Cupping Therapy: What It Is & How It Can Help You

Cupping therapy is an ancient healing technique used across cultures—from traditional Chinese medicine to Middle Eastern and Eastern European practices. Today, it’s gaining popularity as a natural and effective method to relieve pain, reduce stress, and support overall wellness.

How Does Cupping Work?

During a cupping session, special cups are placed on your skin to create a gentle suction. This suction pulls the skin and underlying tissues slightly upward, which helps:

• Increase blood flow
• Relieve muscle tension
• Stimulate your body’s natural healing processes
• Support lymphatic drainage

I offer different types of cupping, including:

• Dry cupping: Classic suction without incisions.
• Moving cupping: A relaxing glide of the cups across oiled skin, ideal for muscle relief.
• Fire cupping: A traditional method using heat to create suction in glass cups.

Benefits You May Experience:

• Pain relief for back, neck, shoulders, and joints
• Relaxation and stress reduction, similar to a deep tissue massage
• Better circulation and reduced inflammation
• Support for respiratory health, such as easing asthma or congestion
• Immune system stimulation and detox support

What to Expect

• You may notice circular marks or bruises after your session—these are temporary and a natural response to the therapy.
• Mild tenderness or warmth in the treated area is common.
• Sessions are gentle, safe, and customised to your comfort level.

Note: Cupping is not recommended for individuals with certain medical conditions, so it’s important we review your health history in advance.
