What Is A Cupping Massage?
A cupping massage utilizes specialized glass or plastic cups that create gentle suction on your skin. This therapeutic technique promotes circulation and stimulates the lymphatic system, offering benefits that go far beyond traditional massage.
Through the power of negative pressure, cupping therapy creates a unique deep-tissue effect that enhances healing in multiple ways. The treatment increases blood flow to stagnant muscles, reduces inflammation, and helps break down adhesions in muscle and connective tissue.
Beyond its immediate benefits, cupping massage excels at activating your body’s natural drainage systems. This helps eliminate excess fluids and toxins while stimulating the nervous system for overall wellness.
Cupping Massage Benefits
Cupping therapy offers more than traditional massage—it provides powerful therapeutic benefits through specialized suction techniques. This ancient practice creates targeted healing effects that penetrate deep into tissue, promoting natural recovery and whole-body wellness.
Deep Tissue Release
Specialized suction techniques create targeted pressure that penetrates deep into muscle layers, releasing stubborn knots and adhesions effectively.
Enhanced Circulation
The unique vacuum effect stimulates blood flow throughout treated areas, bringing oxygen-rich blood to tissues and supporting natural healing processes
Pain Management
Strategic cup placement helps reduce chronic pain and inflammation, offering relief for muscle soreness and joint discomfort.
Lymphatic Drainage
Gentle suction activates the lymphatic system, helping to eliminate toxins and reduce swelling throughout the body.
Muscle Recovery
Improved blood flow and tissue release help speed up muscle recovery after exercise or injury, reducing healing time.
Fascial Release
The pulling action helps release restrictions in connective tissue, improving flexibility and range of motion.

What To Expect Out Of A Cupping Massage
During the treatment, your therapist will assess the areas of your body under the most tension and apply cups accordingly to compliment the massage. We will use a vacuum pump inside the cup to make the skin rise, causing your blood vessels to expand.
The cup is generally left in place for up to three minutes and will commonly leave marks on the skin that vary in pattern and color. Depending on your trauma to the affected area, health, and overall lifestyle, these markings can range from light red to dark purple, and usually last from 3-10 days.
The skin will very rarely be sensitive to the touch afterward, though you might experience some soreness if there are large amounts of toxin being released as a result of receiving the therapy.
"I was having lower back issues to the point where it was hard to stand and walk, so I got in for a evening massage with Natasha Philips and she was amazing. Great technique and use of fire cups. I walked out after an hour pretty much pain free. I was a bit tender, but I’ll take that over the tight and painful back muscles any day!"

- Fertility and gynecological disorders
- Migraines and chronic headaches
- Anxiety and depression

What Should I Expect During a Cupping Session?
Your cupping session begins with a brief consultation to discuss your needs and health history. The treatment starts with warming and preparing the tissue through gentle massage. Your therapist then applies specialized cups using controlled suction, which may remain in place or be gently moved across the skin. You’ll feel a pulling sensation that most find pleasant and relaxing. While cupping often leaves circular marks, these are temporary and indicate areas where circulation has been enhanced. The entire session is performed with careful attention to your comfort level.
How Often Should I Get Cupping Therapy?
The frequency of cupping treatments depends on your specific needs and goals:
- For acute conditions: 1-2 sessions per week until improvement
- For maintenance: Monthly sessions
- For athletic performance: Before and after intense training periods
- For stress management: Every 2-3 weeks
Your therapist will create a personalized treatment plan based on your response to the therapy and wellness objectives. We recommend waiting 3-5 days between sessions to allow your body to fully process the treatment’s effects.
Are There Any Side Effects From Cupping?
Common side effects of cupping include circular marks or bruising that typically fade within 3-10 days. These marks are normal and not painful. You may also experience mild tenderness in the treated areas. While these effects are temporary, some people might want to consider timing their treatment around special events where they’d prefer not to show these marks. Cupping should always be performed by our qualified practitioners who will evaluate if this treatment is appropriate for your specific condition.
