Swedish Massage not only promotes relaxation, it can ease muscular tension and alleviate pain.

Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy uses controlled negative pressure to gently lift the skin and underlying soft tissue. This mechanical stimulus may influence local blood flow, tissue mobility, and pain perception, making cupping a useful adjunct to therapeutic massage for areas of muscular tension and discomfort.
Your session begins with massage to prepare the tissues, followed by targeted application of cups based on your individual needs. Cups may be stationary or moved through the tissue using massage oil. Cupping is commonly used to address muscular tension and may provide short-term relief of pain and improved comfort and mobility.
Temporary circular discoloration is a normal response to treatment and generally fades within several days.
