MASSAGE SERVICES
Myofascial Alignment & Cupping
There are 12 lines of Fascia running through our body. From head to toe and throughout the abdominal cavity.
The Therapist is well trained and knowledgeable in Myofascia, and
Visceral fascia (organ related).
Cupping, which is ancient healing therapy that uses negative pressure in cups to create a suction on the skin, will also be used to loosen these taut bands of tissue. The therapist will glide the cups along the fascial lines, where they determine is needed the most.
These techniques are used to reduce tension and trigger points.
Our Therapists have advanced education in Cupping and the Myofascial systems in the body.
