Hot Stones, Scrapers, and Cups—oh, my.
Got Stubborn Spots? Tools Help.
After doing math by hand for years, remember how it felt when someone handed you a calculator? Tools let us get more done efficiently.
These dynamic tools soften stiff tissue and allow better access to stubborn problem spots. Super effective. Plus they feel amazing.
Hot Stones -
Skin, muscle, and fascia soften under heat and pressure. We cup the stones in the palm of our hands as we massage. Cold stones also available upon request.
Scraping -
Evolved from gua sha, this instrument assisted soft tissue manipulation (IASTM) uses specialized tools in direct, compressive friction strokes. It encourages breakdown of adhesions at the cellular level and kickstarts the repair process. Scraping may leave marks that last a few days.
Cupping -
Creating a gentle vacuum on the skin encourages circulation and stimulates the repair process. Light pressure is used for moving cups across the skin. Increased pressure is used when we allow cups to linger on problem areas. Cupping may leave marks that last a few days to a week.
