During cupping therapy, a practitioner will place special cups onto your skin to create suction; this pulls the tissue beneath the cups upwards and increases the flow of blood to the area. Cupping is thought to help draw out impurities, facilitate healing, and improve the body’s energy flow. You can choose to have dry cupping (which we’ve described above) or wet cupping, which involves puncturing your skin with sterile needles so that blood is physically drawn out through the suction process.

Many therapists offer cupping as part of a combined massage treatment. Browse and book providers offering combination cupping and massage near you on Fresha.

Cupping is generally not painful: most people describe a pulling or tight sensation followed by warmth and relaxation. The circular marks left on the skin can look dramatic but are not bruises and typically fade within 3–7 days.
