to one of our most unforgettable recovery moments! 💥 Cupping therapy on scar tissue? Let’s just say that Cody wasn’t exaggerating when he said it had him in tears 😫

Back in 2020, B Cody Shields shared this raw and powerful experience during his therapy journey with us:

“He’s using a technique called cupping where it creates extreme suction… and moves it around my scar to ‘disrupt’ the scar tissue and loosen it from the underlying muscle.”

It’s not just about healing what’s on the surface. Our team, led by Dr. Wade Rinehart, is trained to help your body move the way it’s meant to—even when it’s tough.

📍Recovery is real. It’s not always comfortable—but it’s always worth it.

🙏 Thanks again, Cody, for trusting us with your healing.
