Cupping therapy
A traditional technique used to improve blood circulation, relieve muscle tension, and promote healing. This therapy involves placing cups on the skin to create suction, which facilitates the flow of blood and lymph in the treated area.
What to Expect During the Session:
Initial Consultation:
Evaluation: Before starting the session, we will conduct a thorough assessment to understand your specific needs and determine if cupping therapy is suitable for you.
Medical History: We will review your medical history to identify any conditions that may affect the treatment or require special attention.
Preparation:
Environment: The session will take place in a tranquil and comfortable setting designed for your relaxation and well-being.
Skin Preparation: Depending on the type of cupping, an oil or lotion may be applied to the treatment area to facilitate the application of the cups.
Application of the Cups:
Suction Method: Cups are placed on the skin, and suction is created using heat (for dry cupping) or a manual pump (for mechanical suction cupping). The suction may create a sensation of stretching or pressure but should not be painful.
Duration: The cups remain in place for approximately 5 to 15 minutes, depending on your tolerance and the specific needs of the treatment.
Post-Session:
Removal of Cups: After the suction time, the cups are gently removed. You may notice redness or bruising in the treated areas; these are normal and temporary effects.
Aftercare: We recommend avoiding exposure to extreme temperatures and intense physical activities for the first 24 hours after the session to maximize benefits and allow your body to recover properly.
Expected Benefits:
Muscle Relief: The therapy can help reduce muscle tension and pain.
Circulatory Improvement: The suction enhances blood and lymphatic flow, promoting better recovery.
Overall Relaxation: You may experience a sense of relaxation and general well-being following the session.
Precautions and Considerations:
Medical Conditions: Always inform your therapist about any pre-existing medical conditions.
Side Effects: Bruising and redness are common.
