Cupping Therapy
About Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is an ancient alternative medicine practice that involves creating suction on the skin using special cups, believed to promote healing and relieve pain. It is a traditional healing method where cups are placed on the skin to create suction.
This suction is thought to enhance blood flow, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation. Cupping therapy has roots in ancient Egyptian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern cultures, with historical texts dating back to 1550 B.C. describing its use for various ailments.
Cupping can help with muscle tension, pain, and restricted movement. You may notice temporary circular marks (similar to a bruise) that typically fade within a few days—these are normal and indicate increased circulation. Cupping can be performed as a stand-alone treatment or combined with massage for enhanced results.
What to Expect
Cups are applied to the skin, creating suction. They may be left in place or moved (sliding cupping). You'll feel a pulling sensation—it should never be painful. After removal, you may see circular marks that fade within a few days. Your therapist will explain aftercare. Cupping is not recommended for certain conditions; please discuss your health history when booking.
