Cupping Therapy

An ancient healing method, cupping therapy involves placing special cups on the skin to create suction. This gentle vacuum effect draws the skin and underlying tissue upward, stimulating blood flow, loosening tight muscles, and promoting natural detoxification. Cupping is often used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation. While traditionally used in Eastern medicine, it has become popular in modern wellness for its ability to support recovery and provide a unique sense of relaxation. The treatment may leave light, temporary marks on the skin—evidence of increased blood flow and healing in those areas.

Cupping therapy works by creating suction on the skin using specialized cups made of glass, silicone, or plastic. The suction pulls the skin and superficial muscle layers upward, stimulating circulation and encouraging lymphatic drainage. Some sessions may include stationary cupping, where the cups stay in one place, or dynamic cupping, where the therapist moves the cups along the skin. This process helps break up stagnation, ease muscle tension, and promote detoxification. The result is a deep sense of relief and renewal, especially for those experiencing chronic pain or stiffness.
