Suction Cupping Therapy

 

Suction cup therapy is a technique that uses glass, bamboo, or plastic jars to create a vacuum on a person’s skin.

This vacuum sucks out the air, raising the underlying tissue partway into the cup. Cupping enhances circulation, relieves pain, removes “heat,” and pulls out toxins from the body’s tissues.

 

While a technique developed thousands of years ago and modernized for today’s usage, cupping’s philosophy remains relatively the same. 

 

We usually combine a cupping therapy with Acupuncture.
