Frequently Asked Questions — Cupping Therapy in Mississauga
Everything You Need to Know Before Your First Cupping Session at RTM Spa
Answer: Many extended health insurance plans in Ontario cover cupping therapy
when it is performed as part of a registered acupuncture or massage
therapy treatment by a certified practitioner.
At Royal Touch Medi Spa in Mississauga, we provide official receipts
for all cupping therapy sessions. We strongly recommend contacting
your insurance provider before your appointment to confirm whether
cupping is covered under your specific plan, your annual benefit
limit, and any practitioner credential requirements your plan may specify.
Answer: Cupping therapy is not painful for most clients — the sensation is
often described as an unusual but deeply satisfying pulling or
tightening feeling where the cups are applied. Most people find
the experience intensely relaxing and many drift into a light
sleep during the session.
The intensity of suction can always be adjusted to your comfort
level — particularly for first-time clients or those with more
sensitive skin. Your practitioner will check in with you throughout
the session and make adjustments as needed. Any soreness experienced
after your session is typically mild and similar to what you might
feel after a deep tissue massage — resolving within 24 to 48 hours.
Answer: The circular discoloration left by cupping cups — ranging from
light pink to deep reddish-purple — are not bruises in the
traditional sense. They are caused by blood being drawn to the
surface of the skin during the suction process, revealing areas
where circulation was previously stagnant or restricted.
Answer: Static (Retained) Cupping involves placing cups on specific points
and leaving them in position for 5 to 15 minutes. This is ideal for
targeting concentrated pain points, deep muscle knots, and areas of
chronic stagnation. Static cupping tends to produce more visible
circular marks on the skin.
Answer: Many clients experience significant pain relief and muscle relaxation
after just their first cupping session. For acute tension or
stress-related concerns, 1 to 3 sessions often produce excellent results.
