Cupping Therapy

Cupping is an ancient Chinese therapy that’s based on the belief that certain health problems can be caused by stagnant blood and a poor energy flow through your body.

To fix or prevent those health issues, our cupping practitioners apply cups—typically glass or silicone—to your skin to create a pressure that sucks your skin inward. That increased blood flow can relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation.

Potential reactions Cupping are temporary and may include:

• Cup Kiss Marks: discoloration due to toxins and old blood being brought to the surface.
• Post tenderness: usually less than experienced from deep tissue work.
• Redness and Itching: increased vaso-dilation and/or inflammation brought to the surface.
• Decreased Blood Pressure: due to vaso-dilation and/or nervous system sedation.

Post Treatment:

• After cupping, do not immediately take showers due to the pores on the skin are still opening. You can consider taking shower after 8 hours.
• Drink a lot of warm water to help leach toxin from the body.
• Give appropriate level of protection to the cupping place; do not let the cupping place catch cold.
• The cupping marks will disappear in approximately 2 to 3 weeks.
