Services and Rates
Meet Eva
San Luis Chronic Pain Therapies strives to serve residents of the Central Coast who experience persistent pain in the neck and back.
This business was established in 2018 first in San Luis Obispo, CA.
In addition to therapeutic massages, cupping, gua-sha (or scraping) and assisted stretching are offered. The aim is always to reduce pain and stress while promoting relaxation. I want to help you work through the pain and keep your body happy.

My name is Eva Malama, a graduate of California Holistic Institute, SLO, CA and a California certified massage therapist CMT #77615. I also earned a Masters in Oriental Medicine and trained in Chinese bodywork in 2006 and a certification in cupping therapy in 2017.

Cupping 101
Your Questions, Answered
What is cupping?
It is a bodywork technique that employs negative pressure or suction on the soft tissues and muscles to lift and create space within your fascia and muscle fibers. It feels wonderful on your shoulders and back!
What are the benefits?
Loosens adhesions and restrictions allowing for more range of motion
Brings blood and lymph flow to stagnant areas thus decreasing your pain level
Drains excess fluids and reduces swelling; removes toxins
Engages your parasympathetic nervous system allowing your body to relax deeply
What is the origin?
This healing modality is one of the oldest forms of medical treatments dating back to the ancient Egyptians, Chinese, Greeks, Romans, Persians, Africans, Aztecs and more.
What are those marks?
Those marks are NOT bruises as no damage was inflicted upon the blood
vessels. These marks are the vestiges of toxins, cell waste, stagnant lymph and blood. They fade away within a few hours to two weeks. The colors range from light pink to dark red and purple.
Does it hurt?
No. Under the hands of a skilled therapist, your cupping session should feel good!
