Cupping Massage in Puyallup, Washington

Yes, it is common for cupping to leave circular marks on the skin, which may appear red or purple. These marks are not bruises and will usually fade within a few days to two weeks depending on your circulator system. The marks indicate the release of toxins and increased blood flow to the area.

Silicone Cups are soft and flexible, allowing for gentle suction and movement, making them ideal for gliding cupping techniques. They’re great for larger areas and provide a milder, soothing experience. Hard Cupping Plastic offers stronger suction and is typically used for static cupping to target specific areas. These cups are effective for deeper muscle tension, chronic pain relief, and improving circulation.

The amount of clothing you choose to remove is entirely based on your comfort level. Our therapists are trained professionals and respect your preferences. You are welcome to undress fully, remove only certain items or leave clothing on, depending on what feels most comfortable for you. We will always ensure your privacy and modesty are maintained throughout the session. The licensed massage therapist will always step out of the room while you are getting on the massage table. They will knock and wait for your acknowledgement before re-entering the room to begin the session. This procedure is in place to respect your personal space and maintain a professional environment throughout the appointment.

We prioritize your comfort, privacy, and dignity at all times during your session. Draping is a technique in which sheets are strategically placed to cover the areas of your body that are not being worked on. Only the specific areas being treated are uncovered, and they will be draped again immediately after each part of the body is worked on. This ensures that your modesty is preserved while allowing the therapist access to the necessary areas for treatment. You are always in control of how much you choose to uncover, and the therapist will communicate with you to ensure that you feel comfortable and respected throughout the session.

We ask that all clients be mindful of personal hygiene prior to their appointment to ensure a comfortable experience for both you and your therapist. Please refrain from smoking or using substances that may leave a strong odor on your body or clothing before your session. We also request that heavy perfume or cologne not be worn, as fragrances can be disruptive for others in the clinic environment.
