Other Services at Jung Wellbeing include cupping therapy and Gua Sha, used to support circulation, release muscle tension, and complement acupuncture and massage treatments. These traditional therapies are tailored to individual needs and are commonly integrated into holistic treatment plans.
Cupping therapy is a traditional treatment used in Chinese medicine to support circulation, release tension, and address areas of stagnation in the body. At Jung Wellbeing, cupping is used as a supportive therapy, often alongside acupuncture or massage, rather than as a standalone, one-size-fits-all treatment.
During cupping therapy, cups are applied to the skin to create gentle suction. This suction helps lift the tissues, encouraging local circulation and easing muscular tightness. Cups may be placed along specific areas of tension, muscle groups, or acupuncture pathways, depending on your presentation.
Cups are typically left in place for several minutes. It is common for circular marks or redness to appear on the skin after treatment. These marks are not bruises from trauma, but a normal response to suction and increased circulation. They are temporary and usually fade within a few days.
Cupping therapy is commonly used to support:
Muscle tightness and soreness
Neck, shoulder, and back tension
Areas of restricted movement
Recovery after physical strain or stress
Cupping is always applied with care and adjusted to your comfort level.
Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves gentle scraping of the skin using a smooth-edged tool, such as jade or ceramic. This technique is used to support circulation, release muscular tension, and encourage movement within the tissues.
In Chinese medicine, Gua Sha is used to address areas of tension or stagnation within the body. The scraping action may cause temporary redness or marks on the skin, which are a normal response and typically fade within a few days.
Gua Sha may be used on the body or face, depending on your needs, and is often integrated into acupuncture, massage, or cosmetic treatments.
This therapy is commonly used to support:
Muscle stiffness and tightness
Neck and shoulder tension
Headaches or upper back discomfort
Circulatory sluggishness
Facial tension or puffiness (when applied to the face)
Gua Sha is applied thoughtfully and gently, with pressure adjusted to suit your comfort and condition.
