Experience the Healing Power of Cupping Therapy at Humanity Wellness in Yaletown, Vancouver

Are you looking for a natural, effective way to relieve pain, increase blood flow, and promote deep muscle and fascia release?

At Humanity Wellness in Yaletown, Vancouver, our acupuncturist use fire cupping therapy alongside acupuncture to help you recover faster and feel your best.

What Is Cupping Therapy and How Does It Work?

Cupping therapy is an ancient healing technique that uses gentle suction cups placed on the skin to lift the tissue and improve circulation. This increased blood flow helps reduce muscle tension, flush out toxins, and promote the release of fascia. Fascia is the connective tissue surrounding muscles, which can become tight or restricted due to injury or overuse.

Combined with acupuncture, cupping enhances your body’s natural ability to heal and reduces pain caused by muscle tightness, inflammation, and poor circulation.

What Do the Marks After Cupping Therapy Mean?

If you notice colorful circular marks on your skin after a cupping session at Humanity Wellness, don’t worry! These are a positive sign that the therapy is working.

  • Light pink or red marks: Indicate healthy blood flow and mild muscle tension being released.

  • Darker red or purple marks: Show more significant stagnation or “congestion” of blood and toxins brought to the surface for healing. These marks may take several days to a week to fade.

  • Brown or yellowish marks: As your body processes and clears the stagnant blood, the marks change color before fully disappearing.

These marks are different from bruises and generally cause no pain, just temporary discoloration and mild sensitivity.

How Cupping Therapy Helps Release Fascia and Improve Blood Flow

Fascia restrictions can cause pain and limit your mobility. The suction created by cupping helps stretch and loosen this connective tissue, improving flexibility and reducing discomfort. Enhanced blood flow delivers vital oxygen and nutrients to damaged areas, speeding up recovery from injuries and chronic tension.
