Gold Coast Chinese Cupping Clinic

Cupping therapy, a traditional Chinese healing practice that involves placing heated cups on the skin to create a suction effect. Cupping therapy can reduce pain and swelling while softening muscles and tight areas of the body.

Cupping therapy is often used for muscle pain, stress relief, and certain respiratory conditions. It’s important to note that it may not be suitable for everyone, particularly people with certain skin conditions, pregnant women, or individuals with bleeding disorders.

Usually cupping therapy is done alongside acupuncture to enhance treatment.
The cost is $118 with David Haynes or $108 with one of our other experienced practitioners; follow-up treatments are $10 less.

Cupping therapy is generally not painful, but it can cause discomfort due to the suction and pulling sensation on the skin. Some people may experience temporary marks or bruises at the cupping sites, which usually fade within a few days.

After cupping the sites of the cups should be covered for at least the rest of the day to avoid the muscles becoming tight.

During a cupping session, the therapist creates a vacuum inside the cups, often by briefly heating the air inside or using a suction device. Once placed on the skin, the cups create negative pressure, which can help to increase blood flow to the treated area and promote the release muscles.

The outcomes can differ based on multiple factors, such as the duration and severity of your condition, as well as your individual responsiveness to cupping therapy. Your practitioner will give a tailored treatment plan during your initial session following diagnosis. This ensures clear expectations regarding the number of anticipated treatments.

The duration of treatments needed for significant or lasting effects tends to work better the more treatments you get. Every person is unique, and the outcomes are tailored to each individual.
