Cupping

Cupping

Cupping involves the use of suction cups to create a vacuum effect on the skin. It is a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique used to alleviate pain by stimulating muscles and fascia, calm the nervous system, promote blood and lymph flow at a specific site and to eliminate pathogens from the body.

Practitioners frequently use cupping alongside other techniques for the quick relief of back, neck and shoulder pain. They may also use it to ease the symptoms of colds and flus by stimulating the immune system.
