What is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping Therapy is an ancient therapy, a form of alternative medicine that involves your healthcare professionals (typically performed by a chiropractor or in some cases massage therapists or physical therapists) placing cups on the skin to create suction. These can be made of glass, bamboo, or silicone cups and may be used stationary or moved gently across the skin.
This traditional Chinese medicine technique helps increase blood circulation, relieve muscle tension, and promote cell repair, while providing relief from a number of illnesses and injuries to the body.
By creating suction, Cupping lifts the skin slightly, opening blood vessels allowing for increased blood flow which facilitates healing and reduces muscle soreness.
