Massage & Cupping

Soft tissue options that may help with comfort and movement as part of a broader plan.

A plan built around you

Start with the right assessment.

Soft tissue work may include hands-on massage techniques and, when appropriate, dry cupping. Cupping uses suction on the skin and can leave temporary circular marks.

When this may be relevant

  • Muscle soreness or tenderness
  • A short-term comfort strategy while resuming movement
  • A preference for soft tissue care alongside exercise
What to expect

Care that moves with you.

Your visit begins with a conversation and assessment. The plan changes as your symptoms and abilities change.

01

We ask about your goals, skin health, and treatment preferences.

02

Dr. Chris selects a technique and pressure you can tolerate.

03

We reassess your response and discuss movement or exercise to support the next step.

Good to know

Evidence for cupping is limited. It may cause temporary marks or skin irritation; tell us about fragile skin, bleeding concerns, or medicines that affect bruising.

Next step

Let's talk about your goals.
