Cupping Therapy

What it is

A manual therapy technique where suction cups are applied to the skin, often moving or static, to increase blood flow, reduce muscle tightness, improve lymphatic drainage, and promote healing in deeper tissues.

What Happens In The First Visit

Consultation & Education

Begin with a clear explanation of cupping: what to expect, how it feels, and any contraindications such as skin conditions or sensitivities.

Target Area Assessment

Identify muscles or regions with tension, discomfort, or pain to ensure treatment is focused where it’s needed most.

Cupping Application

Apply cups with tailored techniques — static holds, sliding movements, or “flash” cupping — and adjust time under suction to suit your needs.

Integrated Approach

Combine cupping with complementary therapies such as stretching or mobility work for a more effective and holistic outcome.

What Happens in Follow-Up Visits

Response Assessment

Review how your body reacted to treatment — noting soreness, changes in mobility, or lingering pain.

Targeted Cupping

Revisit key areas with longer or more precise cupping techniques to address stubborn tension or discomfort.

Integrated Treatment

Blend cupping with mobility drills or corrective exercises to reinforce gains and support long-term improvements.

Benefits

Muscle Relief

Release tension in tight or overworked muscles, easing discomfort and restoring balance.

Enhanced Circulation

Improve blood flow to support tissue repair and accelerate the healing process.

Pain & Stiffness Reduction

Alleviate soreness and stiffness, promoting freer, more comfortable movement.

Detoxifying Effect

Encourage the flushing of metabolic waste from muscle tissue, aiding recovery and overall wellbeing.

Post-Workout Recovery

Speed up recovery after intense training sessions by reducing fatigue and supporting muscular repair.
