What clients say about the cupping here
“Spa's serve a good purpose however, if you have a real physical issue - for me - lower back pain and hip discomfort - you need 'more' than a spa.”
“Phoenix "knows her stuff" and she has even taken the time to perform associated research and send me additional info for the betterment of my health.”
“She is gentle and effective.”
“I could barely put on a coat and now I have total range of motion.”
“She has a great deal of knowledge about the muscles and mechanics of the body.”
From the reviews
…Her cupping techniques are awesome and she truly gets the job done. Her massages are not like those nonchalant massages at spas. She gives massages with intent to fix any issues you have with your back/ any muscles! I 100% recommend Phoenix for any knots and muscle relief that you may need! SHES LITERALLY A HERO.
I had neck and shoulder pain for almost a year that got progressively worse. My chiropractor and my primary care physician didn't provide any relief and I was starting to worry this would be something I would have to learn to live with. I came across The Melting Knot and decided it was worth a shot.
I have went to Physical Therapy, Chiropractors, Specialists and more for years with no improvement to my shoulder/neck issues. After 1 session with Phoenix my shoulder/neck pain is gone and I am able to perform substantially better in power lifting exercises.
I had an issue with my shoulder and Phoenix did a wonderful job making it fell better. She found the muscles that were causing the problem and got the knots out. I would definitely recommend her as the person to go to when you have a muscle issue that need attention
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.
