CUPPING THERAPY
Cupping
Suction cup therapy is a traditional, time-honored treatment that remained favored by millions of people world-wide because it is safe, comfortable, and remarkably effective for many health conditions.
Cupping is one of the oldest methods of traditional Chinese medicine. This remarkable therapy employs negative pressure, rather than tissue compression. It is safe, comfortable, and effective for many health disorders. A vacuum is created in the cup by reducing the pressure in the cup. After placing on the skin it stretches the underlying tissue. The pulling action engages the parasympathetic nervous system thus, allowing a deep relaxation.
Benefits of cupping therapy include:
- increases blood circulation and lymph, improving metabolic function
- excretes lactic acid and toxins from muscles, releasing muscle tension
- stimulates digestive organs, improving elimination
- loosens adhesions and releases connective tissue and other soft tissue
