2. improve mobility and circulation

Yes. We offer optional techniques that can be incorporated into your session to further support treatment goals such as pain relief, improved mobility, and relaxation. There is no additional charge for add-ons—they are included as part of a customized session when appropriate.

Cupping Therapy (Addison)

Uses suction to lift and decompress tissue, helping to improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, and target deeper restrictions.

Graston Technique/ Scraping (Addison & Courtney)

A targeted technique using a metal (or a similar material) instrument to address areas of restriction, improve tissue mobility, and support recovery from overuse or repetitive strain.

Hot Stone Therapy (Courtney)

Heated stones are incorporated to promote relaxation, improve circulation, and allow deeper work with less discomfort.

Simply let your therapist know before or during your session. Add-ons are incorporated based on your goals, preferences, and what will be most effective for your body that day.

Every session is fully customized to your needs—add-ons are used when they will enhance your results, not as an up-sell.

Let your therapist know immediately. Adjustments can always be made to ensure your comfort and safety.
