Cupping Therapy

Cupping therapy is an intervention that uses suction to draw fluid to an area, creating healing properties and reducing an individual’s symptoms of tightness, discomfort and pain.

Cupping has existed in Egyptian and Eastern Medicine for centuries. This ancient method involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. The theory is that the suction created causes a local artificial inflammatory response. The body responses by increasing blood flow to that area. It also removes toxins including uric acid (a waste product of cell metabolism) and cholesterol.
