From the reviews
I had a great experience with Akenaton! I did a series of massages for carpel tunnel and arm pain and felt great relief after just the first session. He also gave me exercises and stretches after each session to do at home which have really helped decrease my overall pain! He was kind, professional and knowledgeable!
10/10 recommend anyone struggling with chronic pain or body mechanic issues to see Akenaton! He is incredibly knowledgeable about how the body works/how it communicates and can pinpoint pain and offer ease almost instantaneously.
A couple years ago, I started having headaches whenever I'd do anything remotely strenuous. After trying a number of things with no real success, I found Akenaton and discovered that my issues were due to overly tight muscles in my shoulders, back, and neck.
I’ve had neck problems for years now to the point of not being able to get off the couch. Sharp pain, limited mobility, loss of sleep, pain medicine wasn’t even making a dent, really affecting day to day life. I scheduled a session with Akenaton and literally got my life back!
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.
