From the reviews

Ian is quite possibly the best massage therapist I have had. He uses a variety of different techniques (cupping, scraping) and is extremely thorough and attentive to anything that hurts or is too painful.

★★★★★ — Stan, Jun 2022

One of the best massages of my life! I only booked a 30, but ended up staying 60 and wanted 90! Ian was attentive to the areas I mentioned, frequently checked in & even did cupping. Im already wanting to book again!

★★★★★ — Meagan, Aug 2022

Ian is an AMAZING therapist! I will be booking again. I went in for a two hour massage and when Ian finished I felt like jello. The technical skills, and pure strength Ian uses are master class. He is very attentive to what issues you may be having and works out all the tightness and relaxes tense muscles.

★★★★★ — Franchesca, Jun 2022

This guy is awesome at his craft!!! I can not thank Ian enough for accomodating 3 deep tissue massages in a span of about a week after three muscles on my right shoulder gave up on me. I was not able to sleep with the pain for 4 days.

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.
