From the reviews
I am a Physical Therapist in Charlottesville and my front office person who is also a Massage Therapist referred me to Ainslee. I can't say enough about her knowledge of anatomy, how the body best responds to massage technique.
I couldn’t have had a better experience. I made an appt with Charles at Move for an acute rotator cuff or bicep injury that left my right arm with very limited range of motion, otherwise extremely painful with movement. I booked a half hour session.
I have been so incredibly happy with Move Medical. As a 67 year old person who has been getting massage for over 40 years, Move has provided the best massage ever. My 89 year old mother loved her massage as well. I would not hesitate to refer anyone to this facility.
A great, comfortable space with a clear focus on hygiene and sanitation (a must nowadays). I booked a massage with Ainslee and she did an amazing job! I've had muscular imbalances, tight spots, and chronic pain from an old injury a decade ago, and she was able to not only find the trouble areas but help me understand…
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.
