Why Add Cupping?
Focused Attention
Cupping can be incorporated into areas where you’re experiencing tension or want more focused work.
A Different Sensation
Instead of applying downward pressure, cups create suction that gently lifts the skin and underlying tissue.
Complements Massage
Cupping is used alongside your therapist’s regular hands-on massage techniques rather than replacing your massage.
Customized to You
Your therapist can adjust how and where cupping is used based on your goals, comfort, and the areas being addressed.
What to Expect With Cupping
Gentle Suction
Specialized cups are placed on the skin to create suction. The sensation may feel unusual if you’ve never experienced cupping before, but your therapist can adjust it for your comfort.
Targeted Techniques
Depending on your session, cups may be used on specific areas while your therapist incorporates other massage techniques.
Temporary Marks Are Possible
Cupping can leave temporary circular discoloration or marks on the skin. How noticeable they are and how long they remain varies from person to person.

Cupping Therapy FAQs
Curious about adding cupping to your massage? Here are answers to some common questions before your appointment.
Does cupping hurt?
Cupping creates a pulling or suction sensation that can feel unusual, especially the first time. It shouldn’t need to be painful. Let your therapist know if the sensation is uncomfortable so they can adjust the treatment.
Will cupping leave marks?
It can. Cupping may leave temporary circular discoloration or marks where the cups were used. The appearance and how long they remain can vary from person to person.
What does cupping do during a massage?
Cupping uses suction rather than the downward pressure associated with many hands-on massage techniques. Your therapist can incorporate it into focused areas while continuing to use traditional massage techniques throughout your session.
Do I book Cupping as a separate service?
No. Cupping Therapy is a $10 massage enhancement at Tacora. Choose your preferred massage length and add Cupping when booking with a therapist who offers it.
