Did you know? Ventosa marks aren’t bruises. They’re signs of tension release.
Those circular marks appear when deep muscle tension and stagnant blood flow are brought to the surface. Ventosa cupping works by improving circulation, relaxing tight muscles, and supporting the body’s natural recovery process. The marks fade on their own and are a normal response to effective therapy.
At Dr. Massage, ventosa is carefully performed to target stress points caused by long hours of sitting, working, or physical strain. Healing doesn’t always look pretty, but it feels better.
