From the reviews

Camille is a fantastic massage therapist. If you’re looking for a relaxing, therapeutic massage, you’ve hit the jackpot. Not only is her technique great, she has added bonuses like hot stones, aromatherapy, cupping to top off your experience! I have never walked out of a massage so relaxed!

I want to start by saying that there aren’t enough positive things I can say about Massage Smart! I’ve been seeing Melissa for many years now, and I am still impressed on a monthly basis. When I booked my first appointment, I was looking for quick relief with no intention of signing up for a membership.

★★★★★ — Kristi, Mar 2020

I signed up for monthly massages with Massage Smart nearly a year ago. I remain a customer because the massages are a great health benefit and a great value. I appreciate Melissa's attentiveness, professionalism and skill. She is excellent - pays attention to trouble spots and delivers a great quality overall massage.

★★★★★ — Regina, Jul 2016

Massage Smart is the best place to get a massage in Ridgecrest, and I've tried a lot of different places over the years! Camille is by far the most kind, knowledgeable, and effective. It is a home office, but you would never guess it once you step into her massage room!

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.
