Cupping therapy is a traditional practice used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and has been used for generations as part of a holistic approach to health and wellbeing.
At The ON Acupuncture, we provide personalised care tailored to individual needs and treatment goals. Many patients choose complementary therapies as part of their overall wellness routine.
What Is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping therapy involves placing specialised cups on selected areas of the body to create gentle suction. This traditional technique is widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and may be incorporated into personalised treatment plans.
Different cupping methods are available, and your practitioner will recommend an approach based on your individual circumstances.
Why Do People Choose Cupping Therapy?
People choose cupping therapy for many different reasons. Some individuals include it as part of their wellbeing routine to support:
- Relaxation and stress management
- Muscle tension and stiffness
- Recovery after physical activity
- General wellbeing
- Complementary care alongside acupuncture
Every person’s needs are different, and treatment recommendations are tailored accordingly.
What Happens During a Cupping Session?
During your appointment, your practitioner will discuss your health history and treatment goals before recommending an appropriate approach.
Specialised cups are placed on selected areas of the body to create gentle suction. Treatment is generally relaxing, and sessions are tailored to individual comfort levels.
Are Cupping Marks Normal?
Temporary circular marks may appear after treatment due to the suction created by the cups. These marks are usually not painful and often fade naturally within several days.
