While cupping might seem unusual, cupping is a therapy treatment that’s been in practice for thousands of years.
Cupping is a form of ancient Chinese medicine. We utilize silicone cups to form a suction on your skin’s surface. This sensation improves your blood flow, allowing the deep layers of your muscles to release.

Recharge your body with a Cupping Treatment
Cupping utilizes a silicone cup that creates a partial vacuum when stuck on the skin. The cup can be repositioned on different areas of the body when the suction is active. This sensation, called gliding cupping, re-starts your body’s circulation.
Cupping is an effective method that stimulates your deep tissues. It can even reach tissues four inches deep from the outside of your skin. Harmful toxins in your body get released and flushed out during this process.
Silicone cupping provides you with numerous benefits, including:
Improved Blood Circulation
Cupping massage helps draw blood closer to the skin’s surface, which increases microcirculation and boosts oxygen delivery to the tissues. This process accelerates cellular repair, making it especially useful for people who experience muscle stiffness, cold hands and feet, or delayed recovery after physical activity. By improving circulation, suction cup therapy can reduce inflammation, ease tension in overused muscles, and support overall healing. Many clients notice greater mobility, less discomfort, and a general sense of lightness after just one session. Those comparing cupping vs massage often find that adding suction cupping provides deeper relief than massage alone.
Lymphatic system activation
One of the lesser-known benefits of cupping massage therapy is how effectively it activates the lymphatic system. Since the lymphatic system doesn’t have a pump, it relies on movement and stimulation to circulate lymph fluid and remove waste from the body. Massage with cupping creates the suction needed to get this system moving, which can reduce swelling and water retention, improve digestion, and strengthen the immune response. People who deal with frequent colds, post-surgical inflammation, or bloating often find that suction cups therapy helps them feel lighter and more energized. Cupping therapy in Edmonton often includes this benefit as part of a full-body treatment.
Deep Tissue Repair
Unlike traditional massage that pushes into the body, cup massage gently lifts the skin and fascia, decompressing the muscles underneath. This makes it particularly effective for releasing deep tension and breaking up adhesions that can form from overuse or poor posture. Suction cup massage is ideal for athletes, office workers, or anyone managing chronic pain in the back, shoulders, or neck. Over time, cupping massage Edmonton clients experience improved flexibility, restored range of motion, and reduced need for pain medication or more invasive treatments. Those looking for relief often consider both cupping therapy price and long-term benefits when choosing between massage cupping and other methods.
Your back isn’t the only place that can receive this treatment. Your ankles, hands, legs, and wrists can all get cupped.
As your nervous system gets engaged by cupping, you’ll experience deep relaxation. You also might encounter improved sleep quality and duration.
Experience Dynamic Silicone Cupping
Our massage therapists use a technique called dynamic cupping where they combine massage movements with the silicone cups. Dynamic cupping enables your body’s fluids to flow throughout your muscles and entire body, decreasing your pain while reducing muscle tension.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cupping Therapy
Does Cupping Hurt?
Cupping massage is generally not painful, but it can feel unusual at first. Most people describe the sensation during suction cup therapy as a strong pulling on the skin. This pressure can be intense in areas where muscles are tight or inflamed, but it shouldn’t be sharp or unbearable. If the suction feels too strong, your therapist can easily adjust the intensity.
Will I Get Bruises from Cupping?
Yes, temporary circular marks are common after a cup massage session. These are not true bruises but a result of blood being pulled to the surface. They usually fade within 3 to 7 days and are part of the healing process.
How Long Does a Cupping Session Take?
A session typically lasts 45 minutes to 120 minutes including consultation. Cups are left in place for 5 to 15 minutes. Therapists may use dynamic cupping by moving the cups while suction is active.
Can Cupping Help with Chronic Pain?
Yes, cupping is effective for chronic pain, especially in the back, neck, and shoulders. It improves blood flow, reduces stiffness, and promotes healing in deep muscle layers.
How Often Should I Get Cupping Therapy?
Frequency depends on your needs. Weekly sessions may help at first, while maintenance every 2–3 weeks is common for wellness.
What Should I Expect During a Suction Cup Massage?
Your session starts with a consultation and massage to warm tissues.
Suction cups are placed on target areas based on symptoms.
Expect relaxation and possibly mild soreness.
Drink water and follow therapist recommendations for aftercare.
