Cupping Therapy Adelaide | Release Chronic Tension & Restore Balance

Feeling Tense, Heavy, or Stuck?

Modern life has a way of catching up with us. You carry it in your shoulders. Your back. Your breath. Sometimes, even sleep doesn’t reset your nervous system.

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.

What Is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping uses heated glass cups applied to specific points on the body to create gentle suction. This process:
  • Stimulates blood flow
  • Releases fascia and tight muscle tissue
  • Clears out stagnation
  • Supports detoxification
  • Helps regulate the nervous system
The result?  You feel lighter. Less inflamed. More mobile. Often after just one session.

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 Can Cupping Help With?

Many clients book in for cupping when struggling with:
  • Back or neck pain
  • Muscle tension and stiffness
  • Headaches or migraines
  • Fatigue or sluggish circulation
  • Stress-related tightness
  • Feeling “stuck” emotionally or physically

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.
