Smart Prep for Your Cupping Appointment

Before your appointment, it’s important to drink plenty of water, as staying hydrated enhances the benefits of cupping. Wear comfortable, breathable clothing to ensure ease during the session.

A Step-By-Step Guide to Your Cupping Session

When you arrive, we'll first discuss your treatment goals and address any of your concerns. This time helps you feel at ease. Then, your therapist will apply oil to targeted areas and introduce the cups. Some clients feel a gentle sensation or warmth, which is completely normal and part of the suction technique! Your session usually lasts around 30 minutes, and you can absolutely communicate with your therapist throughout, if you feel uncomfortable at any point, just let us know. One of our regulars shared, "I was initially nervous, but finding out how gentle the process was made a huge difference!" After cupping, your therapist may gently remove the cups and finish with a massage to help maximize your relaxation.

Aftercare: What to Expect and How to Care for Your Body

After your cupping session, you might feel a little sore in the targeted areas, which is completely normal. It’s essential to keep drinking water to help flush out toxins released from the muscles. We generally recommend waiting at least a week before your next cupping session to give your body time to recover and adjust. Many clients have mentioned feeling lighter and more relaxed after their appointments, with benefits lasting days beyond the session.
