What Is Cupping Massage?

A plain-language guide to cupping as a massage add-on at Lux Massage Therapy.

What happens

Cups create gentle suction on the skin over areas of tension. They may stay still or move lightly as part of the session. Valarie will explain the process before beginning.

Who considers it

Active clients and people with stubborn shoulder, back, or hip tightness often ask about cupping as a complement to massage—not a cure for medical conditions.

Marks and aftercare

Temporary circular marks can appear and usually fade over several days. Hydrate and avoid extreme heat right after if your skin feels sensitive.
