My offerings are primarily based in Swedish technique, incorporating myofascial release, triggerpoint techniques, and silicone cups depending on your treatment goals and preferences.  Every session includes the application of hot towels, heat packs, and essential oils though we can opt out of any amenities that do not serve you. 

 

Please note that the only time I provide sessions shorter than 75 minutes is when the scope is limited to just the neck, scalp, face.  Otherwise, my offerings are all 75 minutes of hands-on time or longer.  I currently do not accept any insurance clients but do accept FSA/HSA cards for payment, and can happily provide a super bill upon request.  Please email with the dates of service requested at carol@rapturemassageandbodyworks.com

Cupping Massage

90 min/$170 | 120 min/$215

Cupping massage is the use of silicone suction cups to apply ‘negative pressure’ or suction to the tissue with glide.   This treatment brings blood to the surface and provides a feeling of superficial myofascial release in ways that compression massage techniques can not.  I combine the 'moving cupping' technique with Swedish Massage for an ultra soothing experience.   Cupping is widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine among other practices around the world. I rarely leave the cups stationary for any significant length of time. 

​

Disclaimer:  Cupping therapy may leave light bruises.

​

Who should NOT receive Cupping Therapy?

Those with serious medical conditions such as cardiac failure, renal failure, any kind of liver illness, ascites due to hepato-cirrhosis and severe edema, organ failure, slipped discs, 3D varicosities hemorrhagic diseases such as allergic purpura, hemophilia and leukemia, and clients with dermatosis, destruction of skin, or allergic dermatitis.
