CUPPING
Cupping is an ancient practice that involves the use of glass cups placed directly onto the skin. The cup is either first heated with fire or manually pumped to create a vacuum. The cups are then left on your skin for several minutes. We have several options for cupping treatments, see below.
Benefits of cupping include:
-
The release of toxins such as calcium deposits and cellular debris.
-
Increased blood circulation & help move blood stagnation
-
Reduced pain and softened muscle tissue.
-
Released tissue adhesion
-
Increased flexibility.
-
Reduced inflammation.
-
Relieved mucus congestion in the lungs from respiratory conditions
The discoloration seen on the skin after a cupping session indicates the restoration of blood flow to the tissue that was previously experiencing sluggish blood circulation; this discoloration is not bruising. You will notice a decrease in discoloration after multiple sessions.​
This healing modality may be incorporated into your top-tier acupuncture treatment if directed by your practitioner for your personalized treatment plan. If you are looking for cupping as a standalone service, we have the following options:
