Ancient suction therapy that releases tension, improves circulation, and draws out stagnation — deeply effective and surprisingly relaxing.
Cupping therapy is one of the most powerful and time-tested tools in Traditional Chinese Medicine. At DAOYI Wellness, our practitioners use glass or silicone cups placed on the skin to create gentle suction — lifting the tissue, releasing tight muscles, improving blood flow, and drawing out stagnation that has built up in the body over time. Whether you’re dealing with chronic muscle tension, pain, or a compromised immune system, cupping offers fast, visible, and lasting relief.
What is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping works by creating negative pressure on the skin and underlying tissue — the opposite of massage, which applies compression. This suction effect separates the layers of tissue, increases local blood circulation, and stimulates the flow of Qi through the meridians. At DAOYI Wellness, cupping is most commonly performed on the back, shoulders, and neck — the areas where tension and stagnation accumulate most. Sessions may use stationary cups, sliding cups, or a combination of both depending on your condition and treatment goals. The temporary marks left on the skin after cupping are not bruises — they are a sign of stagnation being released from deep within the tissue.
