What is Cupping Massage?

At SkinSymphony in Nijmegen, our Cupping Massage is a results-driven treatment designed to release deep tension, improve circulation, and support your body’s natural detox processes.

Using specialised cups, we create a gentle suction on the skin that lifts and decompresses the muscles and fascia. This makes cupping especially effective for areas that hold chronic tension—like the shoulders, neck, and back.

Unlike traditional massage, which presses into the tissue, cupping works by lifting and separating layers, allowing for a deeper and more targeted release.

How Does Cupping Massage Work?

Your treatment at SkinSymphony is fully tailored to your body and needs.

We use a combination of:

• Static cupping – cups placed on specific tension points
• Dynamic cupping – gliding cups across the skin using nourishing oils

This technique helps to:

• Increase blood circulation
• Stimulate lymphatic drainage
• Release tight fascia and muscle knots
• Draw stagnation to the surface

The result is a feeling of lightness, release, and improved mobility.

The Benefits of Cupping Massage

Perfect if you carry stress in your upper body or work long hours at a desk.

Improved blood flow supports healing and leaves the skin looking fresher and more radiant.

• Upper back & shoulders

Are Cupping Marks Normal?

Yes — cupping marks are a natural part of the process and nothing to worry about.

They:

• Range from light pink to deep purple

They are not bruises and are typically painless.
