What is one reason a client might experience burns during cupping therapy?

One reason a client might experience burns during cupping therapy is due to the improper heating of cups. In cupping therapy, cups are often heated to create a vacuum effect, which helps draw the skin and underlying tissue into the cup. If the cups are heated excessively or are left on the skin for too long, the risk of burns increases significantly. It is crucial for practitioners to monitor the heating process carefully and ensure that the temperature of the cups is appropriate for safe use on the client's skin. Proper techniques and considerations are essential to prevent any thermal injuries, allowing the client to benefit from the therapeutic effects of cupping without adverse reactions.
