CUPPING THERAPY · SUNNYVALE
Cupping massage in Sunnyvale for back, shoulder & leg tension.
A recovery-focused session for broad muscular tightness and areas that feel compressed after training, sitting or repetitive work.
START WITH HOW IT FEELS
Cupping is one part of the session—not the whole story.
We use controlled suction on selected areas and pair it with massage. Placement, intensity and time are adjusted carefully, with clear communication before and during the technique.
Selected areas only
Cups are placed where they fit the session plan—commonly the back, shoulders, waist or hips.
Adjustable intensity
Suction can be reduced or stopped immediately. Stronger is not automatically better.
Clear aftercare
Temporary circular marks can occur. Your therapist explains what to expect before beginning.
BODY AREAS & MUSCLE FOCUS
Choose the area before choosing the suction.
If you are looking for cupping for back pain or shoulder tension, start by describing the muscular tightness you feel. Cups are optional tools within a massage session, with placement based on comfort and suitability.
Upper back & shoulder-blade region
The trapezius covers the upper back, and the rhomboids lie between the shoulder blades. Hands-on work and suitable cup placement can be planned around the broader upper-back region after prolonged computer work.
Mid-back & lower-back muscles
Latissimus dorsi spans the sides of the back and erector spinae runs beside the spine. Describe where the back feels tight after driving, bending or lifting; cups are used only where the therapist considers them appropriate.
Thighs & calves
Hamstrings at the back of the thighs and the calf muscle group can be discussed for a leg-focused session. The therapist checks skin and comfort before deciding whether suction or hands-on massage is a better fit.
How does your workday feel in your body?
Laptop posture, long drives, repeated reaching and physical shifts are useful intake details. Tell us where discomfort appears and whether visible cupping marks would be a concern at work.
FOCUSED CARE + FULL-BODY RELAXATION
Cupping within a complete massage
Air-suction cups can be used on suitable back, shoulder or leg areas while hands-on massage covers the rest of the body. Ask for 90 or 120 minutes if you want a slower full-body session with selected cupping.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Massage first. Cupping where it fits.
Screen for comfort
Tell us about skin sensitivity, medications, recent procedures or anything that may make cupping inappropriate.
Prepare the area
Hands-on massage warms the selected muscles before stationary or gliding cups are introduced.
Close with calming work
Cups are removed and the session finishes with slower massage around the treated area.

Directions to the Sunnyvale studio ↗GOOD TO KNOW
Clear answers before you book.
Can cupping massage include my back and legs in one appointment?+
Yes, when both areas are suitable for the technique. Choose 90 or 120 minutes to allow time for hands-on massage and selected cup placement. Suction is adjustable, temporary marks may occur, and you can ask to skip cups in any area.
Will cupping leave marks?+
It can. Temporary circular discoloration varies by person and technique. Tell us if you want to minimize visible marks or have an upcoming event.
Who should check before booking cupping?+
If you are pregnant, use blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, fragile or irritated skin, a recent procedure, fever, infection or significant health concerns, ask an appropriate healthcare professional first and tell the therapist before treatment.
Is cupping booked by itself?+
This service pairs cupping with hands-on massage. You can also add cupping to a compatible massage when that option is available.
Is this medical treatment?+
No. Lyra Spa provides wellness massage for muscular relaxation, everyday comfort and recovery support. We do not diagnose or treat medical conditions. Sudden, severe, worsening or neurological symptoms should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
Should I choose 60, 90 or 120 minutes?+
Choose 60 minutes for one clear priority, 90 minutes for a priority area plus connected areas or full-body work, and 120 minutes when several areas need unhurried attention.
Where do I park?+
Free parking is available behind the building. Lyra Spa is the second shop on the right. Please arrive 5–10 minutes early for your first visit.
