Cupping involves using special cups to create suction on the skin. This suction draws blood to the surface, which helps relieve tension, promote healing, and enhance the body’s natural detoxification processes.

Cupping offers numerous benefits, such as:

• Pain relief, especially for muscle and joint pain
• Reduced inflammation
• Improved blood flow and circulation
• Relaxation and relief from stress
• Enhanced recovery and healing processes

Cupping is suitable for individuals suffering from muscle tension, pain, or inflammation. Athletes and people with chronic pain conditions often find cupping beneficial. However, people with certain medical conditions, such as blood clotting disorders or skin problems, should seek advice from a healthcare provider before receiving cupping therapy.

Cupping is generally considered safe when performed by a trained therapist. The treatment may leave temporary marks on the skin, which are not harmful and will fade within a few days. However, people with sensitive skin or certain health conditions should consult a professional before trying cupping.

During a cupping session, the therapist places cups on the skin, which create suction through heat or a pump. The cups are left in place for 5 to 20 minutes. After treatment, you may experience some mild bruising or a warming sensation in the area, followed by relief from tension and pain.
