Cupping massages is an ancient healing therapy that some people use to ease pain. A provider places cups on your back, stomach, arms, legs or other parts of your body. Inside the cup, a vacuum or suction force pulls skin upward.
Cupping is a form of traditional Chinese and Middle Eastern medicine. People have practiced cupping therapy for thousands of years.
Experience the Benefits of Cupping Massages
Cupping is an ancient massage technique that uses small cups made of glass, silicone, or plastic to create suction on the skin. This suction draws the skin and underlying tissue upward, which many people find deeply relaxing. Our massage therapists are trained in dry cupping — no heat and no incisions — and most often work it into a hands-on massage session rather than using it on its own.
Safe and Effective Cupping Massages
Cupping is generally considered safe when performed by a trained professional. However, it may cause temporary bruising or soreness. Your therapist will talk you through what to expect before the session begins.
Other Massage Techniques
In addition to cupping, we offer a range of massage techniques that can help you relax and rejuvenate your mind and body. Our services include Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, hot stone massage, and more. We encourage you to talk to one of our massage therapists or healthcare providers to determine which techniques are appropriate for your specific needs and health conditions.

Booking a Cupping Session
Cupping is one of our Specialist Services, booked at the specialist rate rather than the standard session rate:
- 60 minutes – $150 (standard 60-minute session: $125)
- 90 minutes – $200 (standard 90-minute session: $175)
Specialist sessions are given by therapists with advanced training in the technique. Availability is more limited than standard massage, and cupping is not offered at every location. Call and we will tell you who is working and where.
What a Session Is Like
Cups are placed on the back, shoulders, hips or legs and either left in place for a few minutes or moved slowly across the area. Most people describe the sensation as a firm, steady pull. Round marks afterwards are normal and usually fade within a few days to a week.
Is Cupping Right for You?
Cupping is not suitable for everyone. If you are pregnant, take blood thinners, bruise easily, or have a skin condition where you would want the work done, please tell us before you book and we will talk it through or suggest a different session. If you have a medical condition, check with your doctor first.
Not Sure Which Session to Book?
Call us and describe what is going on. We will tell you honestly whether cupping is the right fit or whether a Swedish, deep tissue or Thai session would serve you better.
