OUR SERVICES

Targeted Cupping Treatments for Modern Recovery

At Stretch-abilitation, our Cupping Massage techniques merge traditional healing with modern recovery science. This therapy creates suction to draw blood toward the skin’s surface, promoting faster healing, improved mobility, and deep tissue relaxation.

Traditional Dry Cupping

Gentle suction cups are placed on key muscle areas to enhance blood circulation, ease chronic pain, and release deep-seated tension for improved recovery and body performance.

Moving (Dynamic) Cupping Massage

Combines suction with gentle gliding motions, allowing cups to move along the skin. This improves lymphatic drainage, reduces soreness, and boosts flexibility.

Wet Cupping Therapy (Optional)

A traditional detoxifying approach involving light suction and release to remove toxins and encourage cellular regeneration. Performed only by trained specialists with maximum safety.

Sports Recovery Cupping

Perfect for athletes or active individuals. This treatment speeds up muscle repair, relieves tightness, and supports post-workout recovery by targeting deep fascia and strained tissues.

Anti-Stress & Relaxation Cupping

A soothing, low-pressure cupping method to calm the nervous system, reduce fatigue, and promote mental clarity,  ideal for stress management and improved sleep.

Facial & Upper-Body Cupping

Uses smaller, delicate cups to improve facial circulation, tone the skin, and relieve tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back areas.
