From the reviews
Love Santa Cruz Core! Staff is friendly, knowledgeable, upbeat, caring and supportive. I see a personal trainer, chiropractor and masseuse. My husband has had acupuncture and cupping. The whole staff works as a team to improve a client's health.
Santa Cruz CORE has been a game changer! I suffered and coped with insomnia for over 3 years before coming to CORE and I was introduced to the Vasper. For about a month I did Vasper twice a week and my sleep improved drastically!
I usually go to the Santa Cruz location but I have gone to Watsonville once and it was a great experience! I got an 80-minute massage with Cala, who was voted best massage therapist in the county. She provided a fantastic massage and I really like the Watsonville space! Excited that CORE has opened a second location!!
Carlos was extremely attentive with the session I had with him. I have been recovering from an ankle injury, but Carlos helped me get back into shape so I could enjoy my favorite workouts again.
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.
