CUPPING
Cupping is a non invasive procedure that can relieve muscle pain and tension. It involves using cups which can be made of glass, bamboo, or silicone.
Glass or plastic cups are commonly used and placed on tight or painful muscles to release tension and induce natural pain relief.
The suction that is created with the cups help stimulate blood flow and improve healing.
Does cupping hurt?
Some people report feeling a slight discomfort or pressure during cupping, but it is generally not considered to be a painful procedure. However, the level of discomfort can vary depending on factors such as individual's pain threshold, the amount of suction applied, and the specific areas of the body being treated.
​
The suction can also cause the skin to become red or purple, and in some cases, can cause a circular mark to appear that may last for a few days.

The appearance of cupping marks can vary depending on the individual and the intensity of the suction used during cupping session. Some people may not experience any marks at all, while others may have noticeable circular marks that range in color from light pink to dark purple.
