The treatment

What is cupping therapy?

Cupping has been used for centuries in Chinese and Middle Eastern traditions. Cups are placed on the skin and the air inside is reduced, so the skin and the muscle beneath are gently drawn up into the cup. Many people book it for a tight back and shoulders.

The cupping offered at Cora Spa is dry cupping: suction only, with no cuts to the skin. Round marks are common afterwards and usually fade within several days.
