Cupping Therapy
Cupping appointments begin with a brief chat to address areas of concern. Patients typically lie face down on the treatment table and then ceramic or glass cups are placed on the skin with the gentle suction created from heat, lifting the skin slightly. Patients will feel a light pulling or tightening sensation from the cups. Afterward, you may notice circular marks on your skin, which are completely normal and fade within a few days.
Cupping boosts circulation, releases muscle tension, and supports overall healing. Patients should wear loose clothing to these 30 minute appointments.
