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!

★★★★★ — Sabrina, Dec 2016

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!

★★★★★ — Tim, Mar 2025

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!

★★★★★ — Janice, Jul 2025

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.
