Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.

Chinese Cupping
Cupping is an ancient Chinese therapy. A cup is applied to the skin and the air sucked out by either heat or compressing the air out to create a suction. This suction will pull and hold skin and superficial muscles in the cup. To create a greater affect the practitioner can move the cup in various directions keeping the suction in the cup while creating skin/muscle friction. This method is called glide cupping.
Cupping is applied to certain acupuncture points as well as to parts of the body that have been affected by pain. The shu points, bladder meridian, and/or the dazhui are frequently used on the back. Cupping is based on the meridian theory of the body to remove any stagnation and opens the meridians so that qi (energy) can flow freely. It also helps to rejuvenate certain meridians and organs that are not functioning at their best. In the Western world cupping is known to help activate the lymphatic system to promote blood circulation it also works well for deep tissue repair. Cupping has greater emphasis on the back due to the ease with which it can be performed.
