About Cupping Therapy Services
Cupping is an ancient TCM technique that uses small, heated glass cups to create gentle suction on the skin. This suction lifts underlying tissues, promotes blood flow, and releases tension in muscles and fascia. At Acupoint Holistic Health, Crista applies cupping as a standalone therapy or combines it seamlessly with acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, and Tui Na massage for a deeply restorative experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does cupping therapy hurt?
Most clients feel mild pressure and warmth under the cups. Any discomfort subsides quickly, followed by deep relaxation. Temporary circular marks (bruises) are normal and fade within 3–7 days.
How many sessions will I need?
Many people notice relief after one visit. For chronic or complex issues, Crista typically recommends 4–6 sessions spaced weekly or biweekly to achieve lasting results.
What should I expect during a treatment?
Preparation: You’ll lie comfortably; Crista may apply a thin layer of oil.
Application: Cups are heated briefly, then placed on key areas for 5–15 minutes.
Aftercare: Cups are removed; Crista will offer stretching or massage to integrate the work.
How do I prepare and care for my skin?
Before: Keep the area clean and avoid heavy lotions.
After: Stay hydrated, avoid hot showers for 12 hours, and apply a soothing balm if needed.
Is cupping safe?
Absolutely. We use medical-grade, single-use silicone cups or fully sterilized glass cups. Crista follows strict hygiene protocols and tailors suction to your comfort and health needs.
Can cupping be combined with other modalities?
Yes! Cupping pairs beautifully with acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, Tui Na, and even microneedling to address both deep tissue tension and underlying energetic imbalances.
