cupping

A therapeutic cupping treatment involves placing cups on the skin, creating a vacuum so the tissue is drawn up into the cup. The practice increases blood flow, loosens the fascia or connective tissue, and is thought to stimulate healing. It is similar to the way deep tissue massage can be used to break up scar tissue and reduce pain.

Cupping may cause temporary bruising and soreness, depending upon the degree of suction created by the vacuum and the level of internal stagnation. This would be a favorable outcome, suggesting the treatment has successfully removed toxins and stagnation.

Health benefits of Cupping

The benefits of cupping include local pain relief and muscle relaxation. Cupping improves overall health by removing the energy blockages that are barriers to the flow of healthy energy or qi. For athletes, cupping may help increase blood flow to a particular muscle region or help reduce pain. Numerous Olympic athletes use cupping but it has benefits for all of us.
