Cupping therapy in Eugene.

When muscle tension and stiffness won’t let go, targeted suction lifts and decompresses tissue to ease discomfort and support recovery.

What It Is

Suction instead of pressure.

Cupping uses targeted suction to lift and decompress soft tissue. Massage applies pressure to knead muscles, while cupping pulls tissue upward, which can ease deep-seated tension and improve circulation to the area.

Every session starts with a conversation about your health history and concerns. Depending on your needs, treatment may use stationary cupping for focused tension, gliding cupping that moves across the muscle, or warm cupping that combines heat and suction.

Cupping is typically one part of a broader plan, and your provider adjusts techniques as you progress.

Questions, Answered

Cupping, no mystery.

Are cupping marks harmful?

No. The circular marks left by cupping are temporary and usually fade within a few days.

How does cupping compare to massage therapy?

Cupping creates suction to lift and decompress tissues, while massage applies pressure to knead muscles. Both can ease tension, and they serve different purposes, so they often work well together.

What does a cupping session involve?

Your session starts with a review of your health history and concerns. Your provider then chooses techniques such as stationary, gliding, or warm cupping and adjusts them based on how you respond.
