Massage Therapist Heather Hall, LMT, of Creative Massage & Other Techniques, Inc., operating out of Lake View Chiropractic, offers cupping treatments to help clients find relief from pain, reduce inflammation, and enhance mobility naturally. Cupping therapy is an ancient healing technique that has been used for centuries to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote overall wellness.
During a cupping session, special plastic hand-pumped vacuum cups to create precise, adjustable suction without fire are placed on the skin to create gentle suction. This process helps draw blood flow to the surface, loosening tight muscles, releasing fascial restrictions, and promoting the body’s natural healing process. Many clients describe the experience as deeply relaxing and revitalizing.
Benefits of Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy isn’t just for athletes-it’s beneficial for anyone seeking relief from physical tension or stress. Some of the most common benefits include:
-
Reduces muscle tightness and tension
-
Improves blood flow and lymphatic drainage
-
Supports faster recovery from workouts or injury
-
Helps alleviate chronic neck, shoulder, or back pain
-
Decreases inflammation and promotes relaxation
When combined with therapeutic massage, cupping can amplify results, providing a deeper release without added pressure.
What to Expect During Your Cupping Session
Before beginning, your massage therapist, Heather, will discuss your goals and areas of concern. Cups are then strategically placed along specific muscle groups to target tension or stagnation. You may feel a gentle pulling sensation as the suction works to bring fresh oxygen and nutrients to the tissues.
Depending on your body’s needs, cupping may be used as a focused treatment or combined with traditional massage for a more integrated experience. After your session, mild redness or circular marks may appear-these are normal and typically fade within a few days.
