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

I saw Chris for help with an Achilles injury, and I’m so glad I did. He’s incredibly professional and knowledgeable, and he always takes the time to explain what’s going on and how to support the healing process.

★★★★★ — Wendy, May 2025

I have been a client of Chris's for years, and I can confidently say he is the best massage therapist I've ever encountered. What sets Chris apart is not just his technical skills, but also his availability and genuine care for his clients' well-being.

★★★★★ — Gaia, May 2024

Chris was amazing. 3 days ago, I had really bad knots in my left upper shoulder blade that got so painful I had to go to urgent care. After letting the inflammation calm down, I went to see him and he made such a difference. He is a plant daddy so his establishment is very zen surrounded by his beautiful plants.

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.
