The Treatment in Depth
Cupping is an ancient therapy with a firm place in modern recovery, added to any massage to deepen its effects. Suction cups are placed on the skin to create gentle negative pressure, lifting the tissue to improve blood flow, release tight fascia, and encourage the body to recover more efficiently.
As an add-on, cupping complements hands-on bodywork by reaching tension in a different way, drawing fresh circulation to congested areas and helping stubborn knots let go. It is widely used in athletic recovery and for managing chronic muscular pain.
You may notice temporary circular marks where the cups were placed. These are a normal result of the increased circulation and typically fade within a few days.
Key Benefits
How It Works
Placement
Your therapist positions cups over key areas of tension and creates gentle suction, drawing fresh circulation into the tissue below.
Dwell or Glide
The cups may rest in place or glide across the muscle to broaden the effect, working in tandem with the massage to maximize release.
Removal & Massage
Once the cups are removed, your therapist may massage the area to integrate the work, and any circular marks left behind will fade within a few days.
