Therapies & Modalities
Cupping Therapy
A traditional technique, applied professionally, often used alongside massage or manual therapy for muscle tightness.
Overview
About Cupping Therapy
Cupping uses cups that create gentle suction on the skin, lifting the underlying tissues. It is commonly used alongside massage or manual therapy for areas of muscle tightness.
Cupping can leave temporary circular marks that usually fade over several days. Your practitioner will explain what to expect before beginning.
Cupping therapy vs. cupping therapeutic massage
Cupping therapy is offered as its own service. Cupping techniques can also be built into a registered massage therapy treatment, which we call cupping therapeutic massage. Your therapist will recommend the approach that suits your goals.
