Schedule a Cupping AppointmentWhat Is Cupping?
Cupping is a Traditional Chinese Medicine practice that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. This practice helps those with various health issues by promoting blood flow, relieving muscle tension, and enhancing overall well-being. The suction can last from a few minutes to about 30 minutes, depending on your outlined treatment goals.
The different types of cupping methods include:
- Dry cupping: Only suction is applied to the skin.
- Wet cupping: This involves making small incisions on the skin before applying the cups to draw out a small amount of blood.
- Fire cupping: This method uses heat to create suction by briefly warming the air inside the cup before placing it on the skin.

Does Cupping Therapy Hurt?
Many people may have misconceptions about cupping therapy, believing that it can be painful or uncomfortable. However, contrary to popular belief, cupping does not hurt.
Most of our clients report feeling a soothing sensation as the cups create suction on the skin. While you may experience a gentle pulling or tightness during the session, this is usually mild and even relaxing for most individuals. The sensation is often compared to a deep tissue massage, offering relief and promoting circulation without discomfort.
What Should You Expect After Suction Cup Therapy?
After your cupping session, you may experience some temporary effects, such as mild redness or bruising where the cups were placed, but these typically subside within a few days. Many individuals also find that they feel a heightened sense of relaxation. This sense of euphoria might present itself as sluggishness, so we recommend that you monitor your energy levels and alertness before undertaking anything that demands a high level of focus in the immediate aftermath.
