Cups are placed on the skin and left for a period of five to fifteen minutes. Stationary cupping is often used on both adults and children to relieve cough and colds, along with certain asthmatic conditions. Many people have memories of a grandmother who still practiced cupping. Many of our clients are the big fans of back cupping. The suction anchors the cups to your back. You can feel your skin tightening and rising into the cups like a soufflé. The cups are applied in quick succession over your entire back, and you begin to relax and feel pain free.
Stationary Cupping is not an irritant to the skin or body but it can cause bruising and leave circular marks called “cup kiss” for days afterwards which will gradually fade. But it takes the pain away!
Some benefits of Stationary Cupping include:
