Does Cupping Hurt?

Usually, no. Our practitioners make the process as painless as possible. You may feel a mild sensation or tenderness when the cups are placed, and for a few hours afterwards.

The process is considered less painful than remedial massage therapy when applied to extremely tender areas or for patients sensitive to touch.

What Is Myofascial Cupping?

Myofascial Cupping is a remedial massage technique that gently lifts muscle tissue using suction cups. This helps the fascia return to an ideal position while increasing blood circulation.

The technique enhances the body's ability to absorb nutrients within the treated area, speeding up repair of the tissue and its surrounding structures.
