Body Tempering involves rolling various parts of our bodies with metal cylinders. The cylinder’s weight helps to relieve tightness of the muscles by breaking up trigger points and muscle adhesions. It is also reported to help rid our bodies of toxins, specifically from our fascia, veins and nerves. Body Tempering also helps prevent injuries such as hernias, tears, tweaks, muscle ruptures, and protect against trauma. It also helps promote and increase individual performance by allowing our bodies to work more effectively by ironing out muscle adhesions.
KT Taping is used to provide extra support for muscles and joints without restricting range of motion. It helps aid with muscle recovery, prevents cramping/muscle spasms, and enhances muscle development. Our personal trainer can apply the tape in your trouble area (it can be applied almost anywhere on your body!) and it will stay on for about 3 days.

Guasha (Muscle Scraping) is a practice in which a tool is used to scrape client’s skin in order to produce light petechiae. Practitioners believe that Guasha releases unhealthy bodily matter from blood stasis within sore, tired, stiff, or injured muscle areas to stimulate new blood flow to the areas promoting cell repair, generation, healing and recovery.
Suction from cupping draws fluid into the treated area. This suction force expands and breaks open tiny blood vessels under the skin. Your body treats the cupping area like an injury. It sends more blood to the area to stimulate the natural healing process. Some people theorize that cupping clears the pores and releases toxins.
