From the reviews
This place is so legit and I'm sharing my recommendation based on an incredible experience I had with Stella. For context, I came in with a pinched never in my upper neck that was preventing me from raising my right arm and she immediately honed in on what was going on.
Derek is such a competent and knowledgeable therapeutic bodyworker that he was able to relieve my lower back pain AND heal the remnants of my frozen shoulder in one session.
I was about to run my first marathon, but was having issues with tightness in my IT bands. They hurt when I ran, and I wasn't able to run 20 miles without pain. I had a 60 min appointment with Chris just 5 days before the race. He knew exactly what the problem was and had a plan for treatment.
I’ve been dealing with some mobility and pain issues for a few years and saw some practitioners but was not able to fully fix it until I came to Psoas. Anthony was able to quickly diagnose the issue and was able to fix me up over a few sessions. Turns out it was just very tight muscles limiting my joints.
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.
