Cupping (11)

What Is Cupping Therapy? Cupping is an alternative therapy that originated in China many thousands of years ag...o. It involves placing heated cups on the skin to create suction. The suction causes the skin and muscle to lift allowing blood flow to the area, the suction also helps facilitate the flow of “qi” in the body. Qi is a Chinese word meaning life force. Many people believe that cupping helps balance yin and yang, or the negative and positive, within the body. Restoring balance between these two extremes is thought to help with the body’s resistance to pathogens as well as its ability to increase blood flow and reduce pain. Cupping increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed. This relieves muscle tension, which can improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair. It also helps form new connective tissues and create new blood vessels in the tissue. People use cupping to complement their care for a host of issues and conditions. What are the different types of cupping? There are two main categories of cupping performed today: Dry cupping is a suction-only method using massage oil or coconut oil. Wet cupping involves both suction and controlled bleeding making a small incision to let stagnant blood escape from the body. What should I expect during a cupping treatment? During a fire cupping treatment, a cup is heated onto the skin. The cup is heated with fire using alcohol and is a comfortable warm temperature, the treatment is generally relaxing and works fast to help knots and other ailments in the body. You should feel the muscles relaxing during the treatment. Fire cupping is like a deep tissue massage helping you feel relaxed while getting vital blood flow to your tight muscles. We recommend 3 sessions in total followed with a maintenance session each 4-6 months. Please book your free consultation today.
