Cupping, known as bekam in this part of the world, is an ancient therapy that uses suction cups to draw up the soft tissue and boost circulation. It has been practised for thousands of years across Asia and the Middle East, and it remains a favourite for releasing deep muscle tension, easing stiffness, and supporting recovery. Our therapists perform dry cupping using clean, quality cups. Home Service Massage Bali brings this traditional treatment directly to your villa or hotel room.
What is Cupping / Bekam?
Cupping (bekam) uses cups placed on the skin to create gentle suction, lifting the underlying tissue to increase blood flow to the area, loosen tight muscles, and encourage the release of tension. The therapist may leave the cups stationary on tight points or glide them over oiled skin for a massage-like effect. We perform dry cupping (suction only, no incisions). It can leave temporary round marks that fade over several days. It is available in 60, 90, and 120-minute sessions.
How It Works
After you book on WhatsApp, your therapist arrives with clean, quality cups, a professional table, fresh linens, and oil. The therapist applies the cups to areas of tension – usually the back and shoulders – creating suction either by hand pump or traditional method. The cups may stay in place for several minutes or be glided across the skin. You will feel a firm pulling sensation that most people find satisfying. The session ends by removing the cups and settling the tissue with gentle strokes.
Benefits of Cupping / Bekam
Who Is It For?
Cupping suits people with tight, knotted muscles, stiffness in the back and shoulders, or those seeking recovery support after activity – it is popular with surfers and active travellers. It also appeals to anyone drawn to traditional therapies. It is not suitable during pregnancy, over broken or irritated skin, or with certain conditions such as bleeding disorders or skin infections. The treatment leaves temporary marks, so avoid it right before an event where you will show your back. Tell us your health situation when booking.
Why Choose Home Service?
Cupping is a hands-on treatment best followed by rest, so having it at your villa or hotel lets you relax immediately rather than travelling while your muscles are freshly worked. You keep full privacy – helpful given the temporary marks – and control the ambience. The therapist brings clean, quality equipment. For couples we can send two therapists, and our home-service rates are well below resort-spa prices.
After Your Cupping / Bekam
Drink plenty of water afterwards and keep the cupped areas warm and covered for the rest of the day. The round marks are normal, are not bruises in the painful sense, and typically fade within 3 to 7 days. Avoid intense exercise, very hot showers, and strong sun on the treated area for the rest of the day. Mild tenderness where the cups were placed is normal and settles quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions – Cupping / Bekam
Which duration should I choose – 60, 90, or 120 minutes?
The 60-minute session (Rp 350.000) focuses cupping on the main areas of tension. The 90-minute session (Rp 500.000) allows more areas plus some massage. The 120-minute session (Rp 600.000) is the most thorough, combining cupping with a fuller body treatment.
Does cupping leave marks?
Dry cupping can leave temporary round marks where the cups create suction. They are normal, usually painless, and typically fade within 3 to 7 days. If you have an event where you will show your back, plan your cupping session with that in mind.
Is your cupping wet or dry?
We perform dry cupping – suction only, with no incisions or bloodletting. It is clean, straightforward, and effective for releasing muscle tension and boosting circulation.
Is cupping safe for everyone?
It suits most healthy adults but is avoided during pregnancy, over broken or irritated skin, and with certain conditions such as bleeding disorders or skin infections. Please tell us your health situation when booking and, if in doubt, check with your doctor first.
How soon can a therapist arrive?
