Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions does cupping help with?
Cupping therapy is used to relieve chronic pain, arthritis, migraines, respiratory issues, and skin conditions by improving circulation and reducing tension.
Are cupping marks harmful?
No. The marks left by cupping are temporary and indicate the release of stagnant blood and toxins. They fade within a few days, leaving you with improved circulation and reduced muscle tightness.
How does cupping compare to massage therapy?
Cupping works by creating suction to lift and decompress tissues, enhancing circulation and reducing deep-seated tension. Massage, on the other hand, applies pressure to knead muscles. Both treatments are effective but serve different therapeutic purposes.

Camille has been amazing! She has already helped me make progress with an issue that had been bothering me for months and that I’d been having trouble pinpointing because nothing was showing up on x-rays. Camille was able to identify the issue in the first meeting and immediately gave me exercises to help and solutions to allow me to keep exercising and doing the activities that I love. She’s also done an amazing and thorough job analyzing my flexibility, strength, and range of motion across my whole body and is super encouraging and detailed when giving me instructions on what exercises to do.

To say Camille is Amazing is an understatement. I was at a Christmas tree lot recently and realized that I was wrangling and holding up trees with my Left Arm. This is significant because I’ve had an injury in my left shoulder that goes back at least a year. In the beginning of the year I went to a different PT practice and after a month of going nowhere, I drove 40 minutes to Ascend to see Camille. I/we made more progress in the first session than the month of sessions elsewhere! My shoulder pain had gotten bad enough that I had to significantly reduce my own client load (I’m a bodyworker). In the last quarter of this year I’ve been able to see double the amount of clients I could see in the first quarter. I can pull a shirt off and on overhead without pain. I can reach the top shelf without pain. I can work on my clients without pain. I can lift heavy things without risk of injury and pain. My core is stronger, I move better, I am up and down off the floor without having to baby my shoulder or feeling weak. And apparently I can wrangle Christmas tress with no repercussions. This woman saved me from a life of crippling inactivity and restriction. I can actually work on mobility and strength now – not just surviving and rehabbing a labrum tear. It’s been worth every out of pocket penny. If you want to actually get better, learn how to move more functionally, and get stronger, this is the place and Camille is the one. This is truly physical therapy. Focused. One on one. An individual treatment plan based on your body, not a protocol. I cannot recommend her enough! In fact I recommend her to many of my own clients. If you want results, you will get them here.
