Cupping is an ancient therapy from Traditional Chinese Medicine that, like acupuncture, has been used for thousands of years. The practice involves applying suction cups to the body to remove stagnation and blockages. This helps to maintain balance in the body (which is the underlying aim of Traditional Chinese Medicine) and helps to prevent dis-ease’ in the body.

The benefits of cupping include:
- Relieves muscle tension (it can be just as effective as a deep tissue massage)
- Removes stagnation in the body (Qi/blood/energy)
- Boosts blood flow and circulation
- Relaxes the body and the mind
- Releases endorphins
- Promotes tissue repair
- Reduces inflammation
- Encourages the release of toxins from the body
- Triggers the body’s self-healing response
Cupping will be recommended in your personalised treatment plan if you are experiencing musculoskeletal pain, inflammation, depression, anxiety, stress, insomnia, or if you are just looking to experience a deeper state of relaxation.
Cupping can also be provided as a stand-alone treatment (without ear acupuncture).
“I had an incredible experience with Hannah at Elemental Balance for ear acupuncture and cupping! She took the time to listen to my concerns and provided a tailored treatment that left me feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. I noticed an immediate improvement in my stress levels and overall well being after my session. I’ll definitely be returning.”
