Cupping Therapy in Madison, WI –
Targeted Relief for Muscle Tension
Cupping is an ancient healing practice used in massage therapy to promote circulation, reduce muscle tension, and support the body’s natural detoxification process. This technique uses gentle suction to lift the skin and underlying tissues, creating space and encouraging fresh blood flow.
By creating negative pressure, cupping therapy helps release stagnation and provides relief for deep muscle tightness, chronic pain, and restricted mobility. It’s especially effective when a muscle is hypertonic (aka stuck), allowing for deeper, more targeted work—without adding pressure.
Many clients in the Madison area report feeling lighter, looser, and more balanced after a cupping session.
Important Note: Cupping is not recommended for individuals on blood-thinning medications, as it may increase the risk of bruising and bleeding under the skin.
