Improve Circulation and Enhance Healing with Cupping Therapy in Vancouver

Feel better, move better, and heal naturally with cupping therapy at Qi Integrated Health.

Cupping therapy can be booked as a stand alone 30 min treatment or be incorporated in any 60 min Acupuncture treatment. 

What is Cupping Therapy? 

Cupping therapy is a time-tested technique that uses gentle suction to relieve muscle tension, improve blood flow, and support deep relaxation. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, stress, or sluggish circulation, cupping therapy helps restore mobility and balance.

How Cupping Therapy Works

Using specialized cups, gentle suction is applied to the skin to increase circulation and release fascial and muscular restrictions. This process encourages healing by reducing inflammation and supporting detoxification. While temporary marks may appear after treatment, they are a natural sign of improved circulation and typically fade within a few days.

Conditions Cupping Therapy Can Help With

Cupping therapy can be effective in treating:

  • Muscle pain and tension

  • Chronic back and neck pain

  • Joint stiffness and mobility issues

  • Stress and anxiety

  • Respiratory conditions like congestion and coughs

  • Digestive discomfort

By promoting circulation and releasing blockages, cupping therapy helps the body heal naturally.

What to Expect During Your Cupping Session

Your session begins with a consultation to understand your needs. Based on your condition, cups may be placed on your back, shoulders, or other areas. Depending on your treatment plan, techniques such as sliding cupping or flash cupping may be used to enhance circulation and release tension. Most people find cupping to be deeply relaxing, with benefits that continue even after the session ends.
