Cupping Therapy

Cupping is an add-on service to our massage treatments that involves placing special cups on the skin to create suction, more specifically used on old injury sites and tough tissues.

  • Cupping therapy can help with a variety of conditions, including pain, inflammation, blood flow and relaxation. It is used to relieve muscle tension, promote relaxation, and alleviate pain in areas such as the back, neck, and shoulders. This ancient practice utilizes negative pressure to gently lift and separate the connective tissues, increasing blood circulation and facilitating the body's natural healing processes.

    Although it is generally safe when performed by a trained professional, it may cause mild side effects such as skin irritation, bruising, or temporary soreness in the treated areas. To ensure a safe and effective cupping experience, it is important to discuss any health concerns, conditions or medications with your practitioner before trying this modality.

  • Cupping therapy can be beneficial for athletes and active individuals to help with muscle strains, injuries, and recovery from physical exertion. Cupping may also be appropriate for people with previous injuries or restricted range of motion, as it can assist in breaking up scar tissue and adhesions that form after an injury and lead to tightness, stiffness, and limited mobility. The suction from the cups helps lift connective tissues away from the underlying muscles, allowing for better blood flow and drainage of fluids that get trapped in adhesions, ultimately improving flexibility and function.

  • This is an add-on to your Relaxation or Deep Tissue Massage and will be used throughout the treatment.
