What clients say about the cupping here
“Since I’ve been seeing him, my chronic neck pain has almost disappeared - even when chiropractic and PT did not help, and the pain was excruciating at times.”
“I would highly recommend him to anyone, but especially those with chronic pain because I believe his experience and expertise can really help!”
“But he is so in tune with the body, and works in a way that feels so intuitive as to know exactly when to pull back and work through spots that require a softer and gentler touch.”
From the reviews
I am still so happy I could get in on a Sunday afternoon. Nick was attentive and communicative from the start. He studied my expressed needs and quickly came up with a plan and stuck to it. His theme/approach to my massage session was all based on this plan and I felt incredible after.
Nick is an amazing massage therapist. He intuitively knows where I need the most work every time. He employs a variety of modalities to best serve my body each time (from cupping to stretching to deep tissue). I’ve had massages all over the world and he’s one of the best.
My experience with massage with Nick was Ethereal. He is very professional and also very welcoming. His touch is so gentle but with the perfect amount of pressure. I was having a lot of body pain and discomfort and after my 2 hour massage I felt blissed out and pain free.
I've had multiple sessions with Nik, and each one has been exceptional. His profound knowledge of the muscular system is evident in how he tailors each session to address my specific issues. Nik's techniques not only alleviate discomfort but leave me pain-free for an extended period afterward.
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.
