FAQS
- What days/times are you open?
-I am open Monday through Saturday. Hours range from 10am-6pm. Please check my booking website to see up to date available hours.
- How often should I get work done?
-This is a tricky question. It depends on your daily routine; work life, your level of exercise, past injury etc. I always say, if you have an active job and/or exercise 3+ days a week- coming in biweekly is the best option at the begginning. But you have to keep it consistent in order to see a difference in your muscular well being. It is best to come in for a consult & we can figure out a recovery routine for you!
- What is cupping & does it hurt?
-Cupping is one of my favorites! It is an ancient Chinese method of creating more blood circulation to muscles that are not working properly. Helps decrease pain, speeds up recovery & helps to decompress tissue.
- How long do cupping marks last?
-It depends. Everyone is different based on injury/body dysfunction. The darker the mark, it can last anywhere from 7-14 days.
- What is IASTM?
-Short for "Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization". This is done by using a steel tool gliding across muscle. It helps break up scar tissue & create blood flow to that muscle group.
- How would you describe your massage technique?
-I am not the typical massage therapist. I specialize in athletes, injury & pain. If you are looking for soft music & rose petals- you're in the wrong place. I use a mix of techniques such as deep tissue, sports massage, Trigger point work, ART & myofascial release to help with my clients problem areas. If you're battling a chronic injury, overuse injury, TMJ, sciatica, car accident pain etc. COME SEE ME.
- My body is a little sore after bodywork/cupping, is that normal?
-Yes that is normal! If you were previously sore from exercise and/or not used to bodywork/cupping- that is a normal body response for first timers.
- I just worked out & sore from the week, how long should I wait to get bodywork done?
-Depends on your level of soreness. Please wait at least 3 days to give your body some time to relax. If you are not sore and just worked out- please wait a couple hours for bodywork. It is best when your body has cooled down & you stopped sweating.
- Why should I drink water before/after bodywork?
-Water is a must before & after! Helps reduce soreness, helps with the pliability of your skin when I am working on you & helps move the waste in your body from bodywork.
- Do you sell giftcards?
-Yes! Giftcards are on my booking site.
- What forms of payment do you accept?
-Card, cash, paypal, zelle & venmo.
