Cupping Treatment

Cupping is the use of mild to moderate suction over areas that contain stagnant Qi or Blood. The cups are either kept in place or gently glided over various parts of the body. Most commonly the areas that respond best to cupping are the neck, shoulders, hips, thighs, upper and lower back. 

Generally, cupping is used in the treatment of pain but can be implemented as a relaxing therapy to maintain health.

Cupping is able to break up deeply held tension through strong suction in areas that have been chronically stressed. By releasing these areas of tension a slight discoloration on the skin is seen which is considered an ideal outcome of practice.

Many areas addressed in treatment are typically zones of chronic tension and haven’t had much relief in years. Cupping provides a method for addressing these areas of tension and creating healthier channels that move through these zones.
