Home-visit cupping therapy
Suction cups placed on the back and shoulders — the treatment behind the familiar round marks.
What it is
Cupping uses suction to lift the skin and the tissue underneath, rather than pressing down into it the way massage does. It is traditionally used where muscles feel tight, heavy or stuck — most often across the upper back and shoulders.
The round marks it leaves are normal and fade on their own, usually within a few days to a week. They are not bruises in the injury sense. I will always tell you before we start if a session is likely to leave visible marks, so you can plan around anything you have coming up.
What happens in a session
- Quick chat and a look at the area.
- Cups stay on or glide over the area for 10–15 minutes.
- Aftercare: keep warm, no cold shower for a few hours.
What people traditionally come for
- Tight, heavy shoulders and upper back
- Muscle soreness after physical work or training
- General fatigue and sluggishness
- Discomfort from long hours at a desk
Good to know
These are concerns people traditionally seek this treatment for — not a promise of a particular result. Whether it suits your situation is something Jelly will discuss with you at the consultation. If she thinks you should see a doctor first, she will tell you.
- Tell me about any medicines you take, especially blood thinners, hormones or fertility drugs.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding? Mention it when you book; some techniques are adjusted or avoided.
- Eat something light 1–2 hours before, and wear loose clothing.
