Cupping Massage is an ancient Chinese form of alternative medicine that's used to remove the congestion, stagnation, and blockage of Qi—the body’s vital life force energy.

Benefits include the following:

Improves circulation: The suction forces blood to flow to the massaged area, activating the lymphatic drainage system. As blood flow increases within vessels and capillaries, tissues receive much-needed nutrients and oxygen.

Eliminates toxins: Cupping detoxifies metabolic debris in muscle tissue, fascia, and skin. When a vacuum is created in the cup, a negative pressure is applied, affecting the tissues four inches below the skin’s surface and releasing these toxins.

Pain relief: Studies show cupping helps reduce inflammation of tissues, increasing range of motion, improving flexibility, and eliminating chronic pain.

Mental benefits: A cupping massage also has therapeutic benefits, like decreasing anxiety and depression. Studies show that serotonin—the so-called happy hormone—is released during the massage, stimulating a parasympathetic response to bring about relaxation and tension relief.

"Troy has been working on me for well over a decade. The reason I keep going back is simple - his therapeutic spin on deep tissue work is powerful and transformative. His techniques like cupping and ortho-massage have helped me with my chronic tension and pain."

Troy has a great understanding and knowledge of musculoskeletal anatomy that is the foundation for the way he approaches treatment. Utilizing Orthopedic massage, he is able to unwind postural deviations that normally would take years to correct.

Troy has been working on me for well over a decade. The reason I keep going back is simple: his therapeutic spin on deep tissue work is powerful and transformative. Why? Because he keeps educating himself, keeps using new (ancient) techniques, like cupping and ortho-massage, to help you uncover the deeper cause of chronic tension or pain, or muscle weakness, and apply that information to heal yourself.

After almost two weeks of stress combined with severe joint and muscle pain, I began deep tissue massage. I was so happy that I could feel the positive effects of the treatments right from the start .....enough that I didn't need medications. At 73 yrs old I am still very physically active and I now have my body and my life back thanks to Troy.

I am a 72 year old lady who was diagnosed with osteoarthritis about 30 years ago. I've tried numerous creams, salves, etc. to ease my joint pain with little to no relief. I was introduced to S.H.A.R.K Joint about a year ago with unbelievable results. I had a thumb that clicked (sometimes with pain) and my thumb joints were getting bigger. Within a few weeks of using the S.H.A.R.K. Joint my thumb stopped clicking and the joints were getting smaller. Now I only use it as needed for pain or inflammation. My household will never be without it!

Shark Detox is, by far, one of my favorite products and has become a daily part of my skin care regime. I use it on my thighs twice a day, and the results have been smoother, tighter skin and a reduction in cellulite. I love that the ingredients are all natural, and the smell and feel of the product is awesome. The product feels like it exfoliates the skin when you first apply it. As it melts into your skin, you can feel the skin tighten. I wear a bathing suit a lot as part of my job, so it's important to me to keep my body looking good. Shark has helped me feel more confident about my problem areas. I give this product 5 stars!
