Relatively unknown to most people living in the West until recently, cupping therapy is an alternative therapeutic method that has been popular in China since around 1000BC.
Cupping works by placing a glass or silicone cup on the skin. A vacuum is created inside the cup whereby it ‘sucks’ the skin up allowing new blood flow to the area.
It is painless and fantastic for regenerating muscle tissue.
Used for enhancing circulation, help in relieving pain, inflammation, stretching tight fascia and as an alternative type of deep tissue massage.
I use cupping in combination with acupuncture needles in treatment as well as cupping on its own with massage.
