Cupping Therapy Explained: Ancient Practice, Modern Benefits

 
 

Cupping may look unusual, this ancient healing practice has been used for thousands of years and today, it’s one of the fastest-growing wellness services offered in modern spas.

At Serenity Zen in Diamond Bar and West Covina, we provide cupping therapy sessions designed to relieve tension, improve circulation, and promote deep relaxation.

What is Cupping Therapy?

Cupping therapy dates back over 2,000 years to Traditional Chinese Medicine, where it was believed to restore balance by improving the flow of energy through the body. The technique also appeared in ancient Egyptian and Middle Eastern medicine.

How Does Cupping Work?

During a cupping service at Serenity Zen, our therapists place special cups on your back. These cups create gentle suction, which lifts the skin and underlying tissue.

The circular marks that sometimes appear are a natural part of the process, signaling increased circulation, and typically fade within a few days.

Benefits of Cupping

Our guests love cupping therapy for its wide range of benefits, including:

  • Muscle Recovery: Ideal for athletes or active individuals.

  • Pain Relief: Eases back pain, shoulder stiffness, and neck tension.

  • Stress Relief: Calms the nervous system and reduces anxiety.

  • Better Flexibility: Helps release tightness so you can move more freely.

  • Boosted Circulation: Enhances nutrient and oxygen flow throughout the body.

Schedule your cupping massage at Serenity Zen today and discover why this ancient practice continues to deliver modern results.

National Wellness Month: How to Celebrate With Serenity

 
 

At Serenity Zen, we believe wellness isn’t just a trend, but it’s a way of life. And what better time to recommit to your self-care than National Wellness Month this August?

This month is all about slowing down, reconnecting with your body, and making time for the habits that make you feel your best. We’re here to help you restore balance—one massage at a time.

🌿 3 Ways to Prioritize Wellness This Month

1. Start with Stillness
In the hustle of everyday life, it's easy to ignore your body’s signals. A massage gives you the space to pause, breathe, and listen. Try our hot stone therapy to reconnect with yourself.

2. Commit to Consistency
Wellness isn’t a one-time event. Consider joining our membership for discounted services that keep your mind and body in check year-round.

3. Make Time for Mini Moments
Wellness doesn’t always mean hours at the spa (though we support that too!). Even a 30-minute foot reflexology session can help reset your nervous system and improve circulation.

Take the time this August to nurture yourself. You deserve it.

Book your self-care session now or gift it to someone who needs it.
Let’s make wellness a priority—together.
