Massage cupping is a therapeutic technique that combines traditional massage with the application of suction cups to the skin. Rooted in ancient healing practices, massage cupping has evolved into a popular and effective method for promoting relaxation, alleviating muscle tension, and addressing various physical concerns. During a session, specially designed cups are placed on the skin and, through suction, lift and separate layers of tissue. This gentle yet impactful process is believed to stimulate blood flow, release fascial restrictions, and encourage the body's natural healing mechanisms.

Before we delve into the intricacies of your session, let's explore the art and benefits of massage cupping. Discover how this time-honored technique can elevate your spa experience, alleviate tension, and contribute to a profound sense of rejuvenation.

Cup Selection
The practitioner selects appropriate cups for the treatment. These cups can be made of various materials, including glass, plastic, or silicone. Glass cups are traditionally used in fire cupping, where a flame is briefly introduced into the cup to create a vacuum before placing it on the skin. In modern silicone cupping, suction is created using a pump or by squeezing the cup to expel air.
Skin Preparation
Before applying the cups, the skin is typically lubricated with oil or lotion to create a better seal and allow the cups to glide smoothly over the skin.
Cup Placement
The cups are then placed on specific areas of the body. The suction created by the cups draws the skin and superficial muscle layers upward into the cup. This can create a tight seal and a sensation of tightness or pulling on the skin.
Massage Techniques
Once the cups are in place, the practitioner may use various massage techniques to move the cups across the skin. This can include gliding the cups along the muscles or using a stationary placement technique where the cups remain in one place.
Duration
The duration of the cupping session can vary depending on the practitioner's assessment and the client's needs. Sessions typically last anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes for a specific area, and multiple cups may be used during a single session.
Marking
After cupping, it's common to see circular marks or bruises on the skin. These marks are caused by the suction and typically fade within a few days to a week. They are not typically painful and are often seen as a sign that the therapy is working.
