Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy is an ancient practice that involves placing special cups on the skin to create suction. The massage therapist will apply massage oil or lotion to the skin to create a smooth surface. Then, they will place the cups upside down on specific areas of the body, typically the back, shoulders, or other areas of muscle tension. As the cups create suction, they draw the skin and underlying tissues into the cup. This creates a pulling sensation that may feel tight or slightly uncomfortable. The cups can be left in place for a few minutes or moved around the skin to cover larger areas. The suction created by the cups can help improve blood flow and lymphatic circulation, relax muscles, and release tension, which may provide relief from muscle pain and discomfort. After a cupping session, you may notice circular marks on the skin, ranging from light pink to darker purple. These marks are not bruises but rather a result of the suction and increased blood flow to the area. They typically fade within a few days.
