Cupping / Scraping
Release what's holding your body back.
Cupping and scraping are two of the most time-tested recovery techniques available — and together, they create a powerful 45-minute session that breaks up tension, improves circulation, and accelerates tissue healing. Cupping uses suction to loosen adhesions and move stagnant fluid. Scraping uses medical-grade tools to address soft tissue dysfunction at a deeper level. It's common for both treatments to leave temporary marks on the skin — this is a completely normal part of the healing process and a sign your body is responding.
HOW IT WORKS
Cupping
Silicone or glass cups are applied to areas of soft tissue dysfunction, creating suction that lifts the tissue, loosens scar tissue and adhesions, removes lactic acid and waste products, and enhances blood and lymphatic circulation.
Cupping can be performed two ways:
- Static Cupping — cups are placed and held on specific spots for a few minutes.
- Dynamic Cupping — cups are moved along the length of a muscle to address a broader area.
Scraping (IASTM)
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization uses medical-grade stainless steel tools — similar to Gua Sha, the Graston Technique®, or Hawk Grips® — to target stressed muscles, tendons, and ligaments. This promotes better circulation, accelerates recovery, and helps restore tissue length and function.
