Cupping

What is it?

Cupping therapy is an ancient healing technique that uses gentle suction to lift the skin and underlying tissues, helping to increase circulation, release muscle tension, and support natural healing. 

How It Works

During treatment, specialized silicone or vacuum cups are placed on the skin to create a mild suction. This helps draw fresh blood and nutrients to the area, promoting faster tissue repair and reducing inflammation. The therapy can be performed statically (cups stay in one place) or dynamically (cups are gently moved along muscle lines).

What to Expect

Cupping is generally comfortable and relaxing. Mild redness or circular marks can appear after treatment. This is a normal response as circulation improves and tissues release tension. The marks usually fade within a few days.
