The Cup of Sunshine 90Min Cupping Massage includes hands-on work on any or all of the following areas: cranium, jaw, neck, shoulders, pecs, upper back, mid back, low back, arms, hands, hips, glutes, hamstrings, quads, lower legs, and feet. You are always welcome to ask Jennifer to skip any of the areas listed above for any reason. This massage also allows you to choose 1–2 of the above areas for cupping massage during your session. 

Cupping massage therapy is great for increasing circulation to areas of chronic stagnation due to old injuries, postural patterns, or repetitive movements. Cupping massage can sometimes cause cupping marks on the body in the process of relieving this chronic stagnation and increasing circulation to the area being cupped; the vacuum-like suction of the cup pulls static blood, lymph, and cellular debris from old injuries deep within the muscle up to the skin’s surface, creating a reddish or purple mark and freeing up the area for oxygen, nutrients, and living cells to move in, thereby speeding healing and recovery. 

These marks are *not* bruises, although they do bear a slight resemblance. (Bruises are caused by blunt force or trauma to an area. Bruising is a sign of an acute injury.) 

Everything from how frequently you sweat to your skin tone to how much stagnation exists within a given area can affect if and how you mark up after your cupping massage, how noticeable the marks are, and how long they last.
