What conditions can cupping treat?
Cupping has been used to treat a wide variety of conditions. It may be particularly effective at easing conditions that create muscle aches and pains.
Since the cups can also be applied to major acupressure points, the practice is possibly effective at treating digestive issues, skin issues, and other conditions commonly treated with acupressure.
Cupping therapy may help with the following conditions, among others:
Things to keep in mind
Cupping therapy isn’t recommended for everyone.
Don’t use cupping if you use blood-thinning medication. Also avoid cupping if you have:

Most medical professionals don’t have training or a background in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Still, it’s a good idea to let your doctor know if you choose to add cupping to your treatment plan.
Continue with regular doctor visits related to your condition to get the best of both worlds. Cupping shouldn’t replace medical care, but can complement it.
Preparing for your cupping appointment
Cupping is a long-practiced treatment that may help ease the symptoms of both temporary and chronic health conditions.
If you choose to try cupping, use it as a complement to your current doctor visits, not a substitute.
Here are some things to consider before beginning cupping therapy:
Before beginning any alternative therapy, let your doctor know that you’re planning to incorporate it into your treatment plan.
Takeaway
Cupping is an ancient technique involving suctioning the skin with glass, plastic, or silicone cups. It may help boost immune function, increase blood flow, and reduce pain.
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy aims to gently and rhythmically move the lymph through the body, especially swollen areas of the body, relieving pressure and enhancing the functioning of the immune system. As both a preventative and remedial technique, LD can be used for a wide range of purposes including faster recovery from injury, reduction of swelling and discomfort from pregnancy, and strengthened resistance to illness.
The lymphatic network—made up of vessels and organs under your skin—is a crucial part of the immune system that works kind of like a garbage disposal (totally not gross!).
"It acts like a sanitation system for our body by getting rid of 'waste' that our body naturally produces, or other things that can invade our body, like bacteria.
Most of the time, impaired or plugged-up lymphatic vessels are the result of surgery, infection, trauma, or diseases, such as cancer or autoimmune disorders.

Hot Stone Therapy is a style of massage where heated stones are placed at specific sites on your body to deepen relaxation and promote circulation in your muscles. Muscles that are heated with these stones release tension and stress much more deeply and quickly than with a traditional massage. The overall experience is very relaxing, nurturing, and rejuvenating.
Sports Massage is a type of massage designed for highly active people who engage in athletics. Engaging in sports is harsh on the body and can often lead to injuries in both the short and long term. Sports Massage enhances performance and prolongs a sports career by helping to prevent injury, reduce pains and swelling in the body, relax the mind, increase flexibility, and dramatically improve recovery rates. Sports Massage is also highly effective in aiding the rapid recovery of an athlete from an injury by encouraging greater kinesthetic awareness and in turn promoting the body's natural immune function.
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
What is Lypossage?
Lypossage is a non-invasive body contouring technique that combines elements of complex physical therapy, deep lymphatic drainage, and myofascial release to enhance body tone and reduce the appearance of cellulite. Developed as a holistic approach to body sculpting, Lypossage aims to improve circulation, promote lymphatic flow, and break down adhesions under the skin that contribute to uneven texture.
Understanding the Lypossage Process
The treatment is structured into three distinct zones, each targeting specific areas of the body:
- Zone 1: Focuses on the hips, thighs, buttocks, and lower abdomen. This zone aims to diminish cellulite and improve muscle and skin tone.
- Zone 2: Covers the upper abdomen, back, and arms. Treatments here work to enhance posture, improve lymphatic flow, and tone the upper body.
- Zone 3: Encompasses the face, neck, and head. This zone is designed to lift and tone facial tissues, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and improve skin texture.
Each session typically lasts about 30-45 minutes per zone, with a complete program consisting of 6 to 18 sessions over 4 to 8 weeks, at a frequency of 2 to 4 treatments per week. Clients often begin to notice changes after 6 to 10 sessions, with more significant results developing as the program progresses.
Benefits of Lypossage
Beyond its primary goal of body contouring, Lypossage offers several additional benefits:
- Enhanced energy levels and mental clarity
- Improved posture and muscle tone
- Reduction in areas of discomfort
- Detoxification through the release of lymphatic fluids
- Improved skin texture and tone
It's important to note that while Lypossage can lead to a reduction in body dimensions, it is not a weight loss program. Instead, it focuses on reshaping and toning the body by eliminating stagnant lymphatic fluid and breaking down tissue adhesions.
Safety and Certification
Lypossage is considered a safe, non-invasive treatment suitable for most healthy individuals. However, certain health conditions may contraindicate its use, so a consultation with a certified Lypossage practitioner is essential before beginning treatment.
Measuring Progress
Practitioners track client progress through regular measurements, photographs, and weight assessments at key intervals during the treatment program. While lifestyle changes are not mandatory, incorporating healthy habits can enhance and sustain the results achieved through Lypossage.

Benefits after surgery…Benefits of lymphatic massage after surgery
Lymphatic massage can have many benefits after surgery, including:
Lymphatic massage is a gentle treatment that involves manipulating the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is responsible for carrying waste products away from tissues and back toward the heart. After surgery, the body's natural inflammatory response can overwhelm the lymphatic system. Lymphatic massage helps move excess fluid and lymph out of the tissues and into the lymphatic system, where it can be processed and eliminated from the body.

Neuromuscular therapy is a system of massage techniques that were developed in the 1930's by Dr. Stanley Lief in England. It uses a holistic approach towards healing, emphasizing and stimulating the body's natural ability to heal itself. Neuromuscular therapy also enhances the function of joints and muscles, and accelerates the overall healing process by facilitating the release of endorphins.
Myofascial release is a form of soft tissue therapy intended to eliminate pain, increase range of motion, and rebalance the entire body. It does this by using massage techniques to stretch the fascia and release the bonds that exist between the fascia, muscles and bones. Fascia is the connective tissue that connects and covers all muscles, organs, and skeletal structures of the body. Direct myofascial release is sometimes known as deep tissue work. Indirect release applies light pressure and gently stretches the fascia; this allows for increased blood circulation and relief from pain.
Acupressure is based on one the most ancient principles of healing - that simply touching a specific point on the body will release stress and improve health in the body. In an acupressure session, I apply firm pressure directly to these “points” on your body, which relieves your muscle tension and improves your circulation. This simple and powerful technique has been shown to be very effective in treating headaches, backaches, and even insomnia.
CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle yet powerful technique that is effective in releasing neck pain, back pain, and mental stress (among other things). It does this by optimizing the movement of cerebrospinal fluid through the spine and around the skull. Developed by physician William Sutherland, this therapy provides a very soothing and relaxing healing experience.
Trigger Point Therapy is a style of bodywork that focuses on stimulating and releasing “trigger points” in your body. Trigger points are tender areas of tension similar to acupressure points, except they occur in the belly of the muscle rather than along the energy pathways of the body. These “knots” are built up throughout a person's life due to physical, mental, and/or emotional stress. During a session, focused pressure is applied through a variety of techniques order to release your trigger points. This process can be quite painful at times, yet the effects are lasting and profoundly transformative.
