Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Cupping Massage - 90 Min.

During the 90-minute session the therapist assesses your needs, applies cups to targeted areas, and integrates massage techniques. Expect gentle pulling sensations, warmth, relaxation, and possible temporary circular marks that fade over time.

Most clients report mild pulling or tightness rather than sharp pain. The therapist tailors suction and pressure to your comfort. If you feel significant discomfort, speak up and adjustments will be made immediately.

Cupping marks often resemble bruises and usually fade within three to ten days depending on intensity, skin type, and circulation. Hydration and gentle care can help the marks resolve more quickly.

Cupping is not advised for open wounds, active skin infections, severe varicose veins, recent fractures, bleeding disorders, or without medical clearance during pregnancy. Always disclose medications and health history before treatment.

Frequency depends on your goals: acute issues may benefit from weekly sessions initially, while maintenance often looks like treatments every three to six weeks. Your therapist will recommend a personalized schedule.

Arrive hydrated, avoid heavy meals and alcohol beforehand, wear loose clothing, and inform your therapist about medications, recent procedures, or skin sensitivities to ensure a safe, effective session.
