From the reviews

I recently had an appointment and I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of care and expertise. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcomed and comfortable. The clinic is spotless, organized, and has a calming atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. Abdel was exceptional.

★★★★★ — Matthew, Jan 2025

Abdel redefines massage therapy — MTP is the end of your quest for the perfect massage. While I have been getting regular massages for over a decade for chronic back and other running/desk job related issues, nothing has had long term therapeutic benefit until I started coming to MTP a year ago.

★★★★★ — A, Jun 2025

European colleagues, Abdel is the therapist you are looking for. If you are struggling to find true deep tissue and joint therapy here in the US, you should try Abdel. He is a highly skilled therapist, able to manipulate tissue and release joints.

★★★★★ — James, Oct 2025

I would highly recommend Abel to anyone. I came in with sever back pain (chronic issue that flared), he listened, did some thoughtful discovery and worked carefully to mitigate the issues. It was somewhat miraculous how I was able to walk out standing tall, and it put me on a path to continued strengthening efforts.

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.
