I have wanted to try Cupping since I heard about GOOP’s
weird markings on the red carpet. Bucket list item. I was
browsing Groupon and I found one for Marshall Back and Body Wellness Center. Sold.
I went at my scheduled time and was back in the massage room
almost immediately after turning in my patient paperwork. I stripped down and laid on the massage
chair. (Pro tip: Don’t worry mascara!)
The woman who did my cupping was a chiropractor! I was expecting just an assistant, but she
was an actual licensed chiropractor. She
gave me a short massage to loosen up my back and get the blood pumping, and
then she explained the cupping procedure.
She heated up the glass cups and placed them on my back. At first there was a slight stinging
sensation, but that went away fairly quickly.
I stayed on the table for about 10-15 minutes just letting the cups do
their thing. After a few minutes, you
don’t even notice them anymore.
She came back in and took them off of me and I got dressed
again. I looked in the mirror while I
was getting dressed and was startled for a second! LOL.
It was cool.
I didn’t feel any different afterwards that I noticed. I feel like the cups just gave me a bunch of
hickies on my back, but I maybe didn’t notice the effects. Anyway, bucket list item done!
