Cupping

Cupping has been in use for centuries around the globe, from Eastern Europe, to Egypt and the Middle East. It is known to activate the lymphatic system, promote blood circulation, and assist in deep tissue repair. Traditionally this method has been used to resolve muscle tension, the common cold, respiratory issues, menstrual and abdominal pain, and to reduce inflammation. Cupping involves mild suction, drawing up the skin and superficial muscle layer, which in turn releases tension and stagnation. It is the suction that creates those signature markings often seen on athletes who enjoy the benefits of this fast-acting therapy. Markings are normal to have for up to ten days after your treatment, and are a positive sign that your body is responding and reacting as intended. Patients usually leave feeling exceptionally relaxed, bright eyed, and blissful.
