What clients say about the cupping here
“Priscilla goes above and beyond to help me get back to my exercise routine for yoga and weight lifting with the correct alignment and form base on my body range of motion.”
“Midway through our work on my ankle Priscilla found out that I had been dealing with some shoulder joint pain for many years, and had never experienced any successful treatments.”
“She combines that with a powerful empathy and ability to listen to her patients, so it's really a complete healing process that she guides you through.”
“We worked through an intensive program of healing and training to get me from limping around to now being able to move with little to no pain.”

From the reviews
…I loved her mix of traditional PT exercises with other methods like cupping and Chinese medicine approaches. She was the perfect mix of empathetic and tough — helping me to stay accountable. Highly recommend working with her!
…She used a combination of manual manipulation, cervical traction, cupping, mobility training, and strength training on me. She taught me the root causes of psychosomatic pain and treated both my mind and my body, which I think was the key to my long-term healing.
…The modalities that she has used with me include but may not be limited to : Active Release Soft tissue manipulation Kinetic taping Cupping Naturopathic medicine Certified yoga instructor Traditional physical therapy Every session is customized based on your needs that session.
…She brings a variety of methods to help, too: cupping, laser, massage, yoga. Thanks to her I have a lot more tools to help me manage and improve my pain. I am now back to doing most of my yoga moves knowing I am doing the poses in a way that mitigates re-injuring my 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.
