Ancient Healing Technique

Cupping Therapy

Increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and release deep muscle tension using traditional and modern cupping methods.

Cupping Therapy

What is cupping therapy?

Cupping therapy is an ancient healing technique that uses suction cups placed on the skin to increase blood circulation, reduce muscle tension, and promote healing. The suction created by the cups draws blood to the affected area, helping to release tight fascia and improve recovery.

I use both traditional fire cupping and modern silicone cups to provide the most effective treatment for your specific needs. Cupping can be used alone or combined with massage therapy for enhanced results.

What to Expect

First Appointment

We'll discuss your health history and treatment goals. I'll explain the process and show you the cups before we begin. You can request either traditional fire cupping or modern silicone cups.

During Treatment

Cups are placed on your skin creating suction. You'll feel a tight pulling sensation - not painful, but distinct. Cups may be left static or moved across the skin depending on the technique used. The sensation is deeply relaxing once you adjust.

After Your Session

You may have circular marks ("cupping marks") that last 3-10 days - this is normal and not bruising. Drink plenty of water, avoid intense exercise for 24 hours, and stay warm. The deep relaxation effect continues for days.

Safety & Contraindications

Cupping is NOT suitable if you have:

  • Blood clotting disorders or taking blood thinners
  • Skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis) in treatment area
  • Sunburn or recent skin damage
  • Pregnancy (especially abdomen and lower back)
  • Active infections or fever
  • Recent surgery (wait 6 weeks minimum)

The circular marks left by cupping are temporary and harmless. Avoid cupping before events where you need to show skin (weddings, beach holidays, etc.).
