What is cupping?
Cupping is an ancient Chinese therapy used to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation and reduce inflammation. Cupping is based on the belief that many health problems can be caused by stagnant blood and poor energy flow through the body. In order to help fix or prevent these health issues, glass, silicone or plastic cups are applied to the skin to create pressure and pull the client’s skin inward. The cups draw blood to the area, leaving circular discolorations, while increasing overall blood flow and promoting cell repair.
Cupping can be used to treat temporary and chronic health issues such as improving immune function, back & neck pain, headaches, digestive problems and musculoskeletal tension.
