The treatment

What is Cupping Therapy?

Cupping is a traditional therapy practised for centuries across South Asia, the Middle East and China. Cups are placed on the skin and a gentle vacuum lifts the tissue upward. This is the opposite of massage, which presses down. The lifting sensation can feel unusual at first, then surprisingly relaxing.

We offer dry cupping only. Cups may be left in place (static cupping) or glided over oiled skin (moving or 'massage' cupping), usually on the back and shoulders. Cupping often leaves temporary round marks that fade within a few days. They are not bruises from injury but a normal response to suction.

Hygiene is non-negotiable. Cups are single-use or sterilised between guests, and your therapist always works with clean hands and fresh linen.

Cupping vs Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage presses into the muscle. Cupping lifts the tissue with suction. Many guests combine both: deep tissue for knots, cupping for broad areas of tightness.

If you dislike strong pressure but want deep release, cupping may suit you.
