Cupping therapy massage at Andrea Massage and Spa is a traditional therapy that combines suction cups with hands on massage to relieve muscle tightness. It draws clients from Little Neck, Douglaston, Great Neck and Bayside who want a different approach to stubborn tension in the back and shoulders, and it pairs well with the deeper massage work the studio offers.
Come and see us on Douglaston Parkway in Little Neck, NY, where every cupping session begins with a clear explanation. Your therapist describes how the cups work and lets you know that temporary circular marks on the skin are common and fade over several days, so there are no surprises. Google reviews describe the therapist as professional and highly recommend the massage.
Lifting the Tissue Where Pressure Alone Falls Short
Massage strokes warm the area first, then the cups are placed on the tight muscles. Some are held in place to work a single knot, and others are glided slowly along oiled skin to lift the tissue as they move. The suction draws blood flow to the area and loosens the muscle and fascia from a different direction than pressure. Suction strength is adjusted to your comfort, and the session finishes with more hands on massage so the whole area settles.
