Experience the Benefits of Cupping Therapy
Cupping Therapy has been used for centuries to enhance blood circulation, relieve muscle tension, and promote overall healing. At Boulder Therapeutics, we are excited to offer standalone 45 min cupping sessions to help you experience these benefits.
What is Cupping Therapy?
The Origins of Cupping Therapy: Cupping Therapy has a rich history, with evidence dating back to ancient Egypt around 1500 B.C. It has also been practiced in ancient China, Greece, and the Middle East. In China, cupping dates to the Han Dynasty, with renowned medical doctor Ge Hong advocating for its use alongside acupuncture to cure a variety of ailments.
Modern Practice: While rooted in ancient traditions, cupping therapy has evolved and gained popularity in modern times, especially among athletes and celebrities. Today, it’s widely used to treat conditions that cause muscle aches and pains, with public figures like Michael Phelps and Jennifer Aniston bringing attention to its benefits.

Benefits of Cupping Therapy
• Enhanced Circulation: Improves blood flow, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen to tissues.
• Myofascial Release: Reduces muscle tension and breaks up scar tissue.
• Scar Tissue Breakdown: Improves flexibility and range of motion by breaking down adhesions.
• Decreases Pain: Relieves muscle soreness, stiffness, and pain.
• Injury Recovery: Speeds up recovery by enhancing circulation and releasing stuck tissue.
• Stress and Tension Relief: Eases stress and tension, leaving you feeling lighter and more relaxed.
What to Expect from a Cupping Session
How Does Cupping Feel? Cupping generally doesn’t hurt. It creates a suction sensation, resulting in pressure and warmth. Pressure levels can be adjusted for comfort, and the process often leaves clients feeling lighter and more relaxed.
Cupping Marks Cupping can leave round, purple or red marks, which are not true bruises but indicate broken capillaries. These marks often fade on their own and are considered a “badge of honor” among athletes.
Side-Effects and Safety While cupping is generally safe, some may experience mild side-effects like fatigue, headaches, or muscle soreness. Discuss your medical history with your therapist to ensure cupping is right for you.
