One of the questions I get asked most about cupping is:

"Do the marks mean you're bruised?"

Not exactly.

The marks left by cupping are caused by suction drawing blood to the surface of the tissue. Unlike a bruise, they're generally not the result of trauma or damaged tissue.

People often use cupping to help address muscle tension, stiffness, and restricted movement. Many clients say they enjoy the decompression effect, especially in areas that feel chronically tight.

The marks can vary from person to person and typically fade over the course of several days.

Meet Your Therapist

Hi, I'm Jordan, owner of Bespin Massage.

I've been a licensed massage therapist since 2013. I originally entered the profession while looking for a new direction in life, but I quickly discovered how much I enjoy helping people feel better and working with my hands every day.

I specialize in deep tissue massage, sports massage, and cupping therapy. Many of the clients I work with are teachers, nurses, dental hygienists, athletes, and people dealing with the physical demands of everyday life.

My goal is for every client to feel calm and comfortable when they walk through the door and leave feeling more relaxed, mobile, and refreshed.

One thing that makes Bespin Massage different is that I'm independently owned and operated. I don't have quotas to meet or routines to follow. Every session is customized to the individual and focused on what they need that day.

I also wish more people viewed massage as therapy rather than a luxury. Massage can play an important role in helping people manage stress, tension, recovery, and overall well-being.

And for those who have wondered where the name came from—Bespin is a gas giant in the Star Wars universe and home to Cloud City. The name always felt calm and relaxing to me, which is exactly the kind of environment I wanted to create.

One thing I’ve learned as a massage therapist is that stress doesn’t just stay in your head — people carry it physically too.

Tight shoulders.
Jaw tension.
Headaches.
Trouble relaxing even when you finally have time to.

A lot of people come in thinking they just need their back worked on, but once their nervous system finally slows down a bit, they realize how tense they’ve actually been feeling.

That’s one reason massage can leave people feeling calmer, lighter, and more rested beyond just muscle relief.

A lot of people think stress only affects the mind, but it has a very real physical effect on the body too.

When your body stays in a stressed state for too long, your sympathetic nervous system (“fight or flight”) stays more active. That can contribute to:
– Tight muscles
– Headaches
– Jaw tension
– Poor sleep
– Fatigue
– Feeling constantly tense or on edge

Massage can help encourage the parasympathetic nervous system (“rest and recover”) to become more active, helping the body relax and regulate stress hormones more effectively.

That’s one reason people often notice benefits beyond just muscle relief after a session—they feel calmer, breathe easier, and sleep better too.

Things I didn’t expect when becoming a massage therapist:

– How many loads of laundry I’d do every week
– How important good shoes are
– How physically demanding massage can actually be
– How often people apologize for being tense
– And how many clients fall asleep mid-session

There’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes that most people never really think about.

Fresh linens every session, cleaning, laundry, resetting the room, taking care of my own body so I can keep taking care of others—it’s a lot more than just the hour people are on the table.

But honestly, that’s part of what I enjoy about it.

Creating a space where people can finally relax for a little while and leave feeling noticeably better is worth all the extra work that comes with it.

Nobody tells you when you become an MT that one day you’ll spend an unreasonable amount of time thinking about laundry and quarters.

I don’t think people realize how many sheets, blankets, and towels go through the wash every week

Clean linens are a huge part of making sure every client has a comfortable experience… but man, I did not expect quarters to become this important in my life.

Massage therapy has been around for thousands of years.

Different forms of bodywork can be traced back to:
– Ancient China
– Ancient India
– Greece and Rome

Even athletes and gladiators in ancient Rome used massage to help recover, stay mobile, and maintain their bodies.

While techniques have evolved over time, the goal has stayed pretty similar:
Help the body move better, recover, and feel better.

It’s always interesting to remember that something people still rely on today has roots going back thousands of years.

“What is a knot?” is probably one of the most common questions I get.

What people usually call a “knot” is often a tight, irritated spot in the muscle—sometimes called a trigger point.

These areas can develop from:
– Stress
– Repetitive movement
– Poor posture
– Overuse
– Injury
– Or just staying tense for too long

They can feel:
– Tender
– Tight
– Achy
– Or even cause pain in other areas nearby

A lot of people don’t realize how much these spots affect their movement and day-to-day comfort until they finally get worked out.
