Cupping Therapy in Edmonton

At Oliver Chiropractic Wellness Clinic, we offer professional cupping therapy in Edmonton as part of our massage therapy treatments. Cupping is a gentle technique that uses suction to support soft tissue mobility, circulation, and muscle relaxation.

If you’re experiencing muscle tightness, restricted movement, or persistent tension, cupping therapy may help as part of your personalized care plan.

What is Cupping Therapy?

Cupping therapy involves placing specialized cups on the skin to create negative pressure (suction). Unlike deep pressure massage, cupping gently lifts the tissue instead of compressing it.

This technique is commonly used to support:

  • Muscle tension relief
  • Fascial restrictions
  • Postural tightness
  • Recovery from physical activity
  • Neck and shoulder discomfort
  • Low back tension

Cupping is often integrated with massage therapy or acupuncture depending on your treatment goals.

How Cupping Therapy Works

The suction created by the cups helps:

  • Encourage local circulation
  • Improve tissue mobility
  • Reduce feelings of tightness
  • Support recovery after strain

Mild circular marks may appear after treatment — this is a normal response and typically fades within several days.

Is Cupping Therapy Right for You?

Cupping may be beneficial if you:

  • Sit for long hours at a desk
  • Experience upper back or shoulder tightness
  • Train regularly and want support with recovery
  • Have persistent muscle tension

Your Registered Massage Therapist will determine if cupping is appropriate for your condition during your assessment.
