"Are those bruises?"
No. They're a story.
Those dark marks from cupping therapy show where your body's been holding stagnation - old blood, lymph fluid, and metabolic waste it couldn't clear on its own.
We create suction that pulls all that to the surface where your body can finally process and eliminate it.
The darker the marks, the more stagnation was there.
For respiratory issues (hello, November), we focus on the upper back. When you're congested or fighting off illness, marks here are often darker - that's buildup preventing your lungs from clearing and your immune system from working efficiently.
What it feels like: Relaxing, not painful. Most people are surprised.
What it does: Increases blood flow by 400%, reduces inflammation, clears congestion.
How long marks last: Anywhere from 24 hours to a week, depending on how efficiently your body processes what we released.
Perfect timing if you've been fighting off something that won't clear, dealing with chest tightness, or getting sick repeatedly.
Sessions available at our clinic in Walsall.
