What Can Cupping Help With?

  • Back or neck pain. Relieve deep-set tension and stiffness
  • Post-training soreness or stiffness. Recover faster and move more freely 
  • Headaches or migraines.  Release tightness through the shoulders and neck
  • Fatigue or sluggish circulation. Promote energy and enhance flow 
  • General stress-related muscle tension. Relax the body and calm the mind
  • Feeling “stuck” emotionally or physically.

The result?  You feel lighter. Less inflamed. More mobile. Often after just one session.

What to Expect at Your First Visit?

At our Hackney clinic (near Rundle Mall & Botanic Gardens), each session is designed around your comfort. Dr Sandra explains what to expect, checks in regularly, and ensures you feel relaxed throughout.


Cupping therapy is one of the oldest, and most misunderstood, tools for clearing that internal weight. And when done properly, it’s deeply relaxing, relieving, and restorative.

  • Central Adelaide location for easy access

  • Gentle, professional treatments focused on your wellbeing

  • Transparent fees and health-fund rebates available

  • Option to combine with acupuncture for deeper results

Serving Patients Of Adelaide For Over 8 Years

A Modern, Grounded Approach

At Acumend, cupping is not a trendy service or a spa add-on. It’s a carefully practiced, clinically informed technique used by Dr. Sandra Phanthapangna, who combines deep anatomical knowledge with the wisdom of Chinese medicine.

Cupping is offered as part of a full consultation or integrated into a broader treatment plan, whether you’re seeking relief from chronic tension, recovery support, or just space to breathe again.

What Does Cupping Therapy Do?

  • Stimulates blood flow
  • Releases fascia and tight muscle tissue
  • Clears out stagnation
  • Supports detoxification
  • Helps regulate the nervous system

It’s not just physical, many report feeling mentally clearer, lighter, and emotionally calmer after a session.

What Does It Feel Like?

Cupping feels like a deep, pulling pressure, almost like a reverse massage.
You might experience light pink or purple marks where the cups were placed (a natural result of stagnant blood being brought to the surface). These marks fade in a few days and are not painful.
Most clients describe the experience as deeply calming and surprisingly enjoyable.
Why Choose Cupping with Sandra?

Dr. Sandra brings the clinical precision and empathic care you want in a practitioner. With training in both traditional Chinese medicine and modern anatomy, every cup is placed with intention, not guesswork.

You’re not treated like a chart. You’re seen as a whole person, with muscle memory, emotional tension, and unique patterns of stress.
This makes the difference between a treatment that just marks your skin… and one that releases something deeper.

Rebalance From Within

Whether you’re looking to ease chronic tension, recover from burnout, or just feel like yourself again, cupping offers a gentle reset.

Book a treatment. Breathe deeper. Walk out lighter.
