What clients say about the cupping here
“Front desk was delightful, the atmosphere was so cozy and comfortable, and Katie was wonderfully charming and thorough.”
“She listens to what is bothering you, but has a sixth sense about getting right to the muscles you didn't even know were causing you problems.”
“I highly recommend Knot Detective to all, especially to everyone looking for a relaxing, healing experience with down to earth staff and therapists who know their stuff!”
“I am an aerialist and came to her for the first time after I injured my shoulder, and she fixed it so quickly I was able to get back into the studio within two days.”
From the reviews
I LOVE coming to Katie to get my super tight shoulders and back fixed! She charges so little for how awesome she is. I am an aerialist and came to her for the first time after I injured my shoulder, and she fixed it so quickly I was able to get back into the studio within two days. She has magic hands!
Ask for Alex! This was amazing - my body was super locked up and Vanessa told me to see Alex and boy was she right! Alex was able to not only work on my locked up back but help me understand my hips were curling inward and it was effecting how I walked and moved!
Google will need more stars to give Knot Detective adequate praise. Whether you have knots or locked up muscle tissue that is preventing mobility, or causing pain, the pros at Knot Detective will heal you. I highly recommend Alex Parker!
alex is awesome! so grateful to have found him. he is really strong and knew exactly where to get the tight muscles to release. the front desk gal was super nice too - very welcoming and kind!
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.
