What to Expect from a Cupping Massage
A modern take on an ancient healing technique
What is Cupping Therapy Massage?
Cupping therapy massage uses soft silicone cups to gently lift the skin and fascia, the connective tissue surrounding your muscles. This creates a suction effect that helps release tension, improve circulation, and encourage fascia to loosen up. The result is deeper access to muscles, allowing for more effective relief from tightness and pain.
Unlike traditional glass cups, silicone cups are flexible and comfortable, allowing smooth, controlled movement across your body during the massage.
How Does Cupping Massage Work with Other Techniques?
Cupping works best alongside medium to deep pressure massage styles like deep tissue or therapeutic massage. The suction helps to speed up fascia release, so muscles relax faster. This means your session can focus more on deeper muscles and lasting relief.
This therapy is not a light, gentle treatment—it’s targeted, effective, and designed to unlock chronic tension, improve range of motion, and support recovery from injuries.
What Are the Benefits of Cupping Therapy?
Cupping massage supports:
Fascia release to improve muscle function
Reduced muscle stiffness and pain
Enhanced circulation and lymphatic flow
Relief from chronic tension and injury-related tightness
Better flexibility and postural balance
It’s ideal for active individuals, athletes, or anyone carrying deep muscle soreness or fascia restrictions.
What to Expect During Your Session
Sessions include hot towels and magnesium cream to relax muscles and enhance recovery. The cups glide smoothly across your skin, creating a soothing yet powerful sensation that helps your body reset.
Cupping therapy typically uses medium to deep pressure and lasts 60 to 90 minutes depending on your needs. In shorter sessions, cupping may be applied as focused spot treatment, often on the back.
