From the reviews

Been a regular client of Alanna's for a few years now. She has an expert touch and tailors the massage to your needs, no one size fits all here. As someone who regularly beats themselves up outdoors on trails she has been an essential part of keeping me doing the things I love.

★★★★★ — B, Mar 2022

Repeat client for life, Alanna's compassion, skill, and professionalism was not only life changing, it thoroughly improved the quality of my life. I was extremely impressed with her ability to engage and be in tune with what my needs are/were at the time.

“Alanna Restored My Body, Mind, and Spirit — A Truly Transformative Experience” My experience at Oak City Massage Therapy was truly unique, wonderful, and far beyond anything I could have expected. My massage therapist, Alanna, was amazing throughout the entire process.

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.
