Cupping therapy may leave temporary pink, red, or purple marks on the skin. This is a normal response to the suction of the cups bringing blood to the surface, and they will typically fade within a week.

Many people find myofascial cupping extremely relaxing and a valuable addition to massage therapy to help alleviate musculoskeletal tension.

With deep-tissue, stationary techniques, you may feel a temporary stinging or burning sensation as the skin and connective tissues stretch. However, you should always let your practitioner know if something feels painful or uncomfortable during treatment.

Cupping should only be performed by a trained practitioner who is a member of a professional association like the NHPC. Find an NHPC practitioner in your area using our member directory: https://www.nhpcanada.org/member-directory

Whether you're managing chronic pain, recovering from injury, or looking to reduce stress and tension, massage therapy can be a vital part of a comprehensive wellness plan.
