Cupping Therapy Waiver and Consent
Cupping therapy, also known as vacuum therapy, is an ancient therapeutic practice that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. This technique is used to promote blood circulation, relieve muscle tension, reduce inflammation, and facilitate natural healing within the body. Cupping may also help alleviate pain, boost immunity, and improve overall well-being.
Please Note: While cupping therapy has many benefits, it is not a substitute for professional medical treatment or diagnosis. Always consult with a licensed healthcare provider for any medical concerns.
Possible Marks/Discoloration Cupping therapy may result in temporary marks or discoloration on the skin. These marks, often referred to as "cupping marks," are caused by blood being drawn to the surface and typically fade within a few days to a week. These marks are not bruises and do not indicate harm to the body.
Client Responsibilities
Medical Conditions and Medications: I agree to fully inform the therapist of any and all medical conditions, injuries, or medications that may affect my ability to safely receive cupping therapy. This includes, but is not limited to, cardiovascular issues, blood disorders, skin conditions, pregnancy, or recent surgeries.
Communication of Changes: I understand that it is my responsibility to notify the therapist of any changes in my medical history or current health status prior to each session.
