Cupping Therapy
in Mira Road, Mumbai
Suction cups create gentle negative pressure on the skin to promote blood flow, ease muscle tightness and support recovery. Offered by Dr. Renu Saroj and her team at AlignAsya as part of a complete treatment plan.

- ✓ Adjusted or skipped for sensitive skin when appropriate
Cupping Therapy FAQ
Why does cupping leave marks on the skin?
The suction can bring blood to the surface of the skin, leaving temporary circular marks that typically fade within a few days to a week. This is a normal, expected response and not a sign of injury.
Is cupping painful?
Most people describe it as a tight, pulling sensation rather than pain. Suction strength is adjusted to your comfort throughout the session.
How often can I get cupping done?
This depends on your condition and how your skin responds. Your physiotherapist will space out sessions appropriately, often allowing marks to fade before repeating treatment on the same area.
Who should avoid cupping?
Cupping isn't suitable for everyone — people with certain skin conditions, blood-clotting concerns or over broken skin should avoid it. Your physiotherapist will screen for this during your assessment.
