From the reviews

First the facility: Everything is clean, well-planned, and spacious. The people are friendly, and everything runs smoothly. I have been fortunate to have the Clinic Director, Dr. Carolyn Rhoads as my physical therapist, and she has been great. She is knowledgeable, experienced, patient, and flexible.

★★★★★ — Kathy, Oct 2023

Great place! The staff is so friendly and helpful. It took me 2 months of pain to go get evaluated because I thought it was "just my Sciatica and I could walk it off". After Lauren, one of the PT"S there, did her evaluation, she told me it was my Piriformis muscle that was tight and causing the pain.

★★★★★ — Jean-Marie, Aug 2024

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the incredible care I received during my time at Highbar Pysical Therapy Sanderson. From the very first session, I felt welcomed and supported by the entire team.

★★★★★ — Steve, Jan 2025

I absolutely love Highbar Physical Therapy. The staff are all friendly and helpful. Therapists always ask before the start of an appointment how I’m feeling. Exercises are adjusted based on my response. The place is very clean. Tables are consistently sprayed and wiped down. Linens are always clean as well.

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.
