Cupping Therapy:
A Natural Approach to Pain Relief & Wellness
What is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping therapy is an ancient healing technique rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that uses suction cups to stimulate circulation, release muscle tension, and promote the body's natural detoxification process. This technique creates negative pressure on the skin, drawing blood flow to targeted areas to reduce pain, inflammation, and stress.
How Does Cupping Work?
During a cupping session, specially designed cups are placed on the skin and either left in place or moved in a gliding motion to create a deep, therapeutic effect. The gentle suction helps loosen tight muscles, break up fascia adhesions, and encourage the body’s natural healing response.
