CUPPING THERAPY

​Cupping therapy is a powerful technique used to enhance blood flow to specific areas of the body. By creating a partial vacuum on the skin, this method draws up underlying tissues. When the cups remain in place, blood stasis develops, promoting localised healing.

​

How Does Cupping Work?

​

Cupping therapy penetrates up to 4 inches into body tissue, offering numerous benefits:

​

• Release of toxins

• Flushing the lymphatic system

• Clearing colon blockages

• Improving veins, arteries, and capillaries

• Rejuvenating the skin

• Reducing stretch marks

• Improving cellulite and varicose veins

​

Why Choose Cupping Therapy?

​

Cupping is a safe and effective alternative to deep tissue massage or addtion to any massage. Just 5 minutes of cupping can equate to 30 minutes of deep tissue massage. Here are some additional benefits:

​

• Stimulates whole body relaxation by activating the parasympathetic response.

• Promotes oxygenation and detoxification of blood, offering a sense of lightness and relief from pressure.

• Detoxifies metabolic debris in muscle tissue, fascia, and skin.

• Enhances range of motion by breaking up adhesions and promoting healing in scar tissue and chronic injury sites.

• Reduces joint pain, stiffness, and arthritis through stretching muscle and connective tissues.

• Relieves inflammation and the effects of stress, depression, and anxiety.

• Boosts circulation by pulling blood supply to the skin and increasing lymphatic drainage.

• Facilitates the movement of Qi (energy) and blood both systemically and locally.

• Expels congestion and strengthens the immune system by promoting lymphatic fluid flow.

• Balances pH levels by cleaning the blood and lymph.

​

Conditions Benefiting from Cupping Therapy

​

This therapy is particularly effective for a range of conditions, including:

• Chronic muscle pain and tension

• Back, neck, and shoulder pain

• Sports injuries and repetitive strain injuries

• Postural problems and muscle imbalances

• Sciatica and other nerve-related pain

• Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome

​

Cupping for Athletes

​

Professional athletes use cupping to enhance their performance, agility, and recovery. Regular cupping treatments improve muscle endurance, circulation, lung capacity, and lymphatic drainage.

​

Understanding Cupping Marks

​

Not all cupping techniques create marks. When they do appear, cupping marks indicate the release of inflammation, congestion, toxins, and stagnation in the body’s tissues. These marks, which fade over time, signify the healthy rush of new blood and oxygen flow to previously compressed and tight areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

​

What can I expect during a cupping session?

During a cupping session at Pure Rejuvenation, our therapist will place cups on specific areas of your body to create a suction effect. The cups may remain stationary or be gently moved across the skin, depending on your needs. Sessions typically last between 20 to 30 minutes.

​

Is cupping therapy painful?

Cupping is generally not painful, though you may feel a slight pulling sensation as the cups create suction. Some clients experience mild discomfort initially, but this usually subsides as the treatment progresses.

​

Are there any side effects?

Cupping may cause temporary skin discolouration (marks), which usually fades within a few days to a week. Other potential side effects include mild discomfort, lightheadedness, or slight bruising. These effects are generally short-lived.

​

How often should I get cupping therapy?

The frequency of cupping sessions depends on your specific health needs and goals. Some clients benefit from weekly sessions, while others may only need treatments every few weeks or months. Our therapists will work with you to create a personalised treatment plan.
