you are greeted by Kelly or Amy who make you feel so welcome! My Physical Therapist for much of my treatment was Ryan! He listened to me and gave me the confidence to get my knee functioning again! I am so grateful for their wisdom, knowledge and patience!

★★★★★ — Kathy, Feb 2026

The entire team at Elevate is absolutely outstanding. I started working with Anna after tearing my rotator cuff, and she has been nothing short of amazing, kind, and highly supportive. Elevate truly goes above and beyond to create a welcoming atmosphere.

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.
