CUPPING THERAPY

Cupping is generally not painful. The suction created by the cups may cause a tight or pulling sensation, but it is usually well-tolerated. The circular marks left indicate increased blood flow. The area on the skin after cupping may look bruised, but are typically not painful and go away after a few days. 

When performed by a trained and qualified practitioner, cupping is generally considered safe. 

Cupping is often used to address conditions such as muscle pain, tension, and inflammation. Some people also use it for relaxation and stress relief.

The duration of a cupping session can vary. Cups may be left in place for a few minutes or moved around the skin during a session. The overall session length depends on the practitioner's approach and the individual's needs.
