Get answers to common questions about Cupping Therapy - 75 Mins.

During a 75-minute session you'll receive consultation, targeted cupping on chosen areas, possible light massage, and post-care guidance. Cups create suction briefly; sensations range from warm tightness to mild pressure. Any marks fade within days and are monitored for comfort.

Cupping often leaves circular marks that look like bruises; they're normal and indicate increased circulation. Marks typically fade in 3–10 days. We adjust suction intensity to minimize discoloration and always discuss expectations and your skin sensitivity before treatment.

Most clients report mild tightness or pulling rather than sharp pain. Sensations vary with suction level and treatment area. We communicate throughout the session, adjust cups as needed, and can stop or modify technique to ensure your comfort and safety.

Duration varies by condition and frequency of sessions. Many clients notice immediate relief lasting days to weeks; ongoing treatments and complementary therapies extend benefits. We'll create a personalized plan recommending intervals based on your goals, response, and activity level.

Cupping isn't recommended for people with open wounds, active infections, blood clotting disorders, severe skin conditions, or those on certain blood-thinning medications. Pregnant clients should consult their provider. We review health history during intake to confirm safety and alternatives.

Arrive hydrated, avoid heavy meals and alcohol, and wear loose clothing that exposes treatment areas. Avoid applying oils or lotions beforehand. Communicate recent injuries or sensitivities. We'll review aftercare, recommend hydration and gentle movement to support results.
