From the reviews

As a strongman competitor, regular bodywork is essential for my recovery, performance, and injury prevention. Chris is one of the best I’ve worked with. He’s extremely knowledgeable about the body, understands the demands of strength training, and tailors each session to exactly what I need.

★★★★★ — Melissa, Jun 2025

Chris is absolutely the best masseuse I’ve been to and I’ve seen many. He had the calm energy of a true healer and his technique is strong, smooth, and extremely effective. I often describe his touch as intuitive and like butter. He is a truly kind and caring person which just adds to the entire experience.

★★★★★ — Stephanie, Dec 2025

Chris does a great job at listening to my needs and goals and adjusts his approach to support them. As someone who lifts, being able to stay healthy is important to me, and Chris was able to identify and target all problem areas. I already felt relief after the first session.

★★★★★ — Michael, Jan 2026

Chris is great! My shoulder has been a mess for years and really took a turn for the worse this past year. I feel like Chris really listened to what I need & is invested in my continued progress, which helps me feel confident & motivated to get my mobility back. I always leave his office feeling better!

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.
