Cupping

Cupping therapy is a practice that involves briefly attaching rounded inverted cups to certain parts of the body using a vacuum effect. Some proponents suggest that the drawing of the skin inside the cups increases blood flow to the area.

Long used in traditional Chinese medicine and other ancient healing systems, cupping has gained considerable popularity in recent years

Cupping is often recommended as a complementary therapy for the following conditions:

  • Back pain
  • Headache or migraine
  • Knee pain
  • Muscle pain and soreness
  • Neck and shoulder pain
  • Sports injuries and performance
