Cupping*

A person receiving a massage with a red silicone cupping therapy on their leg.

Massage cupping is a unique therapy that uses soft, silicone cups that glide across your skin, creating a gentle suction. This lifting action pulls up on your muscles and connective tissue (fascia), increasing blood flow to the area.

This unique modality helps to:

  • Reduce muscle tension and pain

  • Increase range of motion and flexibility

  • Speed up muscle recovery

  • Release fascial adhesions

While the sensation is unique, it shouldn't be painful. Many people find it feels great! After a session, you may notice temporary, painless circular marks on your skin, which typically fade within a few days. Cupping can be a powerful addition to a clinical massage session, especially for relieving back pain, neck pain, and shoulder pain caused by sore muscles and chronic tightness.
