Book Your SessionWhat is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping therapy is an ancient technique that uses negative pressure to lift tissue, creating a decompression effect opposite to massage compression. Creates suction that draws blood to the area, releases fascial restrictions, and moves stagnant fluid. The circular marks left behind are not bruises but the result of tissue decompression and increased circulation.
Popular with Bangor athletes seeking enhanced recovery, people with stubborn fascial restrictions, individuals with chronic muscle tightness that hasn't responded to compression techniques, those with limited mobility from tissue adhesions, and anyone interested in complementary therapy alongside manual work.
Uses stationary cupping where cups remain in place for several minutes, dynamic cupping where cups are moved across tissue creating a fascial release effect, flash cupping with rapid application and removal, and integration with massage therapy for comprehensive tissue work addressing both compression and decompression needs.
Common conditions I address in Bangor include addresses fascial restrictions limiting movement, chronic muscle tension, poor circulation to tissues, recovery from intense training, restricted movement from adhesions, respiratory congestion (when used on upper back), and stubborn areas that haven't responded to compression-based massage.

Why Choose Vince?
While cupping has gained popularity, not all practitioners understand proper application, contraindications, and how to integrate cupping with other manual therapy techniques. My cupping training and experience means I use this tool strategically—not because it's trendy, but because it provides unique therapeutic benefits that complement compression-based massage. I educate clients about what the marks mean (tissue response, not damage) and when cupping is most beneficial versus when other techniques are more appropriate. My 5.0-star Google rating from over 62 reviews reflects the real results my clients achieve. Located in Bangor, I offer flexible appointment times Monday through Saturday to fit your schedule.
