What clients say about the cupping here
“He didn't just rub my back; he tracked the pain down to my hips and calves and actually released the tension.”
“This isn’t a basic massage where they just go through a routine, his hands-on work is highly skilled, intentional, and extremely effective.”
“Hands down one of the best experiences I have had very relaxing great customer service and my massage was amazing thank you Greg for a great experience I will be coming back to see you.”
“His clinical sports massage approach targets the exact muscle groups that lock up from heavy lifting—especially the lower back, hips, and calves.”
“The space he works in is beautiful, has gender neutral decor, and is very clean!”
“Signed up for his monthly subscription which is such a great deal, two massage sessions for the price of one.”
From the reviews
Greg is truly exceptional, especially when it comes to body work. This isn’t a basic massage where they just go through a routine, his hands-on work is highly skilled, intentional, and extremely effective.
As a runner in North County, I struggle with hip tightness. We did a session focused on Active Release and Myofascial Release. My range of motion has never been better. If you're an athlete looking for Injury Prevention, this is the place.
I came in today with serious sciatica pain from a l5S1 fusion I had taken out 3 months ago. My muscles have been locked since the surgery. Gregs’s methods of Massage therapy with addition of cupping got the blood into the scare tissue. Today is the first relief I have felt in Months. Definitely coming back.
I have been looking for the right massage therapist for over 2 years and I’m so happy I found Greg! I am very particular and my needs for bodywork change overtime, so finding someone who offers pain management massages, and uses multiple methods based on your needs while maintaining a relaxing ambiance, is amazing!
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.
