Cupping

Use the power of suction to lift tissue, improve blood flow, and clear stagnation.

Modern Cupping

While most massages push down on the muscle, Cupping Therapy pulls it up. This ancient technique uses medical-grade cups to create a vacuum, lifting the skin and fascia to allow for a level of circulation and detoxification that manual massage can’t achieve alone.

Decompressing the Body

Cupping is incredibly effective for the “tight” feeling often found in the upper back and shoulders. By decompressing the tissues, we create space for fresh blood and nutrients to flood the area, speeding up the healing of old injuries and chronic aches.

The Key Benefits

  • Deep Tissue Decompression: Releases stuck fascia and tight muscle bands.

  • Lymphatic Drainage: Helps the body move fluid and toxins out of stagnant areas.

  • Respiratory Support: Can help clear congestion in the lungs when applied to the back.

  • Quick Tension Relief: Ideal for those who feel “tight” but don’t want deep pressure.

What Your Session Looks Like

Your therapist will place cups on the skin and create suction. You may feel a tight, stretching sensation. The cups may be left in place for several minutes or moved across the skin in a “gliding” motion with oil.

FAQs

Will it leave marks?

Yes, it often leaves circular discolorations. These are not bruises; they are "static blood" being pulled to the surface. They usually fade in 3–7 days.

Does it hurt?

Most people describe it as a "strong tugging" or "pinching" feeling that becomes very relaxing after a few minutes.

Can I go to the gym after?

We recommend waiting 24 hours to let your body process the treatment.
