Cupping therapy is an ancient alternative medicine practice that involves placing cups on the
skin to create suction, which helps enhance blood circulation, alleviate muscle tension, and
promote overall well-being.
Cupping therapy complements acupuncture treatments, amplifying their effectiveness. While
typically used in conjunction with acupuncture, cupping sessions can be booked
independently, allowing individuals to experience its benefits on their own.
After your cupping session, you may notice temporary marks on your skin where the cups
were placed. These marks are not painful and usually fade within a few days. It's essential to
stay hydrated and avoid intense physical activity immediately after the treatment to maximize
the benefits.
Cupping therapy serves multiple purposes:
• Relieving muscle tension
• Alleviating myofascial pain
• Enhancing tissue circulation
• Facilitating lymphatic drainage
• Calming the nervous system
Gua sha, also known as scraping therapy, is a traditional Chinese medicine practice where the
skin is scraped using a smooth-edged tool to enhance blood circulation and alleviate muscle
tension. This technique is commonly employed to address various conditions such as muscle
pain, stiffness, fever, cough, and respiratory issues. Although the appearance of skin bruising
(petechiae) is a typical side effect, it usually fades within a few days and is not a cause for
concern.
Gua Sha Therapy not only serves as a potent complement to acupuncture, enhancing the
effectiveness of the treatment, but it also stands alone as a comprehensive healing method.
Beyond being a mere supplement, Gua Sha therapy can be booked independently, allowing
individuals to experience its unique advantages distinctly.

En quoi ça consiste
Most of the appointment is spent mapping out what’s going on in your body and choosing points, then resting with fine needles in place for a stretch — sometimes with heat, cups or electrical stimulation — and you leave with a sense of what was treated and whether more sessions make sense.
