Cupping Therapy

Controlled suction applied to selected areas to support comfort, circulation, and muscular relaxation.

The purpose

Traditional suction therapy with modern safeguards

Cupping has long histories in Egyptian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern care traditions. Cups create negative pressure on the skin for a limited period. Treatment is explained before it begins, and the amount of suction is adjusted to your comfort.

01

What this may support

  • Back, neck, and shoulder tension
  • Post-activity muscular soreness
  • Relaxation and body awareness
  • Support within a broader pain plan
  • Areas of persistent soft-tissue tightness
02

What to expect

  1. Screen for skin, circulation, bleeding, and medication concerns.
  2. Choose appropriate sites and explain likely temporary marks.
  3. Apply and monitor cups for a controlled period.
  4. Review skin response, hydration, and after-care.

How Balsam approaches care

Clear, collaborative, and grounded.

01

Suction and duration are intentionally conservative.

02

Skin is checked before and after every application.

03

Your comfort guides the session.

Safety first

When extra care is needed

Circular marks can remain for several days and are not the same as bruises from trauma. Cupping is avoided over broken skin, infection, varicose veins, acute injury, or when bleeding risk is elevated.
