From the reviews
I’ve been going to Schwartz Sports Massage in Santa Barbara and it has made a huge difference in how my body feels day to day. I originally went in for chronic muscle tightness and some lingering pain, and the results have been incredible. What really stands out is how knowledgeable and targeted the sessions are.
This was a 10/10 experience. Amanda expressed genuine curiosity on what my training was like so that she could better service my body as well as understand the type of stress it is under.
Shwartz sports delivered. Big shoutout to Anna for fitting in great therapy, impressive knowledge and useful feedback for a complicated rotator cuff issue all in the span of a brief 15 minute window.
Amanda is one of the best sports masseuse in the business, ultra professional and knowledgeable. She can fix the anything from smallest to the biggest of acute and perpetuating injuries in a flash. Easy to book, super friendly and works out of a beautiful private studio easily accessible in the heart of Santa Barbara.
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.
