During a cupping treatment, a cup is placed on the skin and then suctioned onto the skin.

At Massage Sense we use rubber pumps to create suction versus more traditional heat methods.

The cup is set in place for a set time, usually between 5 and 10 minutes Your skin may turn red as the blood vessels respond to the change in pressure.

There aren’t many side effects associated with cupping. The side effects you may experience will typically occur during your treatment or immediately after.

You may feel lightheaded or dizzy during your treatment. You may also experience sweating or nausea.

After treatment, the skin around the rim of the cup may become irritated and marked in a circular pattern.

Other side effects may include: mild discomfort, or hematoma (bruisers)

If you plan to have regular  Massage sessions at Massage Sense, we developed several discounted packages that will certainly meet your needs.
