Yes. Cupping Therapeutic Massage at MedLife is generally safe; therapists assess your health history, adjust suction intensity, and avoid contraindicated areas. Inform us of skin issues, blood disorders, pregnancy, or medications so we can customize or recommend alternatives.

Sessions usually range from 30 to 60 minutes depending on targeted areas and client needs. Initial appointments may include a longer consultation. Your therapist will recommend duration based on goals like pain relief or improved mobility.

Wear loose, comfortable clothing and arrive hydrated. Avoid heavy meals, alcohol, or recent sunburn. Discuss medications, health conditions, and goals with your therapist so they can tailor suction strength, cup placement, and session length.

Frequency depends on condition severity and goals; many clients notice relief after one session, while chronic issues benefit from weekly or biweekly treatments over several weeks. Your therapist will create a personalized plan and adjust based on progress.

Yes. Avoid cupping with active infections, open wounds, severe varicose veins, blood-clotting disorders, certain skin conditions, or if pregnant without medical clearance. Disclose medications like blood thinners so therapists can modify or recommend alternatives.
