Cupping therapy aims to improving overall circulation throughout the body by loosening the muscles and joints. Highly effective for ache and pains, cupping increases circulation to the area as a way to decreases inflammation. It may also facilitate the elimination of toxins and other harmful substances from within the body.
Application involves placing the cups on the body and then creating a vacuum inside of each cup. The resulting suction pulls the blood of the patient to targeted areas of the body.
Do I need cupping?
Cupping is not for everyone. Your provider will assess your condition and determine if cupping is appropriate. It can be highly effective for people with muscle and joint pain, lung and skin conditions, itching, fever, insomnia or spasms.
What should I expect?
Cupping can provide almost instant relief for some pain conditions. For athletes, cupping can enhance mobility and muscle tonicity. For people with headaches, insomnia, or chronic stress, cupping can be a stress relieving treatment that assists the body and benefit long term health.
