Cupping is a therapeutic vacuum applied to the skin. This therapy is beneficial to the muscles, fascia, and circulation of the body, and useful for such conditions as painful muscles, restricted range of motion, impaired fluid movement, and acute and chronic injuries.
Cupping benefits include:
- Relaxes fascia and muscles at the superficial and deep levels of the body
- Loosens and releases adhesions to allow for proper movement of tissues.
- Relieves inflammation through improved circulation
- Relaxes the nervous system Increases blood flow to the treatment site
- Moves and drains excess fluids, expels congestion and cellular debris
After treatment care:
Stay warm, keep the area treated covered and avoid exposure to wind, cold, and/or wet weather conditions for the rest of the day Drink plenty of water to encourage elimination of cellular debris from tissues Avoid direct sunlight on the cupped area and extremely hot conditions (such as sauna’s, hot tubs) for the rest of the day Avoid aggressive exercise the rest of the day, but light stretching and range of motion are beneficial
Frequency of treatment:
You may repeat the cupping treatment once your previous cupping marks have cleared. Cup marks vary, and it is common for marks to range between 3-14 days, while some people don’t get them at all. Your marks and colours will tell the practitioner specific information about your condition and is useful for both prognosis and diagnostic purposes.

Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine that has been used for thousands of years. It involves using special cups to create a vacuum on the skin, which helps to stimulate the flow of energy and blood throughout the body. The suction created by the cups helps to loosen tight muscles and increase circulation, which can help reduce pain, inflammation, and muscle tension.
Cupping therapy can also help improve digestion, reduce stress, and boost the immune system. It is a safe and effective form of treatment that can be used to treat a variety of conditions, from headaches to arthritis. Cupping therapy is becoming increasingly popular as people are seeking alternative forms of treatment for their ailments.
