IASTM is a treatment technique used to help improve the healing and recovery of soft tissue injuries. During an IASTM treatment, handheld medical grade steel tools are used to apply pressure to your skin and muscles, sometimes in fanning motions and other times in massaging motions. Discomfort is normal during the treatment, but it should never be painful. You may also experience marks on your skin as a result of the session. After your therapy, there may be a minor inflammatory reaction in the affected area. This is a normal part of the healing process, and the affected area may also be tender or sore for a few days after the treatment. - Offered by Lyvia

Myofascial cupping is a modality that creates suction between the silicone cup and your tissue. It can help to increase circulation, help with pain relief, and increase range of motion and soft tissue mobility. Massage is a positive pressure as we're mostly pushing down into the muscle/tissue. Cupping is a negative pressure, as it pulls the tissue up. It's a different stimulus for your tissue and nervous system and might be what you need to start feeling some relief. Sometimes there may be discomfort, but the pressure can be easily adjusted as it should never be painful. With most people, marks are left behind after the cups are removed. This is not bruising but simply an increase in circulation to the areas treated. If marks are left behind, they should disappear within a few days up to a week. Cupping is used in conjunction with massage, so you won't be missing out on that part if you decide to try it! - Offered by Lauren & Lyvia
