What is cupping therapy? 

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. 

What is the difference between dry cupping and wet cupping? 

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.

Does cupping therapy hurt? 

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 are the benefits of cupping therapy?

Cupping therapy offers numerous benefits, including:

✅Pain relief

✅Improved blood circulation

✅Reduced muscle tension

✅Detoxification (especially with wet cupping)

✅Stress relief and relaxation

✅Faster recovery from injury

How long does a cupping session take? 

A typical cupping session lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated and the type of cupping (dry or wet). A full body wet cupping therapy could take 2 or 3 hours including the preparation.

Who should avoid cupping therapy?

Cupping is generally safe for most people, but it may not be suitable for those with certain conditions, such as:

🚫Bleeding disorders (e.g., hemophilia)

🚫Skin infections or wounds

🚫Severe anemia

🚫Pregnant women (without consulting a doctor) If you have any health concerns, it's best to consult with your healthcare provider before booking a cupping session.

How often should I get cupping therapy?

The frequency of cupping therapy depends on your individual health goals. Some people benefit from weekly sessions, while others find monthly treatments sufficient. We can help determine the best treatment plan based on your needs. 

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. 

Do you offer homecare cupping services?

Yes, we offer homecare cupping therapy, where we come to your location (home, homestay, or bungalow) for your treatment. This service provides the convenience of receiving therapy in your own space.
