Cupping therapy in San Diego

Glass Fire Cupping Therapy

Glass Fire Cupping is a manual therapy that has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years. Many people come to it for relief from muscular pain and tension, and stay for how good it feels.

Why clients love it

What Cupping Is Used For

Muscular pain and tension

Neck, back and shoulder tightness are the most common reasons people book.

Circulation and recovery

Cupping brings fresh blood flow to the area, which supports muscle recovery.

Relaxation

Clients often describe it as a deep tissue massage in reverse. It can help the body settle and unwind.

How it works

Lift, Release, Recover

Medical glass cups are placed on the skin and suction is created with heat, gently lifting the skin and fascia away from the underlying muscles. This spreads and releases the fascia, easing muscle tension and tightness, and signals the body to send fresh blood and oxygen to the area.

  • Often included in your acupuncture sessions when helpful
  • Available as an add-on to any massage
  • Temporary circular marks are normal and fade in a few days
