From the reviews

Michael's Medical Massage is amazing. I needed lymphatic massage following a procedure because my legs, feet, and ankles were swollen pretty bad. After the first massage I noticed a difference in the swelling from the water my body was holding.

★★★★★ — Teri, Feb 2021

Michael is the only person who helps alleviate my neck, back and basically all over pain. I also suffer from vertigo off and on and he never offsets this. He’s a true magician / genius with his hands. He is professional, kind, and a wealth of knowledge regarding many subject matters.

★★★★★ — Angela, Jul 2024

Michael gives one of the BEST and most REJUVENATING deep tissue massages I have ever experienced. His knowledge of the body and deep tissue massage techniques are unmatched.

★★★★★ — Emily, Mar 2024

Michael is very experienced and efficient. Every issue I have had for example wrist, knee, or low back pain has been completely resolved. My husband suffered from chest pain for several months and went to many doctors and spent thousands of dollars to get testing on his lungs and chest.

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.
