Cupping massage in Hoofddorp

A deeper treatment using cups to address stubborn muscle tension, adhesions and tight zones in the back, neck and shoulders. 55 minutes, €60.

What is cupping massage?

In cupping massage, cups are placed on the skin and use negative pressure to lift the tissue upward. Where regular massage pushes, cupping pulls — allowing deeper work in the tissue without needing to be painful.

This increases blood flow to the treated area, loosens adhesions and can relieve stubborn muscle tension that regular massage cannot reach.

When should you choose cupping?

Persistent knots

Areas that remain tight after regular massage often respond well to the suction effect of cups.

Desk work

Long hours sitting load the paraspinal muscles structurally. Cupping reaches those deep layers effectively.

Stress in the back

Stress physically lodges in muscles. Cupping helps release that tension at its deepest level.

Regular massage not enough

If a regular massage feels too superficial, cupping massage can be the next step.

Worth the journey from the wider region

Not every massage therapist offers cupping. Many clients travel from outside Hoofddorp specifically for a quality cupping treatment. The practice is easy to reach via the A4 and A9 motorways, with free parking right outside.

Frequently asked questions

Is cupping painful?

It feels pulling and sometimes intense, but should not be painful. The intensity is always built up gradually and adjusted to your comfort level.

How long do the marks last?

Discolouration fades within 3–7 days. The darker the mark, the more tension was present — subsequent sessions are usually lighter.

What is the difference from relaxation massage?

Relaxation massage is calmer and broader. Cupping is more targeted and intensive on specific tight areas. Not sure? We discuss it during the intake.

For whom is cupping not suitable?

With fever, skin conditions at the treatment site, blood thinners or during pregnancy we prefer not to apply cupping. Please mention this when booking.
