Cups may be placed statically or moved along the tissue, depending on your individual needs.
Massage and Cupping
A therapeutic combination of targeted massage and silicone cupping therapy designed to release deep tension, improve circulation, and restore ease of movement.
What is Massage and Cupping
This treatment pairs the hands-on therapeutic benefits of massage with the restorative power of silicone cupping therapy for a deeply effective, integrative session. The massage is tailored to your specific areas of tension, pain, or restricted mobility, while cupping works beneath the surface to lift and decompress soft tissue, support myofascial release, and improve local circulation.
Together, these two modalities create a treatment that goes beyond surface-level relaxation to address the underlying patterns of tension, overuse, and restriction that contribute to chronic discomfort.
Understanding silicone Cupping Therapy
Cupping uses gentle suction to lift the layers of tissue beneath the skin, creating space within the fascia and encouraging fresh blood flow to areas of stagnation and tightness. Unlike massage, which applies pressure downward into the tissue, cupping decompresses, making the two techniques a natural and highly complementary pairing.

What to expect during a Massage and Cupping treatment
Who Should Book It?
Massage and Cupping is ideal for those experiencing chronic muscle tension, tightness from stress or repetitive movement, limited range of motion, or lingering discomfort from overuse or injury. It is also well-suited for those who have tried massage alone and are seeking a deeper, more lasting release. If you are new to cupping, our therapists will guide you through the process and tailor the treatment to your comfort level.
