Jump to a question:
Cupping therapy is a traditional healing method where special cups are placed on the skin to create suction. This suction increases blood flow, relieves muscle tension, and promotes healing. We offer both dry and wet cupping at our practice.
Dry cupping involves creating suction with the cups to stimulate blood flow and relieve tension.
Wet cupping also uses suction, but after the suction, small cuts are made on the skin to remove toxins and stagnant blood. Both methods promote healing, but wet cupping has an added detoxification element.
Cupping therapy is generally not painful, but you may feel a slight pulling or pressure sensation during the treatment. In wet cupping, the small incisions may cause mild discomfort, but it is usually brief. Some people experience mild bruising afterward, which is normal and fades in a few days.
Is cupping therapy safe?
Yes, cupping therapy is a safe and non-invasive treatment when performed by a trained professional. We follow strict hygiene practices, especially for wet cupping, to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for all clients.

What should I expect after a cupping session?
After a session, you may notice circular marks or mild bruising on your skin. This is a normal part of the process and usually fades within a few days. You may also feel relaxed or energized, depending on your treatment.
Can I combine cupping with massage therapy?
Yes! Many clients find that combining cupping with massage enhances the benefits of both therapies. The massage helps relax muscles, while cupping improves blood flow and detoxification, providing comprehensive relief and healing.
