Cupping Therapy

What Is Cupping Therapy?

Cupping therapy traces its roots to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and various global traditions. It involves placing cups on the skin to create a gentle vacuum, lifting the skin and tissues beneath. This suction boosts circulation, eases tension, and supports the body’s natural healing processes. We use premium glass cups designed for effective, comfortable suction, making it a perfect addition to our holistic treatments.

Many people notice less muscle stiffness, greater ease of movement, and a deep sense of calm after a session. By improving blood flow and releasing tightness, cupping can help with discomfort, aid recovery, and promote relaxation. When paired with acupuncture or massage, it compliments the benefits of these therapies, offering a richer path to wellness.

Our Approach to Cupping Therapy

We typically don’t do standalone cupping sessions. We find that cupping works best as an adjunctive approach to our other acupuncture or massage services.

This is typically discussed during your first session with us, to determine if it is a good fit for you.

What to Expect During Your Session

When cupping is part of your treatment, we’ll begin by assessing your goals—perhaps easing a sore back, supporting lung health, or unwinding stress. Cups will be placed on areas like your shoulders, back, or legs, depending on your plan. The suction creates a gentle pull that most find relaxing. You might see temporary circular marks afterward—a normal sign of the therapy at work, fading within days.

Your comfort is key. We aim to ensure the session feels nurturing, from the area of the cup placement to the amount of suction used. We’re here to answer questions and adjust as needed, so you leave feeling renewed.
