Cupping Therapy by a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT)

Cupping therapy is a therapeutic technique used by Registered Massage Therapists to support muscle recovery, pain relief, and improved circulation. During a cupping session, specialized cups are placed on the skin to create gentle suction. This suction helps lift and separate soft tissues, encouraging blood flow, releasing fascial restrictions, and reducing muscle tension.

When provided by an RMT, cupping is carefully integrated into a personalized treatment plan and may be combined with massage techniques for enhanced results. Clients often experience relief from chronic muscle tightness, restricted range of motion, headaches, and stress-related tension.

Cupping can be performed using stationary cups or gentle gliding movements, depending on therapeutic goals. Temporary circular marks may appear and typically fade within a few days to a week.

Benefits may include:
   •    Reduced muscle and fascial tension
   •    Improved circulation and lymphatic flow
   •    Relief from chronic pain or stiffness
   •    Enhanced mobility and flexibility
   •    Support for injury recovery and stress reduction

Cupping therapy is safe, evidence-informed, and administered with professional care by an RMT to ensure comfort, effectiveness, and client well-being.
