Cupping Therapy is the treatment by which rounded glass cups are placed onto the skin to create a light suction, which can increase blood flow and circulation in particular areas of the body.
Following the treatment, cupping can leave what is known as “cupping marks” (the round circles often seen on athletes) on the body for several days after the treatment. These marks can vary from person to person, and can be discussed with our Chinese medicine practitioner at any time.
Some of the benefits of cupping can include local pain relief and muscle relaxation. Cupping can improve overall health by regulating the energy blockages that Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners identify as barriers to the flow of healthy energy (Qi) or circulation.
For athletes, cupping may help increase blood flow to a particular muscle region or help to reduce muscular tension.
