Fire cupping in
Cheltenham & Gloucester

Fire cupping is an ancient healing practice used for relaxation, recovery, and overall wellbeing. By placing heated cups on the skin to create gentle suction, it encourages blood flow, releases muscle tension, and promotes natural healing.

​

Benefits of fire cupping may include:

• Relief from muscle aches, stiffness, and back or neck pain

• Improved circulation and reduced inflammation

• Faster recovery after training or physical activity

• Deep relaxation and reduced stress

• Support for better sleep and energy balance

• Respiratory and immune support, easing congestion and boosting resilience

 

Fire cupping may be suitable for:

• Active individuals and athletes seeking faster recovery

• Those with muscle tightness, soreness, or postural tension

• People experiencing stress, fatigue, or poor sleep

• Anyone looking for a natural way to support relaxation and wellbeing

 

Fire cupping is not suitable for:

• Pregnant individuals (especially on the abdomen or lower back)

• Those with skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis, open wounds, infections)

• People with blood clotting disorders or on blood-thinning medication

• Individuals with severe heart conditions or uncontrolled high blood pressure

• Anyone with extreme fatigue, dehydration, or illness at the time of treatment

 

Fire cupping is a safe, calming treatment that can leave circular marks for a few days—this is a normal part of the process.
