HOW FIRE CUPPING WORKS
Traditional Cupping with Clear, Careful Technique
Fire cupping is a traditional form of dry cupping. A flame is briefly used to warm the air inside a glass cup and create suction before the cup is placed on the skin. The flame never touches your body. Depending on the goal, cups may remain in one place or be moved over a lubricated area.
The suction lifts the skin and superficial tissue. Many people seek cupping for back, neck, and shoulder tension, post-workout tightness, or the feeling that an area is difficult to release. Research is limited and mixed, so cupping is presented as supportive care rather than a cure or a way to remove toxins.
Focused on comfort. Adjusted to your body.

FAQS
Questions About Fire Cupping?
Clear answers before you schedule. We’re here to help.
Does fire touch the skin?
No. Fire is used briefly to change the pressure inside the glass cup before placement. It does not touch your body.
Are cupping marks bruises?
They can look like bruises, but they are created by suction rather than impact. The color and duration vary. Tell healthcare professionals about recent cupping marks so they are not misinterpreted.
How long do the marks last?
Many marks fade within several days, but darker marks may remain longer. Avoid booking immediately before an event if visible circles would bother you.
Can fire cupping be combined with acupuncture?
Yes. It is often paired with acupuncture when both techniques are appropriate. It can also be booked as a focused service.
What should I do after cupping?
Keep the area clean, avoid aggressive rubbing or extreme heat, stay hydrated, and follow the instructions provided at your visit. Contact the office about any unexpected reaction.
