From the reviews

"I cannot recommend Michelle of Healthy Necessity enough! When I first came in, I was dealing with severe adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder). It was exhausting and very frustrating, especially since I was told by my doctor that it would take more than a year for full range of motion to return.

If you're looking for a wonderful massage and can wait a few weeks, then go for Michelle. Because she is so talented she has many if not mostly regulars filling her schedule. SHE'S THAT GOOD.

★★★★★ — L, Dec 2022

Healthy Necessities is absolutely worth the waitlist. I’ve been going here for years, and there’s a reason they are consistently awarded Best Massage in the Valley. Professional, skilled, welcoming, and genuinely committed to their clients’ well-being.

★★★★★ — Erika, May 2026

AMANDA is an EXCELLENT therapist that is kind, talented and professional. My 13 yr old who has a neuromuscular condition that causes him to be hypersensitive to touch has had great improvement since seeing Amanda. She has patience and is flexible with her technique.

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.
