Cupping Therapy: Explained

“Cupping is a therapeutic technique which uses cups to apply suction to the skin, which increases local blood flow and releases restrictions in soft tissue. Research has shown that cupping can decrease pain in areas treated, increase range of motion, and even help with such conditions as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and plantar heel pain.”

“Cupping can increase range of motion where it is restricted (such as in the shoulder or neck), and to relieve pain and stiffness in muscles and other tissues. Cupping in combination with massage is a powerful technique - and my clients love the results!”
