Cupping

Cupping is a type of alternative therapy that originated in China. It involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. The suction may facilitate healing with blood flow.

Many Taoists believe that cupping helps balance yin and yang, or the negative and positive, within the body. Restoring balance between these two extremes is thought to help with the body’s resistance to pathogens as well as its ability to increase blood flow and reduce pain.

Cupping increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed. This may relieve muscle tension, which can improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair. It may also help form new connective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue.

People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.

At Massage Sense we offer Cupping as a complement to our Sports  and De-Stress Massage, not as a singular treatment.

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.

PLEASE NOTE:
We do not work with any insurance company, so make sure to contact your health insurance company and check your policy coverage.

Do not use massage therapy to replace your regular medical care or as a reason to postpone seeing a health care provider about a medical problem.

If you have a medical condition and are unsure whether massage therapy would be appropriate for you, discuss your concerns with your health care provider.

Dear Esteemed Clients,
 
We wanted to inform you that we will be updating our prices gradually starting February 19th to ensure our services remain in line with current economic conditions. This process will be completed before March 1st.
Here’s a summary of the upcoming changes:
 
* Appointment Prices: Appointments booked before the price update, whether fixed or flexible, will be honored at the price quoted upon booking. If our system updates prices before your appointment, your therapist will ensure the correct pricing is applied based on your booking record.
* Loyalty Packages: While the prices of our loyalty packages will be updated, your existing package will remain unaffected. You can continue enjoying the benefits of your package until your credits expire or are fully utilized.
* Gift Cards: The prices of our gift cards will also be adjusted. If you have purchased or received a gift card before the price update, there may be an additional amount to pay to match our new prices. However, rest assured that gift card amounts will always be used as credit towards any session.
 
We appreciate your understanding and support as we strive to maintain the quality you expect from Massage Sense.
