What is Cupping Therapy?
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. This therapy is believed to promote blood flow and help relieve pain, inflammation, and promote relaxation.
How does Cupping Therapy work?
Cupping therapy works by creating suction and negative pressure, which helps to loosen muscles, encourage blood flow, and sedate the nervous system. This can help to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and promote overall well-being.
What conditions can Cupping Therapy help with?
Cupping therapy can help with a variety of health conditions, including muscle pain, joint pain, inflammation, respiratory issues, and stress. It is also believed to improve circulation and promote detoxification.
Is Cupping Therapy safe?
When performed by a trained and experienced practitioner, cupping therapy is generally safe. However, it is not recommended for pregnant women, people with certain skin conditions, or individuals with bleeding disorders.
What can I expect during a Cupping Therapy session?
During a cupping therapy session, the therapist will place cups on your skin and create suction using a pump or by heating the air inside the cup. You may feel a tight sensation as the skin is pulled into the cup, but it should not be painful. The cups are typically left on for a few minutes before being removed.
