Cupping
Cupping is an ancient healing method that uses suction cups on the skin to relieve sore muscles and tension, headache and pain.
Cupping stimulates healthy blood flow to the area and stimulates proper and normal healing at a cellular level. This can lead to the release of toxins and healthier tissue.
Benefits of Cupping Therapy:
Decreased pain and inflammation
Increased range of motion
Improved muscle tension
Increased blood flow
Your therapist will leave the cups in place for several minutes. They may also briefly move the cups to stretch and massage the area.
What to expect with a cupping Treatment:
Suction from cupping opens tiny blood vessels under your skin. You may have red, round cupping therapy marks afterwards. These should fade in 5-10 days. Although these marks will look like bruises, they’re not true bruises that injure muscle fibers.
