From the reviews

I am a health and fitness professional and a former pro athlete and I must say Alicia at "Movement Muscle Therapy" is fantastic if you want/need to get those deepest knots, inconsistencies, and scar tissue out of your body! Wow! She did a fantastic job at deep tissue, scraping, cupping, and other techniques with me...

Just received a sports massage at this place from Alicia and it was a great experience, it's not just a massage, she went over any injuries and issues I may have had and tailored the massage to what I needed. Also did cupping for the first time ever, I feel great. I will definitely be coming back.

★★★★★ — Michael, Mar 2021

Alicia is amazing! I had my first visit with her today due to some ongoing sciatic pain. I was a little apprehensive at first because I’ve seen a few therapist in the past few weeks and just basically had a full body massage but didn’t address my main concern.

★★★★★ — Jennifer, Dec 2022

I separated my shoulder last November while grappling. Once it was no longer in excruciating pain, I started asking around about therapy for it.

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.
