What happens in your session
Your 90 minutes experience begins with a brief consultation to review comfort, recent activity, and any health information that may affect treatment. On the table you'll be positioned for access to targeted areas while covered; therapists adjust pressure, stone heat, and cup placement for comfort. The session is paced to balance deep work with restorative moments.
Expect sensations of warmth from heated stones and the distinctive pressure from cupping; individual responses vary, and therapists continually check in. The combined approach is used to help ease muscular tension and encourage circulation without promising medical outcomes. After treatment you'll have a brief recovery period before dressing and discussing home care suggestions suited to Fircrest lifestyles.
How stones and cups work
Heated stones deliver concentrated warmth that therapists apply to larger muscle groups, using the thermal effect to complement manual techniques. Cupping creates localized suction with flexible cups placed briefly or moved along soft tissue; both methods are integrated to offer varied sensations and targeted attention rather than a single technique.
Therapists modulate stone temperatures and cup duration to match comfort and treatment goals, and they may alternate techniques for different body regions. The result is a treatment designed to address tension in layers—surface and deeper muscles—while remaining adaptable to your response during the 90 minutes session.
