Michael has been awesome for my shoulder and neck pains. he even managed to quiet the loud 'clicks' and 'pops' in my shoulders when i rotate them, something I didn't think was possible. The light bruising from cupping may be a shocker initially, but it fades, leaving you feeling great afterwards. Michael's approach to healing is personal and very effective, talked me through the painful moments too. A thumbs-up for this healer! 110% recommend for pain/tension relief!
