Cupping in Hoschton, GA
For the tight spots that don't respond to more pressure.
Cupping in Hoschton: suction instead of pressure
Cupping uses suction cups to lift the tissue upward and ease tightness while supporting circulation.
Some tight spots need the tissue lifted off the muscle instead of more pressure. Pressing harder on tissue that is already guarded can make it brace even more, and lifting is a different kind of input.
No single technique works for every kind of pain, so Hart Fandridge, LMT, ES, uses cupping only when it fits what you came in for.
How cupping fits into your visit
Mixed with other work
It sits alongside the other techniques your body needs today.
Explained first
We tell you why we're using it before we start.
No extra charge
It comes with the time you book, never as an add-on.
What cupping costs
At some places, cupping is a line on a menu, added once you're already on the table. Here the price is flat by time, and whatever techniques your problem calls for, cupping included, are part of it.
Every appointment also includes an extra 15 minutes, so talking and changing don't come out of your hands-on time.

Cupping isn't a cure-all
Clients sometimes arrive believing there's one perfect technique, like deep tissue or cupping, that works for every kind of pain, but none does. The technique that frees a stiff shoulder can aggravate a strained low back.
That's why cupping isn't sold here as a package. We start with what your body is doing, choose the tools that fit, and tell you honestly when cupping isn't one of them.

"Very thorough massage focused on fixing my issues. I have severe arthritis and Hart really helps keep moving."
