What is cupping therapy?
Cupping is an ancient method used in traditional Chinese and Eastern medicine. A vacuum is created inside special cups placed on the skin to stimulate circulation, reduce muscle tension and speed up tissue recovery.
Benefits of cupping therapy
- Relieves pain and tension — particularly effective for muscle spasms and chronic pain.
- Improves circulation — stimulates blood flow to the treated areas.
- Supports detoxification — by drawing out toxins and improving lymphatic drainage.
- Reduces inflammation — speeds up recovery of muscles and joints.
- Improves overall wellbeing — promotes relaxation and reduces stress.
What happens during treatment?
The specialist places cups on the skin and creates a vacuum that draws the skin and underlying tissues upwards. This increases circulation and may leave temporary marks — red or purple patches — that fade within a few days.

Cupping therapy is suitable for people with:
- Muscle and joint pain;
- sports injuries;
