Cupping

Cupping therapy is a hands-on treatment that uses gentle suction to help release muscle tension, improve local circulation, and support the body’s natural recovery process. It can be especially helpful when muscles feel tight, heavy, stiff, or “stuck” from stress, exercise, posture, or long hours at work.

​

At Seraphys Physio & Wellness, cupping is tailored to your comfort level and treatment goals. Cups are placed on specific areas of the body to create suction, which helps lift and separate the soft tissue. This can encourage blood flow to the area, reduce tightness, and create a deep sense of release without needing constant firm pressure.

​

Cupping may be used on its own or combined with other treatments such as remedial massage, soft tissue therapy, stretching, or movement-based rehabilitation. Depending on your needs, your practitioner may use stationary cupping, where cups are left in place for a short period, or moving cupping, where cups glide across the skin to release larger areas of tension.

​

It is normal for cupping to leave temporary circular marks on the skin. These are not bruises in the usual sense and usually fade within a few days to one week. Your practitioner will explain what to expect and make sure the treatment is safe and suitable for you.
