What should clients typically avoid doing after a cupping session?

After a cupping session, it is generally recommended for clients to avoid strenuous activities and hot baths. The reason behind this guideline is that cupping therapy can leave the skin sensitive and potentially inflamed, as it creates a localized healing response. Engaging in strenuous activities may exacerbate this sensitivity, potentially leading to discomfort or even injury.

Hot baths can also increase circulation and exacerbate the effects of cupping, leading to increased redness and irritation in the cupped areas. Therefore, to maximize the therapeutic benefits of the cupping session and allow the body to properly adjust and heal, it's advisable for clients to minimize strenuous physical exertion and avoid hot baths shortly after the treatment.

Engaging in lighter activities or allowing the body to rest is often recommended to support the recovery process and enhance the benefits of the cupping therapy.
