At-home Cupping Massage Near You

Anyone that is feeling muscle tension or overall energy drain can get cupping

done, but there are specific health benefits for those with chronic pain. Clients

with: 

• Arthritis (including rheumatoid arthritis)
• Chronic body pain (back, neck, knee and shoulder)
• Chronic headaches/migraines 
• Breathing problems such as asthma 
• Gastro-intestinal problems such as IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) 
• High-blood pressure (hypertension)

While cupping therapy’s main function is to increase blood flow and circulation within the body, there are many other benefits, including reducing swelling and muscle knots.

Cupping has not proven to have long-term effects when dealing with chronic pain management. However, cupping therapy is recommended to do 1-2 times a week, making it a sustainable therapy method for pain relief.

Who should not have cupping therapy?

-Bleeding disorders like haemophilia
-Blood clotting problems, such as deep vein thrombosis or history of strokes
-Skin conditions, including eczema and psoriasis
-Seizures (epilepsy)
– Pregnancy

If you have any concerns about your overall well being, including feeling unwell prior to your appointment please advise your therapist immediately or prior to your treatment. You can also contact our customer support team at hello@getblys.com.au for assistance.

There are certain areas of the body where cupping therapy is not advised, such as the cervical area, as it may cause blood clotting. Another risk for blood clotting during cupping therapy is if you have a pre-existing blood disorder or condition such as thrombosis or a history of strokes. During your consultation prior to your appointment with your cupping therapist you can bring up any concerns regarding the risk of blood clotting.

Through the action of suctioning, tiny blood vessels (capillaries) are expanded and broken open. Cupping massage does not cause damage to the blood vessels, but allows for blood toxins to be released and expelled from the body.

Cupping therapy has been used for thousands of year to relieve back and neck pain. Modern cupping therapy offers up many physical benefits that come from cupping and the increase of blood flow. Cupping is now used to re-energise the body, reduce stretch marks, scars or varicose veins, aid in digestive problems and provide pain relief, especially for those that suffer from chronic pain.

Facial cupping is known to increase oxygen-rich blood circulation, which strengthens skin and connective tissues. While you may not see immediate results after your cupping session, the long-term skin benefits of cupping are out of this world!

Yes, during wet cupping therapy, the skin is pricked with a small needle to expel blood toxins. During your cupping treatment, you will bleed a small amount as the suction cups are placed over the pinpricks to increase blood flow. Due to the size of the pinprick, you will not bleed after the suction cups have been removed from the skin, and a small scab will form almost instantly.

Depending on the cupping therapy method chosen, as well as your own areas of pain or concern, the cups can be placed on the back, stomach, arms, legs or the face.

A consultation with your cupping therapist prior to your appointment will help you discern the areas on your body where cups will be placed.

The cup is generally left on the body for up to three minutes. In saying that, there are many different kinds of cupping therapy methods, so it is best to speak with your cupping therapist during your consultation or prior to your appointment if you have any questions.
