What clients say about the cupping here
“Virginia was thorough, with great pressure in the deep-tissue portion and suggestions for how to care for my body outside of massage.”
“listened carefully to my needs and then focused her attention on those areas with the perfect amount of pressure.”
“They're both excellent massage therapists and I always am cared for greatly; whether that's a relaxing massage all over or an intense deep tissue massage stretching out my hips!”
“Actually left and first time in along time was able to move my neck around without ‘crunching’ I’ve also had massages with other masseuse here and have always felt great.”
From the reviews
I always feel relaxed after my massage at Vital energy massage . I love the hot stone and cupping techniques that they use to loosen up the muscles .
I highly recommend Vital Energy for massage and body work. I primarily work with Ilma but have seen multiple providers here and they are all very professional and extremely knowledgeable. Every part of the experience is professional and clearly designed with the client’s needs in mind.
Amazing session, my friend and I went for our first time and Virginia was our masseuse- I hope I spelt that right! She was incredibly caring, kind and thorough and the session was amazing, I can say one of the best I ever had honestly!
Forrest is absolutely amazing!!!! &Ilma too!! I love going there and they both give fantastic massages! I always leave so relaxed!!! 10000x recommend!! Just had another 90 minute session with Forrest, she is a miracle worker. I feel so much more relaxed!
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.
