A non-invasive treatment to help improve circulation, reduce muscle tension and promote overall relaxation
Cupping therapy involves placing cups on the skin to create a vacuum effect. This suction draws blood to the surface, encouraging better circulation and relieving tension in muscles and fascia. It’s especially effective for releasing stubborn muscle knots, easing pain, and improving mobility.
This process helps improving your body’s mobility by unbinding tissues that have become stuck due to poor posture, repetitive strain or intense training.
When you arrive for your treatment, we will start by discussing your concerns and assessing your eligibility. When the warm glass cups is applied, you will feel a gentle pulling sensation as the suction begins to reach deep into the tissue layers and lift the muscles.
The cups will stay on your skin for around 5–15 minutes, depending on your needs. Most clients find the experience deeply relaxing, though it might leave some dark red circles in the suction areas. This is a sign of increased blood flow and typically fades within 3 to 7 days.
This is a normal indication that the therapy is working to release toxins and tension from your muscles.
Stretches and releases the muscles' fascia layer, creating a deep release that manual pressure cannot always achieve.
Draws blood flow to stagnant or tight areas, promoting faster healing of soft tissue and reducing localized inflammation.
Instantly improves range of motion by removing restrictions in the connective tissue. (Loved by athletes and active individuals)
The unique pulling sensation has a sedative effect that leads to a strong sense of physical and mental relaxation.
Ideal for those with “Tech Neck” or rounded shoulders, as it helps decompress the tight tissues of the upper back and neck caused by long hours at a computer.
Perfect for those needing to recover from heavy lifting or high-intensity training by flushing the muscles and maintaining tissue health.
Anyone who feels like their muscles are constantly “tight” or “stiff” and needs a more technical approach to release stubborn areas.
No, cupping is generally not painful. You may feel a mild pulling sensation or slight soreness, but it should not be uncomfortable. If you experience any pain, let your therapist know.
For most people, a cupping session every 1–2 weeks is beneficial. Your therapist will suggest a treatment plan based on your individual needs and goals.
Drink plenty of water and allow your body to rest. You may experience some mild bruising, which is normal and will fade within a few days.
