Cupping Therapy
Generally cupping is combined with acupuncture in one treatment, but it can also be used alone. At Five Elements Acupuncture we use sliding cupping that feels very much like a remedial massage, but with added benefits, such as clearing congestion from the lungs and calming the nervous system.
Oil is applied to the skin first; the air in the cups is then quickly warmed and the cups are placed on the skin, creating a vacuum. The cups are then gently moved across the skin.
The vacuum within the cups can be gentle or firm, depending on personal preference, and the treatment can be particularly soothing to stiff, aching muscles.

How much does it cost?
Prices start at $65 for a 45 min session, or can be combined with acupunture in a 1.5 hour session for $110
What is involved?
Warmed glass cups are placed on your back which create a suction. They are glided over your back and shoulders.
Does it hurt or leave marks?
The treatment can be as soft or firm as you would like it to be. You may walk away with some red, bruise like marks but you won’t feel them. Some people mark quicker than others.

About Five Elements Acupuncture
Zoe Norris is a registered Acupuncturist and Chinese Herbalist with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). She is a practising member of the Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association (AACMA).
Zoe uses acupuncture, cupping and Chinese herbs to manage many common symptoms, including insomnia, muscle pain, joint pain, menstrual problems, anxiety, depression…and much more including facial rejuvenation. This is partly achieved by relaxing the nervous system and muscles, and encouraging circulation throughout the body. Immediate pain relief can often occur by using only a few accurately placed needles that unblock and balance the energy flow of the body.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) focuses on balancing the whole body by releasing blockages and subtle imbalances of energy which cause pain and dysfunction.
Zoe ensures gentle yet effective treatments in a friendly and relaxing environment. She is a caring and understanding professional who always has time to listen.
