Cupping Therapy

Cupping is an ancient Chinese therapy where a therapist places cups onto the skin of a client to create suction. This suction effect helps to stimulate the proper flow of qi/prana throughout the body, facilitating blood flow and healing. Cupping is used to treat pain and inflammation, it may also relieve muscle tension, and can be used as a type of deep tissue massage. Cupping is believed to help the body’s resistance to pathogens and encourage cell repair.

Cupping is not suitable for those that:
  • Taking blood thinning medication
  • If the person has skin ulcers, sunburnt, or flesh wound
  • Have an internal organ disorder
  • Children under 4 years old
  • Seniors as the skin is more fragile as we age
  • Pregnant people should avoid cupping the abdomen and lower back
  • Women currently menstruating
