Traditional cupping

Traditional cupping is used to support release in areas of tension and restriction.

It involves the application of suction cups to the skin, either held in place or moved gently across the body.

Cupping can help bring awareness to areas of holding, support circulation, and create space through the tissue without relying on force.

How this is used at Solace

At Solace, cupping is used in a controlled, nervous-system–led way.

Cups may be applied statically or used in slow, gliding movements depending on what the body responds to best. Intensity is adjusted in real time, and techniques are only used where appropriate.

The focus is not on creating strong marks or pushing intensity, but on supporting release while maintaining a sense of safety and regulation.

What this may support

Cupping may feel supportive if you are experiencing:

~ areas of tightness or restriction

~ muscular tension

~ a preference for deeper work without heavy pressure

~ a sense of stagnation through the body.

Experiences vary, and sessions are always adapted to comfort and response on the day.

What this is not

This is not used as an aggressive or force-based technique.

Cupping is not applied to create extreme marking or discomfort, and it is not used where the body is not ready for it.

If something is not appropriate on the day, it is adjusted or not used.

How this appears in sessions

Cupping may be incorporated within a treatment where it supports the overall session.

You don’t need to request it. Sessions are practitioner-led, with techniques selected based on what best supports release and ease.
