How it works

Cupping is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which the therapist causes a vacuum by placing special cups your skin and drawing oxygen out with a special suction apparatus,  . These are used for many purposes, including pain and inflammation reduction. Cupping also aids blood flow, relaxation and well-being. Treatments usually last between 5 and 15 minutes.

What you will feel and experience

You usually will feel a tight sensation in the area of the cup. Often, this sensation is relaxing and soothing.  The skin may become discolored for up to two weeks, but it is rarely painful. Once the marks have cleared, the procedure can be repeated until the condition or ailment is resolved
