what is cupping?
Cupping is a practice used by many different people throughout the world in places like India, China, Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas. Cups made of glass, bamboo, or other like materials are applied to create suction on various locations on the body.
This suction pulls stagnant blood, lactic acid, and other toxic elements to the surface of the skin. As these elements disperse, oxygen and nutrients are able to soothe muscle tension; allowing tissues to repair and heal.

why cupping?

When indicated, cupping has therapeutic benefit that no other modality can quite match. As compared to other treatments like massage or acupuncture, cupping increases blood circulation to a targeted area of the body. This stimulates the body to heal and repair the local tissues which reduces pain, decreases inflammation, creates better circulation, and makes for longer lasting improvement.
Cupping can be used as a stand alone modality in certain cases, but more often is used as an adjunct to acupuncture in a treatment. It is a needle-free alternative for those who prefer treatment without needles.
