From the reviews
Getting there was super easy and there’s even plenty of parking in the back of the building (it can be tough to find free parking in Arlington). They were so accommodating- I was even a few min late and got my full 45 min massage.
I had a wonderful experience during my first visit to Emerald Massage Center and I can’t believe it took me this long to find out about it! I almost wanna gatekeep it but I also want them to thrive and get more business haha. I had a 90 minute deep tissue with Amanda and she was excellent!
I recently visited Emerald Massage Center, and it was exactly what I needed after dealing with muscle tension from the gym. I booked a deep tissue massage, and the experience exceeded my expectations from start to finish.
I just moved here from California and was looking for a high quality massage. I booked an hour deep tissue with Alexandra and she was fabulous! She was friendly, professional and very skilled. It was one of the best massages I’ve ever had.
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.
