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.”
“With the combination of pressure points and massage, I have experienced a great deal of relief and my body is healing without surgery or invasive procedures.”
“My former impression of getting a massage included: Spa environment, pampering, feel good, relaxing - and - not much more.”
“As an elite athlete all my life I have had the luxury of being massaged by the very best massage therapists the USA National Team can provide.”
“She has a great deal of knowledge about the muscles and mechanics of the body.”
From the reviews
Love love love Phoenix! She is AWESOME! I always feel like a new person when I’ve visited her. 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 have known Phoenix for about 5 years. My former impression of getting a massage included: Spa environment, pampering, feel good, relaxing - and - not much more. 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.
As an elite athlete all my life I have had the luxury of being massaged by the very best massage therapists the USA National Team can provide. I've traveled to the US Olympic training center in Colorado Springs and experienced massages from our countries best massage therapist.
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.
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.
