 Cupping is a traditional Chinese therapy that uses small cups to suction the skin and treat a variety
of ailments, from the common cold to pain syndromes. Cupping functions somewhat like a household plunger on a sink drain.
Sore muscles often hold stagnated blood, lymph and other toxins. Cupping clears these clogs in the body, and by releasing
stagnation it releases pain and disease.
Cups are usually applied to the back or abdomen and can help alleviate pain, digestive complaints, and respiratory disorders. Joints can also be cupped to reduce soreness and swelling due to chronic issues or acute injuries. Painless circular bruises may occur as a result of cupping therapy, and can last up to 14 days, though most disappear within a week. Cupping is highly effective for a tight upper back, and low back pain. It is often used to relief stress and promote relaxation. Adding cupping to a massage or shiatsu session is an additional $10. A 30 minute cupping only session is $45. |
