Located in Sheridan, WY, our massage cupping sessions are customized to each client’s comfort level and wellness goals.

What Is Massage Cupping?

Massage cupping is a form of bodywork that uses suction created by specialized cups to gently lift and decompress the tissues of the body. Unlike deep compression techniques, cupping works by creating space within the tissue, which may help improve circulation, mobility, and overall tissue health.

Cupping may be used in stationary placements or gliding techniques depending on the goals of the session and the areas being addressed.

A Supportive Approach to Therapeutic Bodywork

At Body and Soul Wellness, we believe effective bodywork is about supporting the body rather than forcing it. Massage cupping allows therapists to work with tissue in a different way by creating gentle decompression and encouraging movement within restricted areas.

Sessions are tailored to your comfort level and may be combined with massage therapy techniques depending on your individual needs and goals.

What to Expect During Your Session

Your therapist will discuss your goals, areas of tension, and comfort preferences before beginning treatment. During the session, cups may be placed in specific areas or moved along the muscles using massage oil or lotion.

Some clients experience temporary circular marks after cupping therapy. These marks are generally not painful and often fade within several days.
