What Is Cupping Therapy?

Cupping therapy is a traditional healing practice that involves placing special cups on the skin to create suction. This gentle suction is believed to stimulate blood flow, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation and healing in the body.

Practiced for thousands of years across many cultures—including Traditional Chinese Medicine, ancient Egyptian and Middle Eastern traditions—cupping remains a powerful, natural tool for wellness.

🌀 How It Works

Cups, typically made from glass, bamboo, or silicone, are either heated or applied using a vacuum method to create suction on the skin. This process gently lifts the skin and underlying tissue into the cup, which may:

• Increase circulation in targeted areas

• Loosen muscle tension and reduce stiffness

• Support lymphatic flow and detoxification

• Calm the nervous system and promote overall relaxation

🌿 Common Uses

Cupping is commonly used to address:

• Chronic muscle pain or tension

• Inflammation

• Respiratory issues (e.g., congestion, asthma)

• Circulatory support and recovery from intense physical activity

⚠️ Safety First

While cupping is generally safe when performed by trained professionals, it’s important to consult with a qualified healthcare provider beforehand—especially if you have any underlying medical conditions. At BodyCentre Day Spa, all cupping sessions are performed by experienced, certified practitioners to ensure a safe and effective experience.
