Smart Match results for Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy is typically treated through the application of cups to the skin, which create suction to lift and stimulate the tissue. The most common types use glass, bamboo or silicone cups. Practitioners may apply them dry, with oil for sliding movement, or use fire to create the suction effect on the skin.

The right approach depends on what you're treating and how your skin responds. Minor muscle tightness might need just a few sessions with lighter suction, whilst persistent issues could require deeper work with stronger cups applied over several weeks. Your skin sensitivity and comfort level also shape which method works best for you.

A typical course usually involves weekly or fortnightly sessions over four to eight weeks, though this varies widely. During your first consultation, a practitioner will discuss your concerns, examine your skin and muscles, and explain which approach suits your needs and goals best.
