Cupping is very relaxing and generally not painful. It’s essentially a type of deep tissue massage that uses counter-pressure to work into the muscle and fascia to facilitate blood flow. The cups are incorporated into the massage treatment and are placed on the muscles and as well used with a gliding technique. The sensation that is experienced is a pulling of the skin as the cup is moved in a rolling fashion.
