Cupping therapy is based on the Traditional Chinese Medical method of encouraging healing by creating negative pressure via suction. The main purpose is to enhance the circulation of blood and chi (or qi).

Cupping creates a vacuum suction and provides negative pressure, sometimes creating changes in skin; ecchymosis. This process invites blood to flow from as far as four inches deep to the skin, lifting and drawing circulation from the arteries to the more superficial capillaries, fascia, and meridians. This enhanced circulation distributes greater levels of nutrition, oxygenation, into the surrounding areas, while simultaneously encouraging detoxification of cellular waste and excess fluid.

We use this method primarily for reducing pain, but the benefits include:

• Stimulates body’s defense system 
• Regulates meridian flow
• Improves oxygen supply
• Enhances immune system (lymphatic system)
• Skin warms with increased circulation
• Sedates the nervous system 
• Relieve back and neck pain 
• Relieves stiff muscles
• Decreases anxiety
• Can improve fatigue
• Can decrease occurrences of migraines
• Can decrease symptoms of rheumatism
• Can decrease appearance of cellulite

*Note: If you take medicine that moves blood or affects the heart, such as high blood pressure medicine, this technique may not be appropriate for you. Please call 401 366 4627 to discuss with a staff member.

Cupping for Pain Relief: Initial Visit

Cupping therapy is based on the Traditional Chinese Medical method of encouraging healing by creating negative pressure via suction. The main purpose is to enhance the circulation of blood and chi (or qi).

*Note: This service is ONLY for those clients who have received the initial treatment. Please call 401 366 4627 with any questions or to speak with a staff member.

Cupping for Pain Relief: Follow Ups

Visits are catered to each client's comfort level and needs. Clients looking for a relaxing, yet detail oriented treatment will benefit greatly. For the majority of our appointments, you can expect:

- A mobility analysis 
     Example: "Can you move your arm around and show me where it's bothering you?"
- A specific treatment plan 
     Example: "What I think we'll do is have you begin lying face up...etc"
- Summary after treatment
     Example: "How does your arm feel now?" 
- Resources
     Example: "Here's this great youtube video I can send you that demonstrates how to stretch the bicep tendon."

Techniques we use:

Active and Passive Stretching
Myofascial Release 
Active Assisted and Passive Range of Motion 
Deep Tissue Massage 
Pin and Stretch
Cupping 
Trigger Point Release
Peripheral Neuromuscular Facilitation
Myoskeletal Alignment
Guided Breathwork
Guided Meditations

*Please note regarding FULL BODY TREATMENTS - It is STRONGLY recommended to choose between 75, 90 and 105 minutes for full body treatments. We are not a spa. A full body treatment is going to be comprehensive and very different than you'd expect from a spa atmosphere.

Massage: Initial Visit

This treatment is provided AFTER the client's INITIAL VISIT. We will revisit the client's goals and mobility limitations. Techniques may be altered or repeated from the first visit according to each client's results.

After SIX visits, the client has the opportunity to take advantage of the "Subscriber" rate, as long as the client repeats their consecutive visits within 30 days. Please call or text 401 366 4627 with any questions.

Massage: Follow Up

Discounted rate for those who want to make massage part of their recovery or maintenance routine. A signed program agreement is REQUIRED. 

After SIX visits, the client is rewarded a "Subscriber Rate" as long as the client comes in WITHIN 30 DAYS. No exceptions (Sickness, Childcare issue, etc.). If the client's visit is OUTSIDE of the thirty days, the client agrees to pay the "Follow Up" Treatment price.

Massage: Subscriber Visit

Massage is appropriate in every stage of pregnancy, despite what you may have heard. This service is designed to assist the active mother or mother-to-be to continue to move comfortably throughout her pregnancy and postpartum years. We want you to feel empowered to trust your body's process. Each of our staff members are trained from a different prenatal massage certification, so techniques will vary. The therapist will use bolsters and pregnancy support pillows for maximum comfort. The table may or may not be heated depending on the stage of pregnancy. 

Massage can alleviate pain, decrease stress, and build healthy, mindful awareness in the fantastic changes you will be experiencing. 

*Note: If you are interested in a mobile visit after your pregnancy, please call 401 366 4627 and ask for Amber.

Massage: Prenatal

This service is ONLY available to clients who have received the Initial Prenatal/Postnatal Visit

Massage: Prenatal Follow Up

Some folks tend to extend their appointments with conversation. This treatment allows plenty of relaxed space for one to one conversation integrated with health coaching so the treatment is productive, the massage therapist remains within their scope of practice, and is paid for their time. Round out your self care with a 90 minute appointment focused on just you!
