Cupping Therapy

Cupping Therapy is an effective technique to boost blood circulation, alleviate muscle tension, and support healing processes. Originating from Eastern Medicine, this practice has recently gained recognition in Western Medicine for its numerous benefits. Cupping involves placing glass or silicone cups on the skin to create suction, which helps release tight muscles and connective tissue, improving blood and lymph flow. Additionally, cupping is believed to enhance the flow of chi (Life Force) and improve the balance of meridian lines (energy pathways), contributing to overall physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

The application of cupping can vary based on individual needs and goals. Cups may be left stationary for several minutes in strategic locations to target specific areas or used in a gliding motion to enhance circulation across a broader muscle group. In some cases, cups are applied to particularly tight spots, and movement is encouraged to help release these stubborn areas. This versatility allows therapists to tailor the treatment to each client’s unique requirements, making cupping a personalized and adaptive modality.
