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 .

★★★★★ — Nora, Feb 2026

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!

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.

Cupping isn't for everyone — if you're on blood thinners, pregnant, or have a skin condition or bleeding disorder, check with your doctor first, and always tell your practitioner about health concerns before a session. This page is directory information, not medical advice.
