The main objective of cupping is to draw and increase blood circulation to a specific area on the body.

The treatment is very complementary to our massages, and it is proven to help with back pain, muscle tightness, neck stiffness, stress and tiredness. So all in all, the treatment is ideally suited for easing conditions where mental or physical strain causes aches and pains.

Rather than using  the more traditional fire and glass cup, our registered massage therapists use high grade pliable silicone cups. For the safety of our clients, we opted to use these, as they are more hygienic, are easier to sanitize, offer better contact on even surfaces (such as bony areas), and are much less likely to pop off when moved along muscle fibers.

Also, therapists get a much clearer view of the skin and are able to gauge how the tissue responds to the amount of cupping suction. By having better control of the cups, it is easier to prevent deep pink spots due to pooling.

It is also an effective therapeutic treatment option as it allows for a smooth and flowing cupping massage to reduce tension in the fascia and the muscles.
