One of the most common questions we get about fire cupping is: "Is it safe?"
The short answer is yes! 🙌 When performed by a trained practitioner, it is a safe and deeply therapeutic treatment.
A lot of people see the flame and get nervous, but here’s how it actually works: the flame is only used for a split second to remove oxygen from the cup and create a vacuum. The flame never touches your skin, and the cup itself isn’t hot.
In fact, most people are surprised by how relaxing and comfortable it actually feels! 💆♂️
Depending on your body and your goals, we use cupping to:
✨ Reduce muscle tension & tightness
🩸 Improve local circulation
🏋️♂️ Support athletic recovery
🔄 Improve mobility in restricted areas
Note: It’s completely normal for cupping to leave those famous circular marks! They aren't bruises, and they typically fade in a few days.
