Cupping in Hoppers Crossing
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine. The process enhances circulation and supports the body’s natural healing processes. This modality may help relieve pain, reduce inflammation, increase blood flow, and promote relaxation and wellness.
How It Works
Special round cups are placed on the skin for a few minutes to create suction, which helps relax muscles and connective tissues, and promotes blood flow to the area. Cupping could complement an existing care plan to relieve symptoms or be incorporated into an overall wellness regime to support and maintain health.
Frequently Asked Questions

There is often some discolouration in the immediate area where the cup was applied. The process can cause broken blood vessels under the skin, much like a bruise, but you should heal in 7-10 days. The other alternative option is sliding cupping – which promotes relaxation and helps ease muscle tension – this does not leave a mark
