seeks to balance that energy and correct any problems or
points of restriction. Moreover, cupping effectively
loosens adhesions, commonly known as knots and increases
blood flow to the areas underneath the cups. This helps
to invigorate the surrounding tissues draining waste and
debris away from the area. Finally, cupping therapy

Rejuvenating Massage®. After years of
natural health practices, the owners of Carrico Therapy
Center formulated this therapeutic massage that focuses
primarily on facial muscles. When such muscles become
overly tensed either due to postural changes of response
to stress, the associated skin area may also contract
giving the appearance of lines or wrinkles. Also, tensed
areas could be prone to a decrease of nutrients such as
oxygen, protein, and etc. Therefore, the therapist will
focus on the relaxation of specific tensed facial
muscles, localized acupressure, and the application of
herbal massage oils and creams specially chosen to
enhance the elasticity and tonicity of facial muscles.
