Care
Cupping
Glass or silicone cups set on the back or shoulders for a few minutes, added to a visit.
A cup is placed on the skin and draws it gently upward, then stays for a few minutes. Elnora chooses where and for how long after asking about your day and your skin.
Who usually comes
People with tight shoulders from desk work or driving
People who like firm, steady pressure
People who want it alongside acupuncture

You lie under a sheet and the cups go on.

They come off slowly, and we tell you what to expect afterward.
Good to know
Before and after
What you may feel afterward
Light round marks are common and fade in a few days. The skin can feel tender. Keep the area covered and out of strong sun.
Tell us first
Blood thinners or a bleeding disorder, broken or sunburned skin, pregnancy, and whether you bruise easily. We may skip cupping or use a lighter touch.
How many visits
Elnora suggests how often as a starting point, not a promise. Results vary, and the marks need time to fade between visits.
What it does not do, and when to see a doctor
It does not replace your doctor or your medicine. See a doctor first for sudden, severe pain, chest pain, new weakness or numbness, a high fever, or loss of bladder or bowel control. In an emergency, call 911.
