What Is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping therapy is a time-tested technique that uses specialized cups to create gentle suction on the skin. This suction lifts and decompresses soft tissue, helping to:
- Increase local blood flow
- Release tight or restricted muscles
- Reduce pain and stiffness
- Support the body’s natural healing response
Unlike treatments that only press into tight areas, cupping works by creating space in the tissue. This can be especially helpful for stubborn tension that hasn’t responded well to other approaches.

How Cupping Therapy Helps You Feel Better
Cupping therapy is often used to address:
- Muscle tension and tightness
- Neck, shoulder, and back pain
- Reduced mobility or stiffness
- Chronic pain patterns
- Postural strain and overuse injuries
- Recovery support for active individuals
By improving circulation and reducing tissue restriction, cupping helps your body move more freely and recover more efficiently. Many people notice a sense of lightness, improved range of motion, and reduced discomfort following treatment.
A Personalized Approach to Cupping at Coquitlam Wellness Center
Your body is unique—and your cupping session should be too. At Coquitlam Wellness Center, cupping therapy is never a one-size-fits-all experience.
Your session is tailored based on:
- Your symptoms and goals
- Areas of restriction or discomfort
- How your body responds during treatment
Cupping may be used on its own or combined with other therapies, such as acupuncture or physiotherapy, to create a more comprehensive and effective treatment plan.
What to Expect During Your Cupping Session
Your cupping session at our Coquitlam clinic is designed to feel supportive and intentional.
Here’s what you can expect:
- A brief assessment and discussion of your concerns
- Targeted cup placement based on your needs
- Gentle to moderate suction, adjusted for comfort
- A relaxing treatment environment focused on recovery
Temporary circular marks may appear after treatment—this is a normal response and typically fades within a few days.
