Why choose PosturoPlus for your cupping therapy?

Cupping therapy, also known as cupping therapy, is a method inspired by traditional Chinese medicine. It involves applying suction cups to the skin to create a suction effect that draws blood to the surface, stimulating deep-tissue circulation and promoting the elimination of toxins.

This natural technique helps to release muscular tension, reduce pain and activate the body’s own healing mechanisms. Depending on your needs, suction cups can be placed statically or glided over the skin for a draining, relaxing effect.

Today, cupping therapy is widely used by many healthcare professionals, including massage therapists, acupuncturists and physiotherapists. At PosturoPlus, we offer you safe, personalized care, supervised by experienced practitioners who ensure that the technique is adapted to your well-being goals and physical condition.

We combine tradition with modern expertise to offer you a safe, effective and personalized therapeutic experience. Here’s what sets us apart:

  • Qualified professionals: our therapists are specifically trained in the use of suction cups according to safe, proven protocols.
  • Holistic approach: we integrate cupping therapy into an overall treatment plan, in collaboration with other professionals (physiotherapists, acupuncturists, massage therapists, etc.).
  • Rigorous safety and hygiene: all equipment is disinfected or single-use, in a clean, soothing environment.
  • Listening and adaptation: each session is tailored to your specific needs, tolerance and health goals.
  • Visible, felt results: the majority of our customers report an improvement from the very first session.

We don’t just treat a symptom – we take care of the whole person.

How does a session work?

  1. Initial Consultation
    The therapist takes the time to understand your needs, your overall health, and any pain or discomfort you may be experiencing. This allows us to provide a safe and targeted treatment.
  2. Getting Settled
    You are invited to relax on a treatment table in a quiet, comfortable room. The therapist exposes the area to be treated.
  3. Application of Cupping
    Cupping cups are applied using controlled suction (via heat or a manual pump). They may be placed statically or moved gently to further stimulate circulation.
  4. Treatment time
    The cups may remain in place for 5 to 20 minutes. During this time, you may feel a pulling sensation, sometimes accompanied by a gentle warmth or relaxation.
  5. End of the session and recommendations
    The cups are removed gently. Circular red marks may appear: these are normal, painless, and disappear after 3 to 10 days. The therapist will then offer you personalized advice to maximize the benefits of the treatment.
