Safe, Centuries-Old Therapy
Cupping is an ancient Chinese therapy in which a therapist applies special cups to certain acupuncture points, or other parts of the body that are not functioning at their best. Cupping is used to help with pain, inflammation, stagnation, improve blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.
Benefits can include:
- promoting the skin’s blood flow
- changing the skin’s biomechanical properties
- increasing pain thresholds
- improving local anaerobic metabolism
- reducing inflammation
- boosting cellular immunity
