Skip to content The cupping massage is an ancient practice that is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), used for thousands of years to treat pain, muscle stiffness, and respiratory problems. The cups are applied to the body through suction on specific areas such as the back, face, or feet, where precise points are energetically linked to certain internal organs; this way, the organ and system are stimulated to restore energy.
With cupping therapy, excess “humors” are eliminated and dispersed, thus restoring balance by removing stagnations. It is often used in cases of energy stagnation, which can also result in physical blockages.
This technique is excellent for improving the blood and lymphatic systems, very useful also for relieving muscle pain, recirculating fluids to aid in the elimination of toxins, and relieving pain caused by cold thanks to the VACUUM effect.
It acts on lymphatic blockages that manifest as inflammation, such as cellulite, which at all levels is a stagnation of water inside the tissues. When used with proper knowledge, cupping therapy is phenomenal and highly successful in treatments to improve water retention and all stages of cellulite.
In conclusion, today cupping therapy is often combined with massage therapy and is effective for modifying energy flows, restoring the body’s functional balance. The effects are divided into 2 categories:
In addition, the draining and improving action on lymphatic stasis and interstitial fluid helps reduce fat deposits. The VACUUM therapy method can be divided into two categories:
With this technique, there is a 400% increase in blood circulation and a 130% increase in collagen production, resulting in a toning and firming effect.
It is also used on the face, with effects including improved blood circulation, oxygen supply, and tissue rejuvenation. The result is firmer skin thanks to the stimulation of fibroblasts, which produce more elastin and collagen. Detoxifying, draining, and purifying effects are also notable.
Fire cupping begins with the application of heated cups on strategic points of the body, such as the back or abdomen. The heat combined with suction penetrates deeply into the tissues, promoting a deep relaxing effect and drainage. This treatment is performed in a calming environment to encourage maximum relaxation.
The cups are left in place for a few minutes, allowing stimulation of blood and lymphatic circulation, toxin elimination, and restoration of the body’s energy balance. Once the cups are removed, a gentle massage can be performed to complete the relaxation process.
I usually recommend starting with a 5-session package, which is the average needed to notice visible changes.
That said, the number of sessions really depends on your body, your goals, and what your system needs to release.
Each protocol is fully personalized, because no two bodies are the same.
Most treatments are gentle, painless, and relaxing.
Some techniques like maderotherapy or cupping may create a slight sensation of pressure, but your comfort is always my priority.
Some mild and temporary effects may occur, such as:
– slight redness,
– a warm sensation,
– or minor bruising (rarely, especially with cupping).
These usually fade within a few hours to a few days.
