Are you looking for tried-and true methods that actually offer the pain release they promise? Cupping therapy might be exactly what you’ve been searching for! With a technique dating back generations, you’ll be rushing to make an appointment asap.
What is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping therapy is a form of natural and alternative medicine that has captured hearts due to its unique approach to wellness and pain relief. It addresses various health concerns without the pharmacy, which has truly tested the lengths of time. It’s especially more influential now in a world quick to prescribe medication.
Tracing back to ancient civilizations, including Chinese, Egyptian, and Middle Eastern cultures, this practice has woven its way through centuries to become a sought-after solution in our modern era. Cupping involves placing special cups on the skin to create suction. The purpose? To stimulate blood flow, ease muscle tension, and promote cell repair and more.
The undying intrigue of cupping therapy has been the enduring belief in natural healing processes and the body’s ability to rejuvenate itself. While the cups themselves have evolved from bamboo and ceramic to more modern materials, the essence of cupping therapy remains unchanged. It stands as a bridge between the wisdom of the past and the wellness needs of today.
Are there Different Types of Cupping?
Cupping therapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. It needs to be fluid and diverse in order to address your concerns and your unique health goals. This means there isn’t just one type of ‘cup’ in cupping therapy. This variety ensures that practitioners can offer you a personalized and tailored treatment that will actually work.
The cups that can be used in Cupping therapy with us at Core Wellness are:
Dry Cupping: The most traditional form, using suction without any incisions, ideal for stimulating blood flow and relieving muscle tension.
Silicone Cupping: Flexible cups allow for movement, making it a go-to for athletes looking to enhance performance and recovery.
Each type of cupping serves a unique purpose, addressing different needs and preferences. Dry and silicone cupping are particularly popular for those new to the practice, offering a gentle introduction. Have questions? We are happy to help. Click here to contact us now.

What to Expect At a Cupping Therapy Appointment
Anytime you try something new you can experience uneasy feelings of the unknown. We are here to make it easy for you and help shift those feelings into excitement! Here’s what you can anticipate during your visit to ensure a comfortable and enlightening experience.
Upon arrival, you’ll engage in a friendly consultation with your therapist, who will inquire about your health history and wellness goals. This conversation is nonjudgmental and light, ensuring that the cupping session is tailored specifically to your needs and addresses any particular ailments or areas of concern. There is no right and wrong here, so just follow your heart and trust you are in good hands!
The therapy itself involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. These cups may be made of different materials and are strategically placed based on your treatment goals.

Throughout the session, which typically lasts around 30 minutes, the cups may be moved around to target different areas, promoting circulation and lymphatic flow. While the immediate marks left by the cups can be a surprising color, they are generally painless and fade within a few days, serving as a unique badge of your body’s healing process.
As you conclude your appointment, your therapist may offer advice on post-session care and how to maximize the benefits of your treatment, leaving you informed and empowered to continue on your path to wellness!
