Cupping Therapy in NW Calgary
Experience the healing power of cupping therapy in NW Calgary with the skilled, registered professionals at Relief Recall Massage Therapy. This technique helps increase blood flow, release muscle tension, reduce inflammation, and promote the body’s natural healing process. Cupping is especially beneficial for relieving chronic muscle tightness, improving circulation, and supporting detoxification.
​
We offer 45, 60, 75, 90, and 120-minute sessions; full cupping (up to 12 cups) and 1–2 hot stones are included at no extra cost.
What Is Cupping Massage?
Cupping massage is a therapeutic technique that uses suction cups to gently lift the skin and underlying tissue. This suction increases blood flow, releases muscle tension, reduces inflammation, and promotes the body's natural healing process. Unlike traditional massage, which applies pressure, cupping creates space and movement within the tissues. It is particularly effective for relieving chronic muscle tightness, improving circulation, and supporting detoxification. After a session, some temporary marks or redness may appear; this is a normal response as the body clears stagnation and brings fresh oxygen to the area.
Benefits of Cupping
Feel lighter, looser, and more energized. Cupping therapy offers a wide range of physical benefits, especially for those with chronic tension or inflammation:
Reduces muscle tension and stiffness.
Improves circulation and lymphatic flow.
Supports detoxification and reduces inflammation.
Helps relieve chronic pain in the back, shoulders, and neck.
How It Works
Gentle suction, powerful results. The process is simple, safe, and tailored to your comfort:
-
Cups are placed on the skin to create suction.
-
May be left stationary or moved across the skin (gliding cupping).
-
Temporary circular marks may appear. These are signs of increased circulation, not bruises.
