Move Better With Cupping in Mason City, IA
Cupping is one of the oldest therapies still used for mind and body wellness. This ancient practice has been used for centuries to increase blood circulation, relieve muscle pain, and induce cell growth.
At Bare Sugar in Mason City, we use therapeutic cupping in Mason City, IA as a noninvasive way to alleviate a number of symptoms, as well as to promote overall well-being! During cupping therapy, a therapist will place special cups on your skin to create suction, causing the tissue beneath the cup to swell, which then increases blood flow to the area and triggers the release of toxins.
What to Expect
The Cupping Process
Consultation
We begin each of our treatments at Bare Sugar with an in-depth consultation. This process is particularly important when it comes to cupping, as it allows us to truly get to know your unique concerns and treatment goals.
Cupping Therapy Session
During the cupping session, your provider applies silicone pumps to the desired treatment area and uses a rubber pump to create gentle to intense suction. We typically utilize 3 to 5 cups per session, and cups can stay in place for up to 3 minutes. You may feel slight pressure during the cupping process.
Next Steps
Although we recommend taking a day to rest and recuperate, you are free to return to normal activities immediately following the treatment. Because of the suction and the expansion of blood vessels, cupping does cause bruising, but there shouldn’t be any pain associated. This will diminish within 10 days.
