Cupping Therapy at Bridgwater Acupuncture & Massage
Experience the benefits of cupping therapy in Winnipeg. Relieve pain, improve circulation, and restore balance.
What is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping therapy is an ancient healing technique rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). During a session, our therapist places specially designed cups on your skin—typically on the back—for several minutes to create gentle suction.
The suction helps break up stagnation and congestion by drawing congested blood to the surface. This process restores the smooth flow of Qi (energy) throughout your body, promoting healing and balance.
Benefits of Cupping Therapy
Pain Relief: Helps reduce muscle tension and eases chronic pain conditions.
Improved Circulation: Enhances blood flow, supporting faster recovery and detoxification.
Reduced Inflammation: Targets areas of swelling to promote natural healing.
Relaxation & Well-being: Induces deep relaxation and mental calmness.

1
Does cupping hurt?
Most clients describe cupping as relaxing, similar to a deep tissue massage. You may feel a gentle pulling sensation, but it should not be painful. Some temporary marks (not bruises) may appear and usually fade within a few days.
2
How long do the marks last?
The circular marks from cupping typically last 3–7 days, depending on your activity level and circulation. They are not bruises but a sign of increased blood flow and detoxification.
3
Is cupping safe?
Yes, when performed by a trained professional. However, it’s not recommended for individuals with certain conditions such as severe heart disease, skin infections, or during pregnancy without prior consultation.
4
Does the color of cupping marks mean anything?
Yes! The color and intensity of the marks can provide insight into your body’s condition:
- Light Pink or Red: Indicates good circulation and minimal stagnation.
- Bright Red: Suggests strong blood flow and energy in the area.
- Dark Red or Purple: Often points to deeper stagnation or toxin buildup.
- Brown: May indicate old blood or toxins being released.
- Pale or White: Could suggest low energy or poor circulation.
