Cupping Therapy in Victoria

About Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy is a powerful, time-tested technique often incorporated into acupuncture sessions at Remedy Wellness Centre in Victoria, BC. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), cupping is a natural therapy that promotes healing by improving circulation, reducing muscle tension, and restoring balance to the body.

Our licensed acupuncturists combine cupping therapy with acupuncture to enhance your treatment, creating a comprehensive and relaxing wellness experience.

What Is Cupping Therapy?

Cupping therapy involves placing cups on the skin to create a vacuum or suction. This suction pulls the skin and underlying tissue upward, stimulating blood flow, reducing inflammation, and releasing tension. Cupping is commonly used for a wide range of health concerns, from muscle pain to stress relief.

At Remedy Wellness Centre, we use cupping therapy alongside acupuncture to maximize its therapeutic effects. Together, these techniques harmonize your body’s energy (qi), helping you achieve optimal health and well-being.

Benefits of Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy offers a variety of health benefits, including:

PAIN RELIEF

• Effective for chronic and acute pain, especially in the back, neck, and shoulders.
• Promotes muscle relaxation and reduces stiffness.
• Research study supports cupping as a complementary therapy for managing pain.

IMPROVED CIRCULATION

• Stimulates blood flow to the treated area, supporting healing and recovery.
• Aids in detoxification by removing stagnant blood and promoting lymphatic drainage.

STRESS AND ANXIETY REDUCTION

How Cupping Therapy Enhances Acupuncture

When paired with acupuncture, cupping therapy amplifies the effects of treatment by:
