Cupping

Cupping is a traditional Chinese therapy used for centuries for healing and relaxation. It involves placing cups on the skin and creating suction, which draws the skin upwards into the cups. This technique promotes blood flow, relieves muscle tension, and helps with detoxification. 

At Red Peony Chinese Massage, we proudly offer top-notch cupping therapy services that have stood the test of time. So, do not hesitate to schedule your cupping therapy session with us today and experience its amazing benefits. 

The cupping process involves placing cups on the skin and creating suction. At Red Peony Chinese Massage, we use silicone and glass cups for our cupping therapy sessions. Depending on the client's needs, we also offer dry and wet cupping techniques.

In dry cupping, the therapist will place the cups on the skin and leave them in place for a few minutes to create suction. In wet cupping, small incisions are made on the skin before placing the cups to draw out small amounts of blood. This is believed to promote detoxification further.

Cupping therapy has a wide range of benefits, both physical and mental. Let's take a look at some of the top benefits our clients experience from cupping:

• Pain relief: The suction created by cupping helps release muscle tension, making it an effective treatment for pain relief.
• Improved blood circulation: The suction also promotes blood flow, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen to the muscles and tissues.
• Relaxation: Many clients report feeling deeply relaxed during and after a cupping session. This can help with reducing stress and anxiety.
• Detoxification: Cupping helps stimulate the lymphatic system, which removes toxins and waste from the body.
• Specific health conditions: Cupping has been shown to have potential benefits in treating specific health conditions. They include muscle tension, respiratory issues, and even skin problems.

At Red Peony Chinese Massage, we understand that each client has different needs and goals for their cupping therapy. Our massage therapists tailor each treatment to meet the individual's specific needs. 

We take pride in offering personalised treatments that combine cupping with other massage techniques for a holistic approach to wellness. By combining these techniques, we can create a customised treatment plan for you. Rest assured that our therapists are highly trained and experienced in various massage techniques, ensuring a safe and effective treatment.

While cupping is generally considered safe, there are a few precautions to take before booking your session. 

• Avoid cupping if you have a fever, skin infection, or open wounds.
• Inform your therapist of your health conditions or medications before the session.
• If you are pregnant, consult with your doctor before trying a therapy.

It's also important to note that cupping may leave temporary marks on the skin. These marks are not bruises and are harmless, typically fading within a few days. If you have any concerns, discuss them with your therapist before the session.

Your safety and comfort are paramount to us. Our therapists adhere to strict hygiene protocols, ensuring the cleanliness and sterility of equipment and treatment rooms. Additionally, our team holds certifications and qualifications in cupping therapy. This provides you with peace of mind throughout your session.
