Whether you’re dealing with a specific condition or simply seeking a natural way to unwind, cupping therapy in Singapore offers a holistic and therapeutic solution.
Cupping therapy is a traditional healing technique that involves creating suction on the skin using special cups.
During a session, the therapist will prepare specific areas of your body (typically your back) by ensuring your skin is clean and free of oils. Once ready, the therapist will place cups on your skin and use a suction technique to create a vacuum effect.
There are different types of cupping, each with its own benefits:
– Dry Cupping: This is the most common form, where the cups are placed on the skin to create suction. It helps to increase blood flow, relieve muscle tension, and enhance relaxation.
– Wet Cupping: Also known as hijama, this involves making small incisions in the skin before applying the cups. The suction draws out small amounts of blood, which can help remove toxins and promote healing. Wet cupping is often used for more chronic conditions and detoxification purposes.
Cupping therapy is generally safe when performed by a trained professional. However, there are a few precautions to keep in mind:
– Consult with a healthcare provider before undergoing cupping therapy. This is especially important if you have any health conditions such as skin disorders, high blood pressure, or are pregnant.
– The suction may leave temporary marks on the skin, which are typically harmless and fade within a few days to a week.
– Ensure your therapist uses clean, sterilised cups to prevent infection.
Cupping therapy uses various types of cups, each designed for different effects:
Glass Cups: These are the most traditional type, often used for their transparency and effectiveness in creating a strong vacuum.
Bamboo Cups: A more natural alternative, bamboo cups are often used for their eco-friendly properties.
Silicone Cups: These flexible cups allow for a gentler suction and are great for self-care applications or treating more sensitive areas of the body.
Suction is the key mechanism behind cupping therapy. By creating a vacuum inside the cup, the suction lifts the skin and underlying tissues, promoting blood flow and stimulating the body’s healing processes. This process helps break up muscle knots, relieve tension, and improve overall circulation.
Cupping marks are a temporary side effect of cupping therapy, but they are not bruises. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), these marks provide insight into your body’s health and energy flow. They are diagnostic indicators that reveal underlying conditions and areas in need of attention.
Here’s what to expect when you book a cupping therapy session at Capital Spa:
Our therapist will begin with a consultation to understand your health concerns and goals for the treatment. This helps us tailor the session to your specific needs.
We use a variety of cups, including glass and silicone, to ensure the best experience. Glass cups are traditional and offer a more intense suction, while silicone cups are gentle and ideal for beginners.
The session typically lasts between 20 to 30 minutes. During the therapy, you will feel a gentle pull on the skin as the cups create suction. While cupping can be intense, it is generally not painful and should feel soothing as the treatment progresses.
After your cupping therapy session, we recommend drinking plenty of water to help flush out toxins, and avoiding strenuous activities for 24 hours. Your therapist may also suggest specific stretches or tips to prolong the benefits.
At Capital Spa, your comfort and well-being are our top priorities. Rest assured that our professional therapists will ensure your session is both effective and relaxing.

While cupping therapy is generally safe, it may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions like skin disorders or blood-related issues. During your consultation at Capital Spa, our experienced therapist will assess whether cupping therapy is suitable for you.
Cupping marks are temporary and usually last between 3 to 10 days, depending on your body’s response to the treatment. They are not bruises but indicators of your body’s healing process.
Cupping therapy is typically not painful. You may experience a mild pulling sensation, but it should feel relaxing rather than uncomfortable. If you feel any discomfort, inform your therapist immediately.
Yes, you can combine cupping therapy with other treatments like massages for enhanced benefits.
