CUPPING THERAPY
The round purple marks cupping leaves on the skin come from suction, not from a knock. I use the cups inside a therapeutic massage session, at your address.

Cupping uses suction cups on the skin to work on circulation and to loosen muscular tension. It is a practice from Chinese medicine, the same field I lean on to think about prevention rather than one-off relief.
Cupping does not replace medical care. I work for relief from muscular pain, less stress and a better quality of life, not to treat illness.
Cupping goes inside a therapeutic massage session. On its own I do not do it.
The round marks that stay behind come from suction, not from a blow. They last 3 a 7 days on average, depending on how sensitive your skin is. I wrote about the colour, the intensity and how long they take to fade in the article on cupping marks.
The trip to your address is included. The full list is on the services and prices page.
COMMON QUESTIONS
The feeling is suction and pressure on the skin, different from the pain of a knock. Some tighter points are uncomfortable for the first few seconds, especially the first time.
Cupping on its own I do not do. It always goes inside another massage. With the therapeutic massage that is 75 minutes for R$ 300, travel included.
3 a 7 days on average, depending on how sensitive your skin is. If you have something coming up where you would rather not have them, tell me before we book.
I do not use cups on anyone with a clotting disorder, on anticoagulants, with thrombosis or thrombophlebitis, over raised varicose veins at that spot, with a fever, with an infection, over an open wound or over very fragile skin. If any of that applies to you, tell me before booking.
