What clients say about the cupping here
“I suffered from chronic neck and shoulder pain for years and had tried everything: doctors, physical therapy and dozens of massage therapists, without ever getting real relief.”
“He is an attentive listener, has a deep understanding of anatomy, and uses his expertise in different modalities to actually address any pain or issues you have, not just gloss over them.”
“He is an attentive listener, has a deep understanding of anatomy, and uses his expertise in different modalities to actually address any pain or issues you have, not just gloss over them.”
“At one point the pain had become so severe that I could barely sit at my desk for long periods, I had stopped exercising the way I used to and getting a comfortable night’s sleep felt impossible.”
“He has a wide variety of techniques and I particularly love his deep tissue massage since I’m an athlete and often deal with muscle tension.”
From the reviews
For years, Miguel has been my go-to practitioner for chronic TMJ pain and migraines. Miguel is an expert in deep trigger point release, which has given me more relief than any other massage. He is also a specialist in oral work, which is rare to find.
Miguel is a very skilled and knowledgeable massage therapist. Since seeing him, my body is more flexible. The difference in my hips and alignment and posture is very noticeable. He not only gives me deep tissue massage, but also works on slowly and steadily stretching my tight muscles.
Miguel has been instrumental in helping me manage chronic migraines & neck pain. I have seen dozens of massage therapists & body workers throughout the years and have finally found the best. He understands the human body very well & truly cares about his work and the impact it has.
Miguel has been an absolute angel for me. I have been suffering from chronic pain and go to see him as frequently as I can to feel at peace, help reduce my pain and relaxed. His touch is very caring and my anxieties and worries melt away while I'm getting my massage.
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.
