Cupping therapy is a technique that uses suction to stimulate circulation, detoxify tissues, and restore balance in the body. Practiced for centuries across various cultures, this method is now increasingly appreciated in the Netherlands for its effectiveness in treating muscle tension, fluid retention, and inflammatory conditions.
How does cupping work?
During a cupping session, a silicone or glass cup is applied to the skin and a vacuum is created inside the cup. This gentle suction lifts the tissue and promotes blood and lymphatic flow in the targeted area. After applying a natural oil, the cup is moved in slow, circular motions — allowing deep stimulation of the fascia and skin layers.
This technique helps:
- Improve circulation and lymphatic drainage
- Relieve muscle and joint pain
- Reduce inflammation and fluid stagnation
- Support recovery after injuries or cold-related conditions
- Stimulate metabolic activity and skin oxygenation

When is cupping recommended?
Cupping therapy can be beneficial for:
- Chronic muscle stiffness and back pain
- Cellulite and localized fat retention
- Circulatory issues in the legs and arms (cold limbs, fluid retention)
- Symptoms worsened by humidity, cold weather, or lack of movement
- Post-traumatic rehabilitation and sports recovery
Please note: mild red marks may appear after treatment — these are harmless and indicate reactivated circulation. They typically fade within a few hours.
