Cupping

Cupping is an ancient Chinese therapy that uses gentle suction to lift the skin, improve circulation, relieve muscle tension, and support the body’s natural healing and overall wellbeing.

What is Cupping?

Cupping therapy involves placing special cups on the skin to create a gentle suction. This suction draws blood to the surface, encouraging circulation and helping to release tight muscles, stagnant energy, and toxins from the body. It's often used to relieve back and shoulder tension, but it can also be effective for other areas of the body.

The therapy is deeply relaxing and can leave round marks on the skin for a few days—this is completely normal and part of the body’s natural response. Cupping is a safe, non-invasive way to support healing and is often used alongside acupuncture or other treatments for enhanced results.
