Cupping massage combines hands-on massage with cups that use suction to lift the skin and the tissue under it. It is often used on the back, shoulders and legs.

What clients say

“Had a swedish massage done by Delena. Very good and professional service. She asked beforehand about any special conditions and areas of focus. And also asked at various times during the massage if I wanted the pressure to be adjusted. Delena did a great job and I would come back!”
Chris Oh · Downtown Brooklyn · Google review
“I try out various massage spots but this one is a keeper. … Even during the massage my therapist made sure they were getting the spots I requested, offering to focus on those areas longer.”

What happens in a session

  1. Check-in

    Tell your therapist where you feel tight, and about any skin conditions, blood thinners or bleeding problems.

  2. Massage and cups

    The therapist uses massage together with cups placed on or moved across the skin.

  3. A pulling feeling

    Suction feels like a strong pull. It shouldn’t be painful; ask for less suction if it is.

  4. Marks afterwards

    Round marks are common and usually fade over several days.

Before you book

Skip cupping or check with a doctor if you

  • Have a bleeding disorder or take blood thinners
  • Have eczema, psoriasis, broken skin or sunburn in the area
  • Are pregnant
  • Have an event where visible marks would be a problem

After your session

  • Expect circular marks for a few days
  • Keep the area out of strong sun and avoid very hot showers that day
  • Drink water and move gently

What the research says

Cupping may help reduce some types of pain, but the evidence is limited and mostly low quality. Side effects can include lasting skin discoloration, burns (with heated cups) and flare-ups of skin conditions (NCCIH).

We offer cupping as part of a massage because many clients like how it feels, not as a treatment for a medical condition.

Questions people ask

How much is cupping?

$125 for 60 minutes in Bushwick and $135 Downtown.

Will cupping leave marks?

Usually, yes. Round marks are normal and tend to fade within days, sometimes longer.

Can I have cupping and deep tissue in one session?

The cupping session already includes massage. Tell your therapist which areas you want worked on.
