Cupping

Duration: Cupping Therapy can be added to any massage session, typically adding 15 to 30 minutes to your treatment.

Cupping adds suction to hands-on bodywork. Your therapist places cups on the skin and draws a vacuum, lifting the tissue instead of pressing down on it. It is a complement to your massage, not a replacement for medical care.

What to expect:

Your therapist seals cups over the areas that need work, then either holds them in place or glides them across oiled skin. Stationary cups can leave temporary, bruise-like marks that fade over several days; your therapist will tell you what to expect before starting.

Benefits:

• Layers with your session: An add-on to hands-on massage that targets what the hands could not fully release.

Who Can Benefit:

• Clients carrying dense, stubborn muscle tension that direct pressure has not cleared.
• Active people around Clearwater and Dunedin recovering from training.
• Anyone curious about adding cupping to a deep tissue or sports session.

Note: Tell your therapist about any skin sensitivities, blood thinners, or areas to avoid before adding cupping. The temporary marks are normal and not a sign of injury.
