At simply.massage you will experience bodywork that is both therapeutic and relaxing. I have an integrative and intuitive approach. Combining all aspects of Swedish massage with techniques such as trigger-point release, joint mobilization, and deep tissue focus work allows me to deliver a restorative and therapeutic massage. Aromatherapy, hot stones and warm towels are all included.
You can choose to add-on CBD oil to your massage featuring Malaya Botanicals stress relief and pain relief massage oil blends to enhance your experience. Prenatal/Postnatal massage also available.
In addition, Cupping Therapy is available to add-on within the time frame of your service at no cost.
Cupping is a form of massage therapy which decompresses soft tissues using vacuum suction, unlike other forms of massage that compresses soft tissues. During cupping, the cup gently sucks to your skin and lifts underlying soft tissue into the cup.
How does it feel?
Cupping is very relaxing and generally not painful. The sensation that is experienced is a pulling of the skin as the cup is moved in a rolling fashion. Redness or a feeling of warmth is usually experienced after the release of the cup due to increased blood flow to the area.
Who can benefit?
Almost anyone can benefit from cupping. It is used to treat lack of mobility, tight muscles, scars and many diagnoses like headaches, tendinitis, bursitis, plantar fasciitis, fibromyalgia, and release of trigger points. It is performed throughout the regular massage session with focus on 1-2 areas. It is not a full body cupping session.
What to expect after treatment?
Mild soreness is to be expected from the buildup of lactic acid in the muscle tissue, but less soreness than a deep tissue massage. Markings are to be expected and can last up to a week. Physical exertion and heat are not recommended after the treatment.
Cupping benefits are the following:
- Release scar tissue and fascial adhesions
- Reduce painful trigger points
- Improve circulation, blood and lymph circulation
- Relieve pain
- Promote mobility and range of motion
- Improves mature scars
