✨ Cupping for generalized back tension & discomfort ✨

This is a general example of how I may place cups when working with someone who has overall tension or discomfort throughout the back.

The placement can vary from person to person depending on where they’re holding tension, their symptoms, and what I find during the massage. Cups may be used to help increase circulation, decrease muscle tension, and encourage relaxation of tight tissues.

Cupping is just one tool I can incorporate into a massage session when it’s appropriate for the client.

Cupping before & the day after 🫧

If you’ve ever wondered what those little circles are after cupping… this is why!

Cupping uses suction to help increase blood flow to the area and can help with muscle tension, tightness, and overall relaxation.

And yes, the marks are normal! They can range from light pink to dark purple depending on your body and how you respond to the cups. They aren’t technically bruises from being hurt, but they can look similar and usually fade within a few days.

The darker the mark does NOT mean the better the treatment! Everyone’s skin responds differently. 🤍

Cupping is one of my favorite things to add onto a massage when your muscles need a little extra attention.

Just your friendly reminder… 💛

You don’t have to “earn” a massage.

Whether you’re dealing with tight muscles, headaches, stress, or you simply need a break, taking care of yourself is worth it.

If you’ve been saying, “I really need to book a massage,” consider this your sign. 😉 I’d love to help you feel your best!

I appreciate you guys, but you sure make me work for it sometimes 😂
