Cupping Therapy

Suction cups added to any massage.

Cupping is added to the massage you book. Your therapist places suction cups along the back, where the suction gently lifts the skin and muscle instead of pressing down on it. Many people add it to a deep tissue massage for stubborn tightness in the back and shoulders. Cupping can leave round marks that usually fade within a few days, so plan around any event where your back will show.
