Initials Consultation
Cupping is an ancient therapeutic technique that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. The cups can be made of various materials such as glass, bamboo, or silicone. When the cups are placed on the skin, the air inside the cup is heated or suctioned out, creating a vacuum effect. This causes the skin and superficial muscle layer to be drawn into the cup.
The length of treatment
Cupping is believed to have several effects on the body:
- Increased blood flow: The suction created by cupping helps to improve blood circulation in the area where the cups are applied. This increased blood flow can promote healing, reduce muscle tension, and relieve pain.
- Muscle relaxation: Cupping can help relax tight muscles and reduce muscle spasms. The suction created by the cups can help release tension and promote muscle relaxation.
- Tissue stretching: The suction and pulling action of cupping can stretch the underlying tissues. This can help improve flexibility and range of motion in the muscles and joints.
- Toxin release: Cupping is thought to help release toxins from the body through the skin. The suction created by the cups is believed to draw out metabolic waste products, cellular debris, and toxins.
- Pain relief: Cupping may provide pain relief by stimulating the nerves and reducing pain signals. It can also help reduce inflammation and promote the release of endorphins, which are natural pain-relieving chemicals in the body.
It’s important to note that cupping has been used for centuries in traditional medicine systems such as Chinese medicine, It’s always a good idea to consult with a registered practitioner before trying cupping.
