From the reviews

I've been a customer for years and I love Jamie, my regular therapist. However, when illness the day of my appointment caused me to have to reschedule to a few days later, I was able to see Donna. She did a fabulous job working out some back and neck tightness I had been dealing with.

I am seeing Colin for a deep tissue massage, every 3 weeks. He works all the lumps and kinks out for me. I have also seen Tracy. Tracy is also an awesome masseuse. Over the 15 years I have been going to Massage East, I have always walked away feeling better and relaxed.

★★★★★ — Richard, Jun 2026

Since moving to Madison around 15 years ago I had only found one massage therapist that was very good… but also way too expensive… so I stopped going. When I found Massage East, and started working with Colin, I knew I had found someone who both listened to what worked for me and delivered..

★★★★★ — Shelley, Jun 2026

I’ve been seeing Colin at Massage East for a few months, and I’ve been feeling great. I have much better range of motion and a lot less pain. The price is right and the scheduling is super convenient. Highly recommend!

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.
