Cups of Love - Cupping Therapy

04/01/2026

Is cupping therapy painful?

It’s one of the most common questions we get.
In this reel, Shafeeqah gently walks you through a real cupping therapy session, showing exactly how the process is kept comfortable, pain-free, and fully guided. Throughout the session, she checks in with the client, adjusts pressure, and explains the sensations you may feel — from a light pulling to a deep sense of release.
At Cups of Love, cupping (Hijama) is never rushed or forced. It’s about listening to the body, creating safety, and supporting natural healing through intentional, holistic care.

Shafeeqah continues to explain what’s happening in the body while performing massage cupping, dry cupping, and wet cupping (hijama) on the quadriceps. This muscle group often holds deep tension and restricted circulation, and cupping helps support natural blood flow, release tight tissue, and encourage the body’s own healing response.

At Cups of Love, cupping therapy in Cape Town is always approached with care, intention, and education — because understanding the process is part of healing.

In moments like this, Shafeeqah shines most — calm, grounded, fully present in nature. Healing isn’t only what she does, it’s who she is. Even a simple cupping tool becomes part of her quiet ritual of care.

A reminder to slow down, breathe, and return to yourself.

Professional blackhead removal therapy paired with trusted cupping therapy in Cape Town. Supporting skin health through holistic healing in Cape Town and guidance aligned with doctors of functional medicine near me. Gentle, safe and results-driven care for clearer skin and balanced wellness.

Blackheads and whiteheads are simply excess oil blocking the pores — completely harmless, but often uncomfortable or unsightly, especially for teens and elderly clients. At Cups of Love, we always choose the least invasive approach to avoid any trauma to the skin.

Because many clients who visit us for cupping therapy in Cape Town also ask about skin concerns, we make sure our treatments support overall wellness and balance.

⚠️ Important:
If you experience severe acne, painful inflammation, or red, swollen flare-ups, we strongly recommend consulting a certified dermatologist. These conditions often come from deeper internal imbalances — something our clients commonly address through holistic healing in Cape Town and complementary cupping sessions.
