Cupping Therapy FAQs
What is cupping therapy?
Cupping therapy is an ancient healing practice that uses suction cups placed on the skin to increase blood flow, relieve muscle tension, and promote natural healing.
How does cupping work?
The suction from the cups gently lifts the skin and muscles, improving circulation and loosening tight muscles. Unlike massage (which applies pressure), cupping pulls muscles apart to relieve tension.

No, cupping is generally painless. You may feel a gentle pulling sensation during the treatment, but most people find it deeply relaxing.
Why do cupping marks appear? Are they bruises?
The circular marks left after cupping are not bruises. They are a result of increased circulation and typically fade within a few days.
How often should I get cupping therapy?
This depends on your condition, but many patients benefit from weekly or bi-weekly sessions, especially for chronic pain or stress relief.
