Cupping in Dana Point, CA

How it works
Inside a cupping session.
Place the cups
Silicone or glass cups are placed on the target area with a small amount of skin-safe oil.
Apply suction
The cups create negative pressure that lifts the skin and superficial fascia away from deeper tissue.
Static or gliding
Depending on the goal we either leave the cups in place for 5-10 minutes or glide them slowly across the area.
Pair with movement
You move the joint through range while cupping to encourage tissue glide.

Questions from local patients
Dana Point FAQs.
Do you offer cupping for patients coming from Dana Point?
Yes. Dana Point residents, including those near Dana Point Harbor and Doheny State Beach, regularly come in for cupping. The drive is about 15 minutes from Dana Point via I-5 at Pacific Coast Highway.
Do the marks hurt or damage skin?
No. The marks are surface-level and fade in a few days. They’re not bruises from impact; they’re from suction, which is a very different mechanism.
How is cupping different from scraping?
Cupping pulls tissue up; scraping shears across it. We often use both in the same session because they address the fascia from different angles.
