Cupping Therapy
Controlled suction is applied with cups to selected areas as an adjunct for muscular tension and movement restriction.
Ask whether it suits you
What it is
A technique selected for the individual.
This page describes dry cupping. Cups create temporary suction over the skin and superficial tissues. Circular marks can occur and usually fade gradually. Cupping is selected according to the area involved, skin condition and the patient’s medical history.
Safety first
Cupping is avoided over broken or infected skin, active inflammation, fragile skin and some vascular conditions. Anticoagulant use, bleeding disorders and easy bruising require specific assessment. Marks are not proof that toxins were removed.
