Overview
About Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is an ancient practice that involves using cups to create suction on the skin. The cups are typically made of glass, silicone or bamboo, and the suction is created either by using heat or a mechanical device. Cupping therapy has been used for centuries to treat a variety of conditions, from musculoskeletal pain to respiratory issues.
During a cupping therapy session, the cups are placed on the skin and then suction is created, which draws the skin and underlying tissue upward into the cup. The cups may be left in place for several minutes, or moved around the skin to create a massage-like effect. The suction from the cups promotes increased blood flow and can help to release muscle tension and fascial restrictions.
