Cupping Massage

Cupping is a treatment technique in which small cups are placed on the skin to create a vacuum. The suction gently lifts the tissue and is often used alongside massage to help release tension, work with the connective tissue, and support the body’s natural recovery processes.

Most people describe cupping as an intense but comfortable pulling sensation. The treatment should not be painful, and the level of suction is always adapted to your comfort and preferences. Some areas may feel more sensitive than others, particularly if the muscles are very tight.

Cupping is commonly used for neck and shoulder tension, upper back discomfort, tension headaches, stiffness and soreness after exercise, and tight muscles caused by stress or long hours at a desk. Many people also choose cupping alongside massage when they are looking for deeper relaxation and improved mobility.

Cupping is generally considered a safe treatment when performed by trained therapists. However, it may not be suitable for certain skin conditions, open wounds, or specific health concerns. If you’re unsure whether cupping is right for you, please get in touch before your appointment.

Cupping and massage are different techniques that often complement each other. Massage works primarily through pressure, while cupping uses suction to affect the tissues in a different way. At Copenhagen Float, cupping is offered as an add-on to massage so that your treatment can be tailored to your individual needs.

Yes, cupping works very well in combination with classic or sports massage, where the cups are used as an additional tool to release deep tension.

It is normal to feel relaxed and more mobile after treatment. Some people notice temporary marks on the skin, which typically fade within a few days to a week. We recommend drinking plenty of water and giving your body a little extra rest for the remainder of the day.
