From the reviews

Mark is my new go to massage therapist. He starts with foot wraps with nice hot towels, then moves into hot stones to loosen up, then what i call the jackhammer (it's a massage thing that beats you up, but in a good way) then to the full body treatment. I like a rough massage and Mark doesn't hold back.

★★★★★ — Bryan, Jun 2025

This was my first time ever getting a professional massage. But it certainly won't be my last. I plan on adding a regular visit with Mark to my self care routine. I was super nervous going in that it would be awkward or not worth it, but my fears were quickly eliminated.

★★★★★ — Kody, Feb 2023

I have had many massages but Mark's massage is different and so much better! It is a medical massage and he targets the areas you want to be worked on instead of just rubbing your back. He is a miracle worker and provides an amazing massage. I always feel better when I leave. I highly recommend!!

★★★★★ — Lesli, Nov 2022

Mark has helped me stay active after blowing out my L5/S1 disc. I’ve been seeing him consistently for the last three years and couldn’t find a better educated massage therapist that I trust. Definitely check him out if you are in the south end of Louisville!

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.
