Can cupping remove my headache?

We never promise that. Many people find the pressure in the neck and shoulders eases and the headache becomes milder, but cupping is a complement and not a medical treatment for headache.

Do you cup directly on the head?

No, we work on the neck, shoulders and upper back. If you want relaxation around the head, our Dry Head Spa is a better fit.

Can I get a headache after the treatment?

Some people feel slightly tired or get a mild headache the same evening. Drink water, take it easy and avoid hard training. It usually passes within a day.

How many treatments are needed?

For recurring complaints we usually suggest three treatments two to three weeks apart, followed by maintenance as needed.

Cupping for headaches and tension

The most common headache is not migraine but tension headache. An even pressure around the head that often starts in the neck, shoulders or jaw. Here we explain the link between muscle tension and headache, how cupping is used on the neck and shoulders, what research actually shows and when a headache should instead be investigated by a doctor.
