From the reviews
…They offer a wide variety of massage types including Chinese, Thai, Japanese, lymphatic, sports medicine, couples, etc), stretching and other therapeutic exercises/tools such as cupping and percussion devices that are difficult to find elsewhere.
…I plan to return here for a longer and other services like cupping/hot stone!! Such a great price also!!! Thank you, River Massage!
…We both combined a deep tissue massage with cupping. I even added hot towels and hot stones, even with just an hour they were able to fit everything! They were both very cautious about our needs and were very kind! Melissa took her time with all of my knots, very polite and seemed very experienced!
I can’t say enough good things about Spencer. He has helped me so much with my shoulder pain and tightness, which used to be a constant issue from spending so much time on the computer. Before working with him, I was always uncomfortable and it was starting to affect my daily life but that’s completely changed.
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.
