Client Guide to Cupping: Benefits & What to Expect

Cupping therapy is an ancient healing technique that helps with pain relief, muscle recovery, circulation, and overall well-being. This guide will help you understand the benefits of cupping and what to expect from your session.

 

What Is Cupping?

 

Cupping therapy involves placing special cups on the skin to create suction. This suction lifts the skin and underlying tissues, increasing blood flow, relieving muscle tension, and promoting natural healing.

✔ The session lasts 15-30 minutes, depending on the area treated.

✔ You may feel a pulling or tightness, but it should not be painful.
