What is cupping therapy?
Cupping therapy uses the force of suction(air) to pull blood towards the surface of the skin to
increase your body's healing response

● Cups can be placed in 1 area and left for up to 20 mins. Areas of the body can include,
back, arms, legs, feet, stomach and/or chest. We can discuss the areas before your
treatment and I will ask for clothes to be removed. Nothing will be exposed outside of the
area the cups will be placed on.
● Oil will be applied to the skin and cups will be placed on and left, I will leave the room
and allow you to relax and come back and check up.
● Once cups are removed I will flush out the area with light massage and possibly use light
dragging with 1 cup suctioned (if comfortable)
After Cupping Therapy Treatment
● There will be “marks” on your skin that can last up to 2-3 weeks, colours can change
from light pink/red to dark purple/red in colours. Colours in the “marks” will also change
as they heal. (Similar to healing of a “bruise”)
● “Marks” can get darker in 24 hours after treatment
● There will be some tightness (slightly sore feeling) 24-48 hours after treatment. “Circle
Marks” where cups were placed can also be tender to touch, there will also be slight pink
trace marks, if dragging was applied with a suction cup.
● Cupping can be taxing on the body's Systems, please allow time to rest after, you can
feeling very fatigued, please drink lots of water to help with healing
