Cupping Therapy with Neil in Greater Vancouver

Richmond | Surrey | Burnaby

What is Cupping therapy?

Cupping therapy is a time-tested healing method in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), widely used to relieve muscle tightness, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural detoxification process.

At TCM with Neil, I provide various types of cupping tailored to your specific health needs.

Is Cupping Right for You?

If you suffer from:

  • chronic pain

  • muscle tension

  • fatigue

  • other symptoms of internal imbalance

cupping therapy may be a safe and effective part of your treatment plan. I will carefully assess your condition and recommend the most suitable cupping method for your body type and health goals.

Types of Cupping Therapy

Each type of cupping therapy offers unique benefits, and the choice depends on your condition, comfort level, and treatment goals.

Glass Cupping (Fire Cupping)

  • Often used to treat cold symptoms and deep muscular tension

  • Uses fire to create suction, producing a stronger and warmer effect

  • Offers a firm grip and deeper stimulation, which many patients find more effective

  • Commonly applied for back pain, stiff shoulders, and general body coldness

Plastic Suction Cupping

  • Uses a hand-held suction pump instead of fire, making it suitable for places where open flame is restricted (e.g. condos or clinics with fire safety policies)

  • Often used alongside pricking to bleed (a TCM method involving light needling to release stagnant blood)

  • Especially effective for chronic muscle pain, varicose veins, gout, and arthritis

  • More versatile than fire cupping—can be safely used on the neck, feet, and other sensitive areas

Silicone Cupping (Soft or Easy Cups)

  • The most gentle option with the lightest suction pressure

  • Suitable for patients with sensitivity or mild discomfort

  • Frequently used by massage therapists and for self-care to ease fascial tension

  • Ideal for relieving mild muscle soreness or early-stage tension
