Relieve Tension. Improve Recovery. Restore Balance.

What Is Cupping Therapy?

Cupping therapy uses specialized cups to create a gentle vacuum against the skin. This suction helps lift underlying tissues, increase blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and promote healing.

Unlike massage, which applies pressure downward into muscles, cupping gently lifts the tissue. Many clients find the combination of massage therapy and cupping particularly effective for relieving stubborn areas of tension.

Depending on your treatment goals, cupping may be performed as a stand-alone service or incorporated into your massage session.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

Your session begins with a consultation to discuss your symptoms, health history, and treatment goals.

Your therapist will place cups on specific areas of the body to create gentle suction. Depending on your treatment plan, the cups may remain stationary or be moved slowly across the skin.

Many clients describe the sensation as a gentle pulling or stretching rather than painful. Circular marks may appear after treatment and typically fade within several days. These marks are a normal response to the suction and are not bruises.
