We find the areas that will not release.
Suction that lifts tight tissue instead of pressing into it. For the spots that will not let go, no matter how much you stretch.
What It Is
A cup sits on the skin and a gentle vacuum is drawn under it. The tissue lifts up into the cup instead of being pushed down into the body. That is the whole difference, and it is why cupping reaches areas that hate direct pressure.
Yes, it can leave round marks. They are not bruises from an impact and they are not damage. They usually fade over several days. If you have something coming up where you would rather not have them, tell us and we work elsewhere.
You have been stretching that spot for months and it still grips by Wednesday. Tissue that stays stuck starts limiting the joint above it, then the one below. Cupping is always optional, and a licensed physical therapist suggests it only when your evaluation points that way.
The marks fade, and they are not bruises

Questions, Answered
Most people describe a strong pulling or tugging feeling rather than pain. The suction is adjustable, so we set it to what you tolerate that day. If it is too much, say the word and we ease it off.
It can, and they are round. Those marks are not bruises from an impact and they are not an injury. They typically fade over several days, though every body is different. If you have an event where you would rather not have them, tell us and we plan around it.
That depends on your plan, since cupping is not billed the same way as a standard visit. We check your exact benefits before your first session, so nothing on your bill is a surprise. Questions before then? Call us at (818) 341-3791.
