Frequently Asked Questions: Cupping

Cupping therapy is a traditional healing technique that involves placing special cups on the skin to create suction. This suction is believed to stimulate blood flow, promote relaxation, and alleviate pain.


Cupping therapy is used for a variety of purposes, including:

  • Pain relief (muscle pain, headaches, back pain)
  • Improved circulation
  • Reduced inflammation
  • Enhanced relaxation and stress relief
  • Improved detoxification
  • Respiratory issues (like cough and congestion)


Cupping is generally safe when performed by a qualified practitioner. However, it's not suitable for everyone.  

Here are some things to consider:

  • Pregnant women: Cupping is not recommended during pregnancy.
  • Open wounds or skin conditions: Avoid cupping on broken skin or areas with eczema or psoriasis.
  • Bleeding disorders: If you have a bleeding disorder, cupping might not be suitable.
  • Certain medications: Some medications can increase your risk of bleeding during cupping.


The practitioner will place special cups on your skin and create suction using a pump or heat. The cups are typically left in place for 5-10 minutes. You may experience some redness or bruising at the application sites, but these usually fade within a few days.


Cupping typically doesn't cause significant pain. You might feel some tightness or discomfort during the treatment. If you experience any pain, let your practitioner know.


The number of sessions needed depends on your individual condition and goals.  

Typically, a series of treatments are recommended for optimal results.  

Discuss a personalised plan with your practitioner.


The most common side effects of cupping are temporary and include:  

  • Round, red marks on the skin from the suction (these usually fade within a few days)
  • Minor discomfort or tightness during the treatment


Some insurance companies may cover cupping therapy.  It's best to check with your specific provider to see what's covered under your plan.


Cupping can be safely integrated with other treatments like acupuncture, massage therapy, and physical therapy.  Always discuss your treatment plan with all your healthcare providers.
