Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy uses gentle suction on the skin and may be used to address muscle tension, soreness, and related discomfort.

What is this treatment?

Cupping is a Traditional Chinese Medicine therapy that uses cups to create suction on selected areas of the body.

It is commonly used for neck, shoulder and back discomfort, muscle tension, and sports or everyday overuse. Your practitioner will assess your symptoms and condition before determining the appropriate areas, technique, and duration of treatment.

Cupping may also be combined with acupuncture, Tuina, or other TCM therapies when appropriate.

What to Expect

Before treatment, your practitioner will review your symptoms and health condition and examine the area to be treated.

During treatment, the cups create suction on the skin. You may experience a pulling, tight, or warm sensation. Temporary circular red or purple marks may appear after treatment and generally fade over time.

Your practitioner will adjust the treatment according to your skin and individual response and provide relevant aftercare advice.
