Cupping Therapy

Learn about cupping therapy and what to expect during the session.

What is Cupping?

Cupping therapy is an ancient healing technique that uses suction to pull blood toward the surface of your skin. Practitioners place cups on specific body parts, creating a vacuum effect. The goal is to enhance your body’s natural healing response in those areas. Cups can be placed on your back, stomach, arms, legs, or other body parts.

What to expect?

Talk to your therapist about any health issues or concerns. They’ll tailor the treatment to your specific needs. The therapist will examine your skin to ensure it’s suitable for cupping.

During the session, you’ll feel a gentle pulling sensation as the cups create suction. It’s a unique and sometimes relaxing experience.

Don’t be alarmed if you notice circular marks on your skin—they’re normal. These marks fade within a few days. Drink plenty of water to support the healing process and flush out any released toxins.

Take it easy after your session. Your body may feel rejuvenated, so allow yourself time to rest.

What is the benefit?

Cupping can effectively ease various types of pain, including muscle pain, back pain, and tension headaches. By improving blood flow and releasing muscle tension, it provides relief. The soothing effect of cupping helps you relax both physically and mentally. It’s like a mini spa session for your body.

The suction draws blood to the surface, promoting better circulation. This increased blood flow brings essential nutrients and oxygen to the treated areas.

It may also aid in removing toxins from your body. The suction effect stimulates lymphatic drainage, assisting your body’s natural detox processes.
